that's because they are too dumb to fully figure a phone out before reviewing it.Every review I watch, they always complain about how scrolling through the app list is so long.

Until at least 45 apps are installed and the letters appear, it's a valid complaint. And FWIW, I would have to admit that I find WP's system less efficient than iPhone's or Android's in real life. It does require more scrolling, tapping, and searching overall. Beautiful, yes. Efficient, no.
nor does the scrolling app drawer differ much from our list.
you want that why not just pin everything with a semi quarter tile? that way you can see at least 18 of them in one page.No, it doesn't differ much in theory. The difference is that on WP the app icon takes the entire width of the screen, which results in fewer apps being visible. On an Android or iPhone anywhere from 16 - 25 apps are visible at one time, on WP it's more like 8 - 12. I just know that in real world use I find that WP's system requires more scrolling, tapping, and searching overall. And currently I'm using WP and Android (920 & Nexus 5) side-by-side, so I'm up to date! :wink:

Human nature causes immediate dismissal of anything it deems inferior vs. taking time to study and accept.that's because they are too dumb to fully figure a phone out before reviewing it.
46 is the number. When you add an app that becomes the 46th item on the app list, the jump list appears.Not 45. 20-30
It is.I thought this was well known?

I was close at 45! What's interesting is that if you remove apps to make the total number 45 or less, the letters remain. So say you normally have less than 46 apps, but want the letters, simply install more apps until the letters appear. Remove the extra apps and you still have the letters.
