I have benefited from both this list and the outstanding work on
Applevis since about 2012. The lack of a specific search field seems a
recent direction; not sure this strategy is the best for novices to the
site. I haven't activated any of the items in the drop down replacement
for the search field to see if there is then a field offered after the
selection.
In any case, applevis has always been a treasure trove for me as have
various lists. If the web site is such a big issue, why not join and be
constructive? Pardon silly old me!

The last time I was on applevis, which hasn't been too long ago, I got
the same info so I just gave up. It's not as accessible as it was as
some people want to think.

Following up on the comment about people needing to use Applevos.com
before asking questions on this list…
I just went to Applevis.com with Microsoft Edge and with Firefox.
There are no search boxes, none, nada, nowhere.
If you are looking for information on an app, you cannot simply
search for it.
You have to drill down through many pages to get anything.
Even, after following the link from the main page titled, “Apps,” and
you find the heading for Apps, it says:
Apps
article
Here at AppleVis we strive to make it easier for you to find great
and accessible apps to use on Apple products.
From this page, you can browse and search our directories of iOS,
iPadOS, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV apps; see what apps others are
recommending; and
see which iOS and iPadOS apps our community has inducted into our
Hall Of Fame.
So, I followed the link to search, then you have a bunch (I was going
to say s***load, but thought better of it) of more links with not a
search box anywhere to be found.
So, at this point, applevis is only marginally useful, especially for
someone who is a beginner.
I have been using iDevices since they became accessible and can find
what I need most of the time without resorting to asking too many
questions on the list, but I used to always refer people to Applevis,
especially for their blog about updates, and I will still recommend that.
But as a source to find information about specific apps, or just apps
in general, it is a crazy rabbit-warren of trails that I won’t be
bothering with.

pass himself,” and we forget that only grace can break the cycle of
ancient hatreds among peoples. (It is notable that while I have
regretted not granting grace to others, I’ve never once regretted
extending it.)" - Edward Herbert
