I still don't understand how Apple does noet update their guidelines. Navigation and the top bar are sch a pain to use. Reachability helps, but it's just bandaid around bad decisions

Also, reachability suffered a big blow in usability when they got rid of the home button - swiping down on the bottom of the screen is very awkward and prone to clicking something unintentionally.

I was dependent on reachability with a 6S. Recently upgraded after that phone became unusable and I'm suffering the same problem as you.

I have about a 20% hit rate with reachability now. So if anyone has any tips please do share them.

I didn't even know what the new gesture was, just kept doing it by accident.

If you ever watch official demos, Apple users always use one hand to hold, one hand to gesture/interact.
