App Updates Could Use Some Work





It’s no secret that I love iPhone apps. You can find me browsing the App Store more often than I’d like to reveal. But getting to my point, while browsing the store, I’ve noticed a few things that probably need to be addressed in an upcoming update.

For instance, after I install updates to applications through the App Store on my iPhone, the updates are treated like a whole new app and clutter up my screen. Plus, I’ll often have to go into iTunes on my computer in order to see what updates are really available then download them and sync them with the iPhone. 

And as if that weren’t enough, the App Store crashes. A lot. And I’ve noticed when browsing the store on my phone that if I click on a title to read about it and then go back to the search results, it defaults back to the top of the list. Minor complaint, I know, but annoying nonetheless. 

Hopefully a few tweaks will come to us soon. Because other than these quirks, I’m in app downloading heaven!

    With the number of Apps exploding, it would be nice to have more and better ways to browse as well.

    The “Top 25″ list, for example, should allow you to select not just between free and paid, but also “top downloads” vs. “top ratings”. And while you can expand this to top 50, it would be nice now that there are so many, to be able to expand it to 75 and then to 100 as well.

    Recently added apps should also be there, allowing you to see the most recent 25 or 50 (or 75 or 100) added apps. Recently updated would be nice as well.

    The “categories” could use some tweaking as well, with some categories becoming so overloaded that it would be useful to have some “sub-categoris” to help deal with them.
