Should be macOS App Store title seems to imply the iOS one .
- tiglionabbit 10y agoWow, yeah. This is heavily implied by the header image that's full of iOS app shapes. My first thought was, how do you even get an app on your iPhone without the App store? That's just for developers, right? My next thought was that I generally don't discover things through the iOS App Store. I usually have to be told that they exist first, and even then the search doesn't always give me what I want since the App Store is full of knock-offs that should have been deleted for copyright infringement. But the App Store on desktop? Most folks are still used to the old way of going to a website and downloading a DMG.
- huangc10 10y agoAgreed. Title is misleading and is clearly clickbait. Please admin switch this.
- eriknstr 10y agoI'm surprised that the mods still haven't done anything about the title.
- DanBC 10y agoYou need to email them.
- eriknstr 10y agoShouldn't flagging it be sufficient?
- grzm 10y agoFlagging generally means the submission is inappropriate for HN. It affects ranking and, if flagged heavily enough, will kill the submission. Flagging isn't a "call" button for mods. I don't think they generally review a submission just because it's been flagged by a user.
- lucb1e 10y agoOh wow, I skimmed most of the article, mostly looking for how they got the app on iPhones, and did not even catch this. Misleading indeed.
