Seriously. Miserable load times in iTunes, not being able to use the same Apple ID to access different teams in iTunes Connect, lack of an API to the dev portal, lack of OAuth support, laughable reporting in iTunes connect, cryptic sync errors with iCloud. The list goes on and on.
- kalleboo 13y agoThey fail at even the most basic stuff too. Like how when you launch a new app on the App Store, for the following 6-8 hours users get random errors ("not available on store", "not available in this country", sporadically missing from search, etc) when they try to download it as it propagates through the app store CDN. This even affected the recent OS X updates launched on the Mac App Store. Imagine if Amazon CloudFront worked like that! And imagine if Amazon had to shut down their whole site when they updated one product like the Apple Store Online.

- kalleboo 13y agoIt makes sense to shut it down during keynotes, events, etc. But the store also goes into "we'll be back" mode once or twice a month for routine updates.
