Dear Apple, please make my wishes come true!

In April I wrote a blogpost about iCloud and some features I wished for. At WWDC 2012, on June 11th I was happy to hear that some of the features I wished for actually had come true. Like an easier way to move documents from your Mac computer to iCloud. But I still have more wishes.

Dearest Apple, you know that I have been in love with you since April 1989 when we got our first MacPlus. I am one of the most loyal Apple customers you have on this planet. But, I am starting to get a bit annoyed about two things.

1. iCloud and the possibilities to move stuff between my devices. You have come up with iCloud as the solution, but it’s hard to understand how to use that solution and even harder to explain to others that are not as experienced as I am. The solution is not crystal clear and the fact that it only works for documents made in Apple’s own software, iWork makes the situation complicated. That’s why every iPad user I know also use DropBox. Please Apple: we are a lot of people using your devices that need simple solutions to move documents between our devices (or get access to them from different devices) and we also have the need to share documents with others. 
2. iWork; I get the feeling that you have stopped developing the OS versions of iWorks because you have been so excited about the iOS versions. And of course, I appreciate your enthusiasm about iOS – but we are a lot of people outside Infinite Loop that like to work with Pages, Keynote and Numbers, we are professionals and we want our software to work as fine as we expect from a company like Apple. I notice small faults all the time. Today it was about the spelling check in Keynote. It doesn’t matter how much I try to change the language from Swedish to English – the spelling check still goes for Swedish. I try to report the faults I notice when they occur, but, today I realized that I no longer expect iWork to work flawless. And that is a bad sign.

Otherwise I think you do a marvelous job and I am especially happy about Tim Cook and his way to handle things. Apple is in good hands and I have confidence in you.

BTW – if you want my opinion, you know that I’m always available, right? *nod nod hint hint* (Like if anyone at Apple should ever read my blog, but a Gotlandic woman can always make a wish…)
