Discoverability is horrible on the iOS App Store. I have looked for a good RSS reader on there in the past and only been served shovelware.
I found out about NNW from DF the other day. Even after using and installing it, it is nowhere to be seen when I search for RSS.
Apples broken App Store system surfaces cheap crappy apps. Apple wants users to make impulse purchases so they can skim 30% off the top. It’s a bad experience and is doing tremendous long term damage. Steve Jobs would be pissed.
- quesera 6y ago> Steve Jobs would be pissed Discoverability on the App Store has always been horrible. That, and App Store performance (search, page load, etc) are high on the list of things that baffle me most about Apple. These are not hard problems to fix. There is no incentive to not fix them. Customers are suffering. FTFAS.
- arvinsim 6y ago> There is no incentive to not fix them. I think there is an incentive not to. If you buy Apple hardware, you are stuck with these stores. They know you will complain but ultimately comply and accept.
- leadingthenet 6y agoThat makes no sense. Wouldn't Apple want you to download as many apps / spend as much money on new shiny things as possible? I think it's just incompetence.
- abdulmuhaimin 6y agoyou mentioned zero incentive. no incentive to fix =/= incentive to not fix
- lonelappde 6y agoI can't even remember where App Store hides the search button every time I look for an app (which I have to do because iOS provides no other way to search for an app already installed on my device)
