I think developers should consider spending $1-$10 on graphics from sites such as graphicriver to spruce up the design of their apps. I for one am happy Apple rejects ugly applications. There is no place for them on my phone

Because if Apple didn't reject them you'd wake up one day and find 50 of them pre-installed for you?

  No, because if Apple didn't reject them you'd download 50 of them in the process of finding one good one.

    Doesn't Apple show you screenshots and reviews?

        I think Apple, and it's users, are unashamed in their belief that Apple providing users a good experience is a good thing.

  That's not really the point. If there are 50 bad apps for every good one the store would be a horrible place to browse. If Apple enforces some level of quality then it becomes a better place for developers to sell their apps. I have the unpopular opinion that apple is already too lenient on app quality. I've been rejected quite a few times. In almost all cases the customer was better off for it.

You're getting down voted so I'm going to post that I agree with you, but maybe add some perspective that you might have missed. I agree that the Apple app store is better without the ugly apps because there already are so many apps out there. Another poster made a comment about "reviews" and "screenshots." Yes, there are reviews and screenshots, but for some app types having to weed through even what does make it through is very time consuming. So this saves me time from having to look myself. I'm not sure what could allow a more lenient acceptance strategy and help me weed through apps I'm not interested in, but I'd certainly appreciate it! There are some app types/categories where it would be too bad if an ugly app didn't make it through, but I think in the grand scheme of the Apple app store these sorts of rejections are a positive.

I really wish they submitted their iOS 7-8 icons to themselves to get a rejection and maybe improve them.
