[scopes] Accessing preview in Apps scope is not intuitive

[costales]

Hi!

When the Ubuntu Phone is in offline mode, I can't browse my installed applications, then I can't uninstall.

Please, allow a offline browse.

Thanks in advance!

Can you please clarify? The store cannot be browsed while offline (as it would be impossible to install any apps of course). However, the main apps scope is the "offline" mode, and lists all the installed apps you have. You can long press on the icons to get to a preview for those applications, and uninstall them.

Is this what you are looking for?

Yes ;) Exactly. But that behavior is not intuitive :)
Best regards!

------ UX comment ------

By default, tapping on a card opens the associated preview page. There are some exceptions to this rule and installed apps is one one of them. Currently, tapping on a card that displays an installed app opens the app and long pressing the card opens the preview where user can uninstall it (independently of the phone being online/offline mode).

There’s an ongoing discussion about making direct activation the default. This will be part of the Scopes customisation project where we’ll specify a new card interactional model.
