Games section on the App Store

Is it just me or is the game section on the iPAD different than every other category?
Every other category lets me see everything within that section when I click on new. Where I have pages and pages of apps to choose from.
Maybe I'm an idiot, but I don't see the same thing on the games section. I know there are hundreds of games for the iPAD, but I'm only seeing 15-20 of them.
How do I view ALL the games for the ipad, and not just the new and noteworthy, or the featured ones?

Unfortunately, the App Store for the iPad is really quite bad, so far. I'm hoping they will improve it soon. If you do a search on the word "game" in the store and then click the "See all" button, you'll get dozens of pages of games, all of them, I presume. The problem is that they only show in pages of twelve. You have to then scroll through the entire list, one page of twelve at a time. Each page takes a rather long time (relatively speaking- about three seconds) to load, so it's tedious to get through. Then, most annoyingly, if you click on an app to check it out, when you go back to the search list, it returns you to the very first page, for some reason. How ridiculous! Especially if you were on page 30. The only way around this is to write down (on a piece of paper, no less, because if you exit the App Store you'll also be back on page one when you return) the names of any apps that strike your fancy, and then do a search for them after you're done scrolling through all the games.
Another thing you can do is search for game categories, like "adventure games" or "word games" and get a more narrowed list when you click on "see all."
Hope they improve this real soon.

  • HT1918 My husband's iPhone4 uses one apple id for purchases and updates, but another is listed in the App Store. How do I reconfigure his phone to only use the apple I'd and password that is used in the the "featured" section of the App Store?

    My husband's iphone4 seems to have 2 apple ids. The one listed in the featured section of the App Store is the correct one. The one that asks to be signed into for purchase and updates is also mine, and the incorrect one. Hence, our devices are linked. How can I remove my apple Id from his phone so that there is no connection between the two?

    I think it may be because he got his phone first and not seeing a future issue, I set his phone up to my already existing apple Id used for my iPod. If I connect his iPhone to our pc, can I create his own apple id account?

    How do I clear updated apps listed by date in the Updates section of the App Store app?

    Hi rowiny,
    depending on what exactly you mean with "clear", it is a bug. See this thread: App Store Updates Do Not Clear
    If you update your App's via iTunes, and not "over the air", the badge count on the AppStore-app icon is wrong, and the list shows "available updates" that you can open in the new version. The listing under "Updated #date#" lists only updates that were done OTA in the last month.

    Can you find it using the Spotlight search on the iPod? Maybe you just can't find it.
    Also try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
    Delete ALL your email accounts.
    Restart Playbook
    Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON.  Manual (push off) will burn battery.
    Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required. 
    Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi. 
    Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

  • My iPad will not connect to the update section under the app store?

    My iPad will not connect to the update section under the app store I've tried everything what do I do?

    Can you download new apps? If you can, go to the App Store featured tab and do a search for one of the apps that tells you it needs an update. When the app appears in the search, tap on the app icon and the description window for the app will pop up. Try updating the app from there and see if that works.
    Have you tried rebooting your router? Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again?
    Look at this article and see the section about the DNS settings on the iPad.

  • Update section of the App Store saved a wrong Apple ID

    Hi all,
    The update section of the App Store saved a wrong Apple ID, and i can't update any of my apps...
    It is so weird because when I buy an app, the app store has saved my actual apple ID, but for updating apps it saved a wrong one, and it's impossible to change (even when I log out and log back in with my real apple ID)..
    thanks for the help
    eric

    I'm having the same issue of trying to update existing applications on my iPhone (a different Apple ID than my own keeps popping up). I logged out of the App Store, then in again to ensure the Apple ID was my own. Still, in my attempts to update existing apps, a different Apple ID came up.
    Interestingly, if I purchase a brand new app, my own Apple ID comes up as usual, and there is no problem with the new purchase.
    Logging off the phone does not fix the issue. Restoring the phone also does not fix the issue. I have tried both.
    Also, I have never used a computer other than my own to sync my phone. I have had the same Apple ID and password since day one.
    No doubt it will be resolved in a future update. In the meantime, for those of us affected, there is an obvious delay in the ability to update existing applications, and all suggestions thus far for a "fix" do not actually fix the issue.
    Looking forward to the fix, but happy nothing else seems to be wrong (at least for the moment!)

  • My daughters Ipod Touch is stuck with a black/blue screen. She downloaded the game Breakaway from the App store yesterday and today she opened the game it said this game is not connected to game centers and the screen went black/blue reset didn't work

    She downloaded the game Breakaway from the App store yesterday and today when she opened the game it said "this game is not connected to game centers" and the screen went black/blue.  I tried resetting without the power adapter and with the power adapter and nothing happens.  She has only had the Itouch for 2 weeks.

    I did try that numerous times and nothing happened.  However, I did eventually get it to work.  After trying to reset it numerous times and the screen still just staying frozen I logged into the Home Share portion on the Home computer and deleted the Bubble Birds game.  Eventually the Itouch died and I was finally able to reset it by plugging it in and holding down the buttons.  I doubt the deletion of the game helped, but since it seemed to be the cause, I went ahead and deleted it.  Thank you for your reply.

  • I bought OS X Mountain Lion a few days ago from the App Store but it will not download. In the purchased section of the App Store it says 'an error has occurred' in red letters next to the download button. I have been charged for it but not downloaded it?

    If i click on the download button in the purhased section nothing happens. if i go into the App store and click download on Mountain Lion there it looks like it is starting to download and opens Lauchpad but it never moves off 'waiting'.
    Any help would be great.
    Thank you !

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Press Shift key on boot, delete Mountain Lion installer from Applications, open App Store > Purchases and download OS X. If it doesn't help > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact

  • Why can't I find NFL Game Pass in the App Store?

    I live in Hong Kong and just purchased a subscription to NFL Game Pass.  It says I need to download the app from the App Store in order to watch the games on my iPhone 4, but when I search the App store I can not find it.  I've searched for it several ways: "NFL Game Pass", "Game Pass" and just "NFL"
    Any ideas why this isn't working or how I can get the app?
    Thanks!

    It's not available in the Hong Kong iTunes store. 

  • I can't sign into game center and the app store?!

    Hi
    I have a mac book pro which is about 1year and 2months old and I recently purchased and dowloaded the new mac osx mountain lion using the app store. I followed every step and agreed to all the terms and conditions. However now i cannot access the app store and I cannot sign into game center.
    Firstly, when i open the app store it says 'cannot connect to the app store' but somehow it can tell me that there is an update available. I have never had the problem before.
    Secondly, with game center I can open it but when I type in my apple ID and click sign in nothing happens.
    Help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi, bamboo64. 
    Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Once this is done test the results.  If the issue persists, I have included a couple troubleshooting articles that I would recommend going through.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • Ipod game preview and the app store

    i started browsing itunes, in particular the ipod games. i noticed that there is a "preview" button for some that plays a little QT video of the game play. i'm wondering if there will (in the future since i didn't see an upload option for it currently in itunes connect) be support for this in the app store...

    Yeah, a QTime vid would be nice. They can link to our own website if they're worried about the bandwidth.

  • A game bought from the App Store crashed and I need to reinstall it, but I can't delete it from Launchpad

    I bought a game from the app store, and after playing for a while it crashed. Now it says it is damaged and I have to delete it and then re download it. When I go to the launchpad, there is no X to delete it. I paid $8 for this game and would like to play it..

    The X appears when you click and hold the icon and all the icons start jiggling.
    You can delete the app by dragging and dropping it from the Applications folder into the Trash.
