Well, the app store is a pretty big mess. Search does not work and Apple doesn't curate apps. It doesn't help that you make an app people want to use and pay

Well, the app store is a pretty big mess.
Search does not work and Apple doesn't curate apps.
It doesn't help that you make an app people want to use and pay for if they can't find it.
- neap24 10y agoI don't disagree that the app store is a mess, but it doesn't seem any more of a mess than other markets for media. Think about trying to discover good indie films, video games, or music. It's not that easy. No central authority "curates" them and the main avenues of consumption barely recognize them. Basically, you have to subscribe to blogs, magazines, and independent reviewers that rate and rank them. This seems exactly the same for apps in the app store.
- amazon_not 10y agoSure, but Apple is that central authority that both provides the store and the search functionality. They could do better.
