Is the reworked App Store faster? I always wonder how they could make it so slow without any feedback while it navigates between pages.

- cs02rm0 8y agoSubjectively, yes, I think it is.
- Androider 8y agoIt's faster, but still incredulously slow. For example, when you launch it it's just a black rectangle for 3-5 seconds (2018 Macbook Pro). And the UX is all over the place, with 3-4 different ways to go back/close whatever you're looking at. The way you navigate reviews with side-swipes might sense on a phone but makes no sense whatsoever on the Mac. You can tell it's made to spec and with zero developer love softening the rough corners, because no developer who cares would make a full-screen screenshot view mode you cannot exit with Esc.

I really LOVE this aspect of the mac. gestures are functionally useless on windows coz of the uber patchy support for them....
- andrewmcwatters 8y agoLooking at the recent news about Marzipan, I'm fairly certain the App Store we got is actually the iOS App Store. There's so many iOS design motif quirks.
