Relevant to the "Apple changes App Store search" story from the last couple of days: I am so far completely unable to find this app by searching for "podcasts", or even "podcasts apple".
A quick Google search, on the other hand, worked instantly.
- k-mcgrady 14y agoWhen new apps are released they are usually available via direct link before they start appearing in search results. The roll out is gradual on a per country basis. With my apps it can take 1-3 hours before they appear in search on all stores.
- siglesias 14y agoIf the search results are sorted by popularity, it will rise to the top very quickly.
- fredsted 14y agoI couldn't see it on the App Store, but when going to the direct link, I got a message saying it requires iOS 5.1 - I'm on 5.0.1. Maybe it's because your device isn't up to date.
- johns 14y agoI founded it on the home page of the App Store (iOS 6 version) under featured. Direct link didn't work for me.
- moron 14y agoWhen I searched for "podcasts apple" it was the very last result. I guess that's noble? At the very least they weren't using their status as the owner of the store to promote their own app, I'll give them that.
- raimondious 14y agoOdd, I searched the store for "podcasts" and it was the first result.
