I don’t use the App Store often, but today I tried to search for a couple of apps that were mentioned in a series I am following “can it be done in react native”. On both occasions I search for the app name. The names are very unique and yet the App Store doesn’t return them anywhere near the top of the list, if at all. Is this now typical of the app store? Why do they even bother having a search? This must be hurting discovery of new apps.
