The AirDrop UI does not scale well when many apps are installed. It uses an alert view that, while scrollable, is quite confusing. Adding icons and using a grid might be a better solution (one could use a UI similar to SpringBoard for selection - or like the activity view controller)

Steps to Reproduce:
Install apps that can open PDF. There are lots. You can also try our PDF Viewer: pspdfkit.com/viewer

AirDrop a file. Observe massive dialog.

Expected Results:
Better UI

Actual Results:
Loads of text.

Version:
iOS 9.3.5 and 10.0b6
