I removed almost all of them from the home screen and just search. I have folders for: messaging (including email), media (ebooks, music, photos, video streaming service), and organization/learning (some overlap between the two activities, plus neither filled out a folder on their own).

It's much easier this way.

I've recently switched to by-color layout. Each screen has all the apps of the same color.

Fun fact: there's A LOT of blue apps, and almost none are purple.

By use case - comms, banking, auth, etc
