The Creative Cloud Desktop Interface is borderline insulting

Surely I can't be the only one who shakes their head a bit anytime they open up the CC Desktop app? There was a time when it was fairly useful, and looked as if it were made for the professional customers Adobe depends on. Not today:

It'd be one thing to have the Home and Apps screens set up as they are now if we still had the option to customize it. But there's no way around it, leaving us stuck with a cluttered interface crammed with the equivalent of in-game advertising, despite paying for the privelage via our monthly/year subscriptions.

Hi @DBowker3D , the listing of apps is available on the Home tab but it looks like it's been turned off. If you go to "Preferences" > "Home" > Enable "Show shortcuts in Home", it'll provide you with a listing of apps you have installed and you'll also be able to trigger updates for relevant apps by right-clicking on the shortcut.

 

Thanks for the feedback on the Apps tab. We're working on updates based on the feedback we've been hearing from our members.
