Start with the low download apps so that the more “important” apps get the message and update. If an app is downloaded lots it’s a toss up between giving customers the best experience and keeping an app they need available.

> it’s a toss up between giving customers the best experience and keeping an app they need available. There is no toss up. Any move that removed “an app [people] need” is completely opposed “to giving customers the best experience”.

  Remember that people like basisword believe they know better than normal people what is good for them, and so in their mindset they seriously believe that it is somehow doing right by users to protect them from their beliefs about what they "need".

    This comment seems uncalled for. it’s a different sort of experience and different people like different things. I don’t like it when I download an app, only to find that it opens in a weird size because it hasn’t been updated in years. I’d rather not have that as an option to download ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      This is starting to turn into tabs vs. spaces kind of argument.

      Yes, Apple should control all of our choices. I'm not sure why there even is an app store. They could just add and remove apps from our devices as they deem fit. Less hassle and we would have all the hot new apps.

      I get the feeling, but at the same time I personally disagree with it as well as disagree that the store should be run that way. Aside from the fact that it further restricts what it means to “buy” and app (it’s not just a license to use it for as long as apple deems it good looking enough) there’s the bigger issue of purpose. I don’t download an app so that I have a nice looking UI. I download an app to DO something, to solve a problem. If the app does it in style (or in line with the newest ui fads) that’s nice. But it’s not why I’m looking for an app. If my options are between a bad looking app and no app, then I’ll take the bad looking one 100% of the time.

The sheer arrogance of thinking you know what a person believes based on one comment. A store owner has every right to not sell broken products. It’s as simple as that.
