This has been the case for the past one or two years already. Every app category is completely filled with scams, crappy clones, and brainless mass-produced 'puzzle games' [1].
Just yesterday I was searching for a 3D modelling app, and roughly 80% of the results were this type of game, while the apps I wanted were far down the list (and came with a $14,99/month subscription).
The store has become a complete shit show, and the curation that used to justify the walled garden is nowhere to be found. We get the worst of both worlds.
[1] if you can even call them 'games'. They are usually a set of static illustrations, a cheap backstory loosely related to the topic, some drag-and-drop puzzles, and little glimpses of child abuse, violence and sex, being promoted for a 12+ age range.
- JKCalhoun 4y agoIt is a shit show. I have zero interest in shipping through the App Store any longer, zero interest in iOS development anymore. You're going up against free (with In-App Purchase!) and so much noise — I'm not sure how a good app will even be discovered any longer. Like you, I've given up trying to find apps that way.
