I strongly disagree. Finding a product on Amazon is significantly easier than finding something in the App Store. Sometimes even if you know the exact name of the app you literally cannot access it unless you have the URL. Their search is awful and forget browsing with the amount of content.
- CodeCube 8y agoCan confirm this experience

The Play Store (other than the horrific naming) strikes a decent balance, but isn't particularly great either. Don't know why app stores seem to be so challenging for all the players in the space.
- toasterlovin 8y agoProbably because for apps there isn't a rich interconnected web of linked content to tell an algorithm what it needs to know in order to provide a good search experience. Google kinda got lucky in the sense that the discussion about the web happens on the web.
- NearAP 8y agoTo stretch this a bit, I feel like "search" in general is a weak spot for Apple. For example, I think the search in Apple Mail and searching my Macbook are both very bad, especially the one for Apple Mail.
