I also have difficulties with the Home screen and I would rather use the
Launcher screen to switch between apps. I think the reason is that

in Home screen:

 * Covers move around so I have to go through them one by one to find the
app I need. Only if I continuously swap between two apps, I might trust
that the app is the first or second one in the grid.
 * Cover texts/images change, so I have to read/decypher images to
understand which app they relate to. This is slow.

in Launcher screen:

 * App icons don't move around. I can rely on my spatial memory and find
the app always at the same spot. Often, I have already moved my finger over
the app before the screen has stopped scrolling.
 * App icons don't change. Recognizing a familiar icon is faster than
reading/decyphering images.

Perhaps the number of covers displayed on Home could be customizable? I
would limit it to three small ones (or remove all). The app icons could
move up to occupy the free space.

Also pinning the covers would help (I would pin most of them).

I never close apps, so I have all the time nine small covers on the Home
screen. Am I doing it wrong?

Cheers,
Kari
