App Updates Could Use Some Work

by Brenda Stokes on July 24, 2008

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.
