I keep things simple and use Spotlight for most navigation.

A fellow spotlight navigator! There are dozens of us!
I like keeping a little extra space
Do you live near a coast? The weather is so nice
US west coast. Generally pretty temperate climate.
I try to keep all interactive UI elements at the bottom so I can use the phone with one hand more easily.
Quite a lot of fediverse going on there^^
I’ve got 2.5 pages of apps in that folder 😅
Hope Avelon is in there! It’s my favorite app so far!
It is! I don’t use it as often, Memmy is still my favourite, but I check in on it from time to time and it’s progressing quite well
What’s the treble clef app?
Think it’s the Apple Music Classical app.
Yep that’s the one
Apple Music Classical. The best way to stream classical music now that Primephonic is gone
Huh. I wonder why it’s a separate app. Well I have it now thanks!
Not sure if you’ve ever tried classical music on Apple Music or Spotify but it’s awful. Those apps aren’t at all designed for classical. You kinda need a different app for that. They bought Primephonic a while ago and promised to make their own classical music app, and took a good long while doing it, but it finally came and I downloaded it immediately. If you know your stuff with classical it’s far easier now to find specific recordings, and if you just listen to it casually or are wanting to discover new classical music it’s good for that too.
I only really listen to a few of the most popular classics, and not on a regular basis. But I’m pretty excited to try this separate app out and discover something new. Cheers.
Mine is very close to yours. 
Merlin Bird ID! Awesome.
I just recommend this app to my mother in law in lieu of one of those morbidly expansive camera bird feeders.
I have been looking at building one with a Pi for my wife.
That’s such a good ideal—good luck!
Hello, fellow apple users.
Here is mine:
Edit: word and forgot pic, hahahaha
Mine is boring apart from the cute doggy. The doggy himself is less boring when not two dimensional.
That isufcu icon is a real gem
Haha, it’s definitely an eye catcher ^^
I like to keep everything on one page. Also, I am an app hoarder. Each folder has multiple pages, grouped together. Some icons are shortcuts which bring up a list of related apps. It looks like a lot but it works for me lol.
Voyager seems popular here. I've been on Memmy before but will give it a try.
Homescreen, what for?
I keep all my third-party apps on page two. That's also the page I activate before locking the phone.
I have a shortcut to change the wallpaper every day to whatever is the Bing image. Keeps it fresh.
I like to keep space at the bottom, and only 3 buttons in the dock. Most-used, quick access in the bottom right.
Most used apps grouped in dock
I always tried to have my most used apps up front and upgraded to folders, once that was a thing. So far it still works for me, all else goes via spotlight. Rarely do I see page two. 🙃
