Apple Pursues New Search Features for a Crowded App Store
- generj 11y ago"App developers have for years urged the iPhone maker to add fresh discovery tools for users, arguing the crowded market makes it increasingly hard for people to discover new apps or build sustainable businesses." I think what makes this newsworthy is mostly how long it took Apple to seriously work at implementing this feature.
- DigitalJack 11y agoI wouldn't confuse work being done with publicly talking about work being done.
- stevetrewick 11y agoI suppose at this point any change is welcome, but after 8 years of the store and 7 years of "how Apple could/should fix the store" posts, I'm struggling to remember a single time I've heard anyone suggest that paid search would be a good thing. While 'better discovery' has definitely been on most lists, trials and paid upgrades generally come higher up. Interesting that the one thing Apple trails to the press is something basically no one asked for.
