App Store with 200k titles is a plus? Are you serious? How will your dad be able to find anything useful there?

- slantyyz 16y agoYou're right, the App store is a real problem. Because of the low signal-to-noise ratio, discoverability is less than optimal, even using search. The only way I find out about good apps right now is through word-of-mouth and through reviews on trusted sites. Apple needs to fix this.
- jodrellblank 16y agoI'll just call further attention to this - it's highly unhelpful that the reviews can be sorted by best/worst/newest. Best is always "WOW I CAN SEE MY COMPUTER" style and worst is always "IT DOES NOT WORK GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK". Actually helpful app reviews would be a massive improvement.
- grinich 16y agoI bet a lot of other companies wish they had this problem.
- jsz0 16y agoLooking at the top free/paid apps is a pretty good strategy, search, or word of mouth. The App Store promotes exploration by having good descriptions/screenshots, categorizations, colorful icons, clean text, etc. It's almost automatic for me to pop into the App Store to see what's new almost every time I pickup my iPad.
