You want Apple to pick 100 big apps and promote them?
That would take away from the smaller person's chance.
That list grows stale and complaints over who is on the list starts.
- arthurcolle 5y agoThe arbitrary integer n = 100 is out of place, comparing your example with GP's comment. The commenter is totally right - the Mac App Store is just a gimmick in the same way that the iOS App Store is a total gimmick to accumulate fees from app developers. The fact that the review system is so broken is a pure indictment of the model itself.
- ipaddr 5y agoUsing reviews seems like the fairest idea 10 years ago. Society has changed. Couldn't they take reviews/rating on every app from the public, critics and other stats like downloads to create a scoring system like rotten tomatoes?
- arthurcolle 5y agoI meant app reviews from apple itself before getting any new update approved for listing on the app store, not user reviews of the app utility
- makecheck 5y agoWell honestly they should just have links to all apps but that would require the search engine to not also suck (different discussion). It’s just surprising to me that Apple didn’t take such a basic step to do this, when it seems it would so clearly increase the value of the platform. It is why it is difficult to believe anything they say about how much they “love” the Mac...every single action they take to “help” the Mac platform is just baffling.
