App Store limiting categories

In category view in the App Store (on the phone itself), I used to be able to browse through the entire list of apps in any given category. Now the lists are broken up into screens displaying 25 apps each. There is a "View 25 More" button at the bottom, which is great - except that after 4 screens (100 apps), the button goes away, and I can't browse through any more apps.
What's up with that? There are more than 100 apps in almost every category, yet I can only browse 100 in any given category! Anyone else? Is there a fix? Thanks!

Thank you both for the response.
My iPhone 3G did not used to exhibit this behavior in the AppStore, however. When I first bought it in August, and up until a few weeks ago, I could simply browse through all of the apps in a given category, under the category view.
Oh well. Not a big deal, and as Jason recommends, I can accomplish the same thing through searching.
Thanks!

  • ITunes App Store no "Categories" menu?

    Every category within the iTunes store has its own landing page, complete with a menu of top-level categories. Music and Movies has a Genres menu. Podcasts has a Categories menu. Audio Books has a "Popular Authors" menu where Genres ought to be (huh?) and what does the App Store have?
    "App Store Quick Links", with such relatively arbitrary categories as "Comics", "Summertime", and "Zombies!".
    Once all of my Zombie needs have been met, what if I'm looking for actual top-level categories such as Productivity, Weather or Business? The most consistent, intuitive thing would be to have a Genres/Categories menu like every other section, putting the user one click away from the content they're looking for.
    There ARE methods of getting to specific app categories, but none of them meet the guidelines that Apple itself set out for app designers, such as not making users feel like they have to visit too many screens to go to the content they want, or using the left pane to provide users with a persistent menu of top-level categories. If the iTunes version of the App Store was up for review, it might well get rejected!
    (Even the App Store on the iPhone/iPad, the most intuitive App Store interface of the lot, chooses to make top-level categorical content two "clicks" in, instead of one.)
    Somewhere there's a UI developer pulling her hair out because Sales&Marketing thinks more apps would be sold if there was a "Zombies!" category where "Education" or "Travel" ought to be.

    iTunes apps are for iOS devices such as iPads, iPhones, and the iPod touch.
    Apps you download from the Mac App Store are for the Mac OS X.
    Two different operating systems.

    The Apple App Store(INDIA) refuses to show categories on my ipod touch. When I tap the category pane in the appstore , it shows a blank area(it does not load the categories list) . At first I thought it must be some connectivity issue or something. But looks like many users are facing this problem. Whats more interesting is , all other countries App store displays categories list and works fine on my ipod except for my country's. What is wrong . how do i fix it ??
    PS : Apart from categories , other panes such as "featured" , "top 25" , "search" , "update" everything loads fine ..
    Any help would be appreciated !

  • HT1689 New iPad Limited App Store

    I just got a new iPad, and cannot seem to pull up more than 30 available apps in any category in the app store. By comparison, a general search of categories on my iPhone yields literally hundreds of results. To the best of my knowledge, I have no limitations or restrictions that would cause this. Is there something else I need to do to get a more broadened list of apps?
    thanks

  • IPhone limited to 130 apps at a time! 6,200 apps available in app store

    The i phone is limited to nine app screen i notice this when i try to move on to a tenth screen and it would not let me and also when you download a app after all 9 screen are full the app dose not show up but the app store says it is installed apple needs to expand the amount of screen allowed. you then end up having to delete 2 apps download 1 app in able to make the invisible app appear you have to try this one out for your self so you get a better idea of what i mean so it looks like we are limited to 144 apps per iPhone subtract 14 apps that come default on the screen not including the 4 that are on the bar below you are left with 130 apps that can be downloaded and use at a time per i phone that ***** there are over 6,200 apps available in the app store as i type this to you and apple is limiting me to only carry 130 at a time there is somthing worng with this and i think somthing should be done!

    No acutally what that means is most people like myself have to install 30 apps just to get the iphone to do half the things it should have done out of the box. Sure some are wants but most are "need" in order for it to do the things my old palm treo 600 could do, and still there's not copy and past and no video. On top of that they have a stupid 130 limit. I'd love to hear why that is.

  • Every time I click on the Categories tab or Top 25 tab in the app store, it says 'too many http redirects'

    Every time I open the app store on my iPod touch, it says 'too many http redirects' whenever I click on the Categories and Top 25 tabs. I tried force quitting the app store, that didn't work. I tried closing all windows in Safari and force quitting safari, also didn't work. I reset the network settings, that didn't work either. When I reset all settings, it appeared to work. The tabs were different (it had a Genius tab), but it worked. However, immediately after force quitting the app store (I force quit a lot to keep as much RAM clear as possible), the same thing happened again. Does anyone know a permanent, Apple-supported solution to this problem? And please do not say restoring it. I don't want to start from scratch just to potentially experience the same problem.

    See:

    However, it seems to be an Apple/network problem beyond your control

  • On my iPad 2 I cannot click on an app in the app store or click on different app categories. What should I do????

    When I go into the app store on my iPad 2 I can't click on apps to view them nor can I click on different app categories. What is wrong and what should I do???

    Try closing the App Store app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IOS 5 Bug in app store Categories button

    In app store.app, after entering top charts, repeting touch the categories button, everytime it has been repeted instead of just doing the first time! This problem allso existed in other aspects of the ios 5 system.

    Ok correction: this problem has occurred only once. That I found nothing can be clicked in app store.app. But right after I quit and get back, everything looks fine. Dont know why it happened at first, even dont know wheter it will happen again.

  • System Requirements are too terse - Is this a limitation of the App Store?

    Greetings. I've noticed that several games, like Borderlands, +Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare+, Trine, +Civilization IV: Colonization+, and a few others list Mac OS X 10.6.6 as their only system requirement. However, the "more" description reads out more detailed system specifications.
    Is this a limitation on the amount of information developers can use to describe their apps in the App Store, or is this something the developers are doing out of preference?

    The information is provided by the developers. Format is a restriction of the web site.

  • App Store Categories error

    Whenever i go to app store and go into categories all the options have the skype icon and say app store. I have done a reset and a full restore neither of which fixed it. I phoned apple support and they had no idea how to fix it, they told me the best that they could do was send it away for a repair. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a solution or any other information on it?

    On second thought.... don't follow these instructions.... it may appear to work, but its actually showing you the US store... (Noticed this because Pandora is listed, and its a US only music app)
    When you try and purchase anything, it says your account is only valid with the Canadian store, and not valid with the US store.
    Tried to go to settings to fix it, but it also gives the US store error, and wont let me in.
    Synching with iTunes puts you back to the Canadian store, and also brings back the Categories issue... Guess we'll have to wait for apple to fix their Canadian store.

  • App store categories

    How can I change the category in the app store from games to productivity?  In the app store clicking the lower categories button takes me to games, and there is no list to select another category.  The upper left button only allows for game subcategories...  What am I missing?  Thanks...

    are you accessing through iTunes? if so, is there a little left pointing triangle at the top of the iTUnes window? that's your 'back' button within iTunes.
