I hate to whine but I hope ads are clearly labeled as ads, and also that this doesn't replace their efforts to make the app store and app discovery more friendly.
- Operyl 9y agoThey’re very clearly labeled as ads, and as far as I can tell there’s only like one at the top usually, not taking up all the screen space, and has a different background color even.
- varenc 9y agoApple's help docs show how the ads appear: https://searchads.apple.com/v/help-basic/a/images/overview/how-ads-look_large_2x.jpg https://searchads.apple.com/v/help-basic/a/images/overview/h... They seem quite clearly marked as ads.
- noncoml 9y agoYet my elderly parents(50+ and 60+) and quite a few non-techie friends tap on the first result that comes up when I ask them to install an App. It’s a reason to not buy them a premium Apple device next time.
- sosborn 9y agoIs the Play store better about this?
- aerotwelve 9y agoNo, but Apple is supposed to be better than Google about this. What a shame.

- jws 9y agoI either gift the app or send the link instead of just the name. That turns it into a click instead of a search. An unambiguous search would take a paragraph to describe.
- noncoml 9y agoThat's an awesome idea, thanks!
- briandear 9y agoBeing in one’s 50s is considered “elderly?” No wonder there is ageism in tech. 50 year olds are considered feeble minded and apparently unable to read.
