What fixes it for me is reindexing via going into Spotlight preferences and adding /Applications to the list of folders not to index, then removing it.

I've had the same problem with Spark and even Xcode, so very unlikely it's Apple willfully refusing to index. What fixes it for me is reindexing via going into Spotlight preferences and adding /Applications to the list of folders not to index, then removing it.

But can you get up and walk around no matter what device they're playing from? Can you share them with a friend as you're walking together? Can you take them in the pool while you leave your phone safely at your towel?
Different products for different applications.

When interning at Microsoft, Satya came to us one day to present about customer engagement. What stuck with me most from his talk was how important it is to find what he calls a "real fan" of your product. To him, this is the kind of person who loves your work so much that they will go out of their way to talk about it and recommend it to their friends and colleagues.
Since then, I've been looking for products I am a "fan" of. The only two that have come up from the "big companies" are VS Code and AirPods. Maybe iMessage. Kind of a shame that with all the millions/billions that have gone into product development. Those 2/3 seem pretty wide spread; I'd be interested to see what additional things others are fans of.
