IOS 7 App Store is BROKEN!

Well, Stupid Me won out over Sensible Me and I downloaded. Received several notifications that I had apps which required updating, so I attempted to download. "Download failed". This is for ANYTHING downloaded from the App Store NOT just updates!
THE APP STORE IS BROKEN!
I'm also unable to autocorrect words typed in uppercase (for example, it will no longer correct 'CANT' to 'CAN'T' and, if you move the cursor back against the word, you don't even get the option - pop-up bubble - to change it. As you can't type in bold, I do use caps quite a bit for emphasis, so this is really rather irritating!).
The keyboard is also really rather unresponsive when compared to iOS 6 (especially in Safari and FB).
Maybe there are settings I'm overlooking for everything else - if so could someone point me in the right direction. I'm autistic and I get frustrated when I don't understand stuff!
But the App Store is most DEFINITELY broken! Can't download anything - not updates, not new apps, not mags, not papers - not ANYTHING!
Anyone else...?!

For the keyboard and autocorrect features, try resetting your iPod
Reset: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
I wonder if the App Store is just down because the servers are overloaded from everyone trying to download iOS 7. You might need to wait and try again later.
If it's still not working, you might want to try resetting your network settings.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Try these articles if the App Store still doesn't work:

IOS 7 App Store showing old updates / showing updates and not letting me install

I noticed two issues with the iOS 7 App Store starting last night. I'm not sure if it's a temporary issue, since the issue seems to be server-side on Apple's part, or if it's a long-term issue.
I am running iOS 7.0.2 on an iPhone 5s. I do not have automatic updates for apps turned on (I like checking what an app is updating before installing it). I have tried force quitting the App Store app and restarted my iPhone.
The first thing I noticed last night was that the App Store showed an update for Hulu Plus on my iPhone but wouldn't let me install it. On my iPad (3rd-gen) running iOS 7, it let me install it. This morning, it let me install it. After, I noticed another badge on my App Store app icon with a "1", and it said there was an update for 94 Seconds, but wouldn't let me install it either. Then when I expanded the details, I noticed the date on it was from July 30, 2013. I already had that update installed over 2 months ago. Screenshots for that issue are below.
Is anhyone else experiencing anything similar? Any solutions?

Thanks for the quick response.
I do indeed seem to recall that happening with an app previously.
However, this time it was two apps (Google and Tivo). I figured they'd get flushed out when more updates (for other apps) hit the App Store. However, when that happened just now, while it did show "update" for those old updates instead of "open", I could not select "update all" up top and had to press update next to each of the (now 4) apps. The real issue though is that it (of course) can't further update Google and Tivo and gets stuck. So I can't update any of my apps now.
When I went back into App Store I then got the blank screen that shows nothing under updates but the "Purchased" slider up top. I thus had to reboot. I can get back into the App Store, and got an error regarding the Tivo update not being available (this was a Jan 10 or so update that had already been installed), but there it still sits in the updates. Interestingly, Google did "update" and fall off the badge indicator. I selected only my true/new updates, so now I'm just stuck with a false Tivo update/badge.
I should add that I am on 7.0.4.
EDIT: Tivo "updated" after the reboot too. So, bottom line is that you're (I'm) stuck with the false updates until a real update comes through, and then I have to go through that song and dance to clear out the false flags.

Why My iPad 3 iOS 6 apps stores can't show the iPhone apps

Why My iPad 3 iOS 6 apps stores can't show the iPhone apps..

Devices connecting to the app store are detected and the appropriate apps are shown for the device...for example, a Mac OS X computer will only display the Mac App Store apps, an iPhone will only display the apps that will work on the iPhone, an iPad will only display the apps that will work on the iPad, and in this case there are apps that work on both the iPad and iPhone so those apps are displayed but not the iPhone-only apps.

App Store Search Broken

For some reason, when I try to search something in the app store, It comes up with a blank screen. I know that the apps are available, but they don't come up. I think it might be a problem with ios 6.

App store updates broken regarless of device or iOS version for days now?

Your Apple App store updates are just plain broken.(period)! It doesn't matter the device or the iOS release.
I have various devices, ipod Touch(s) several versions, iPhones, Ipads several versions and it makes no different which iOS or device; some are at 3.1, some are at 5.1 and some are at iOS6. All show app updates, NONE seem to get conected or work by staying connected.
I have done hard resets on all devices(more than once), and if you delete and APP you can NOT stay connected to re-download the APP; update times out right after it starts to update and then quits... It doesn't matter if it is a single update or Update ALL and it doesn't matter which APP.
you might can get one to update if you like try 20 times..... this has been going on for at least 4 days now. Apple PLEASE get this FIXED or provide a work around via support announcement / notes..... You can't download then either as it times out so this is costing you Apple money.
Thank you...

IOS 7 App Store review dates missing

I notice since updating to IOS 7 that the dates for reviews are no longer appearing in the App Store app. They still appear in the reviews in the iTunes Store app.
Is this supposed to be gone with the update? If so, it's a step backwards... funny how I've relied on something as simple as the date of someone's review when deciding whether to purchase an app or not.

I wrote this to itunes feedback after several mails written to apple. I got several mails back but they sounded more like a computer generated feedback. There is not ios app store thread in here so only ipad users read this post...very clever i think to not let customers unite.
"The review dates are missing in ios app store. It makes it much more difficult to find quality apps.
Harder to make out the fake reviews from honest ones, harder to see which update there is talk about etc.
With 95% of apps that are simply garbage and no 15 minute regret option like on google playstore you are making it very difficult to see through that garbage. (which i actually think is illegal in my country) i would like to know also why they are not there anymore? Also i can not choose ios 7 below in the option which ios im running..this makes me belive feedback is not a high priority in the apple money machine. And why is there no ios app store thread in apple forum? There is a mac app store forum thread.

No reviews in iOS 7 App Store.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I generally check reviews on new app versions before downloading updates. In iOS 7, you can no longer see current reviews from the updates screen in App Store. Is there any workaround for this?

You're certainly not the only one.
I've had to resort to checking what apps need updating in the update tab, then going to the purchased apps tab and accessing the reviews from there - a painfully slow process. However, I've been burnt too many times to ever update an app without first reading the reviews.
Hopefully reviews will reappear soon, or an update indictator will appear next to apps in the 'purchased' tab.

IOS 4- App Store and 3rd Party Apps don't load

So I didn't have any problems with upgrading to iOS 4. The problems started when I tried to play with my apps such as Facebook and other games. They seem to stay in loading and nothing happens. I have turned of my phone multiple times and nothing seems to work. The App store also stays in a loading stage and nothing appears.
Is anyone having similar problems or know of any solutions?

OK. Here's the solution that worked for me. See my prior post on 22 June for background info.
After loading new apps and deleting and reloading existing apps to my iPhone via iTunes on my computer, the iPhone still would not run 3rd party apps. So I decided to start from scratch.
PROCEDURE:
1) Back up the iPhone.
2) Click the restore button to take the iPhone back bare bones iOS 4 operation. It is not necessary to download iOS 4 again. Do NOT restore from back-up as control of the process to the greatest extent possible is the goal.
3) Once the restore is complete, allow iTunes to configure the iPhone from the back-up.
4) Check some or all 3rd party apps to verify function.
5) Power down iPhone and restart it. Check some or all 3rd party apps to verify function again.
6)Load music and video (I manage mine manually)
This worked for me. Hope it works for you too.
I am most certainly not an expert. I just decided to try an approach I thought the Apple Genius's might suggest.
Good luck!

When is the ios B2B app store coming to Europe?

When will the B2B "app store" and Volume Purchase Program be available in Europe for ios apps?

Likely sometime after Apple announces it's availability.
As this is a user to user technical forum, no one here would have any way of knowing nor is speculation about future releases or Apple's business plans allowed.

How do we turn off list of updated apps in iOS 7 App Store?

In previous version of iOS, after you updated apps in the App Store, the Updates tab in the App Store would go blank until there were more updates. But now, the Updates tab shows a list of apps that were updated and it sorts by date. Anytime I go in there, it makes it look like there are a bunch of updates to install. Is there a way to turn this off so that it only shows apps that need updating, not the apps that have been updated already?

I guess I've personally never needed to know when I updated an app or to have a list of apps I've updated. Wouldn't this be a problem in the future when you have years of updates to scroll through? It just seems like that would unnecessarily increase the load time of the Updates tab. It would still be nice to have an option to turn that off or at least make it a collapsible menu item or something.
I could see where it might come in handy if you have the automatic app updates turned on, but I have that turned off since I like to see what changes an app is making before I install it, so I don't need that turned on since I manually update my apps.

Ios 8 app store updates badge icon not resetting

my iphone 6 is showing on the app store badge icon there are 7 updates available. Opening the app and going to updates, they all appear as OPEN.
I cannot get rid of the icon without resorting to disabling it via notifications under settings.
I updated to ios 8.02 and it still appears. Also tried the trick of tapping a TAB 10 times to refresh the app but the update count reappears soon after.
Have tried to discover any other solution but none available. Dont know if this has been reported to Apple as a bug.

Hello … firstly I am not technology minded & don't know the jargon … just gone from iPhone 3 to 6 !!
Solved this problem by: Settings icon, choose iTunes & App Store turn off all selections for automatic updates
Turn phone off & on.
Then reactivated the automatic update selections.
Problem was solved.
Hope I explained process clearly enough.

IOS 7 App Store question

Previously when you went to the app store and selected updates it would list the apps that had available updates, once you installed the update that app would disappear from the list. With IOS 7 evry app I have updated remains in that list, is there any way to remove them from the list after updating them?

This is by-design now. They are sorted by the date they're updated. Presumably the change is due to the automatic update feature now so you can see when something was downloaded and updated in the background.

IOS 7 App Store Update Query

During the Apple iOS 7 unveiling of WWDC, it was said that the App Store application on the iOS 7 would no longer need to be updated manually and would automatically update installed applications, finally removing the annoying red dot notifiying you to update an application. How ever, they did not say whether there would be a settings option so you could configure the App Store to only download and update for an application while connected to a Wi-Fi network, rather than wasting Celluar Data from a Service Provider. Would anyone happen to know the answer to this? I for one only pay for 2GB of Data from my service provider since I usually am connected to a Wi-Fi network instead but it would be helpful to know if this change is going to start drawing automatically on my Celluar Data.
Thanks for any help/answers!
Ross

Anyone who would know exactly how iOS 7 is going to work would not be able to talk about it here.
However, given the behaviour of current and past versions of iOS, it is extremely unlikely that Apple would allow automatic app updates to consume cellular bandwidth without the user's consent.

IOS 7 App Store Updates/Badge Issue

My app store has a notification badge that says I have updates, but when I open the app store and click "updates," it quickly shows me the apps, and then, one second later, the screen says that all of my apps are up to date. Is anyone else having this problem?

Resurrecting old thread, but I'm having the same problem on multiple devices.
More specifically, I am updating apps via cable sync from desktop Itunes. The apps are updated on the devices via the cable sync, but the counter stays there. As noted in the original post, when I open app store app on device, the apps needing update will first show Update next to them, then quickly change to Open, but the counter remains.
Iphone 6, iOS 8.1.2
Ipad 2 iOS 8.1.2
Iphone 5 iOS 8.1.2
I called Apple service (my iPhone 6 is still under warranty), they had no clue what was happening. All they did was told me to call them back another day and gave me a case ID.
I have rebooted devices and restored them both as new and from backup. When the restore is done, the counter goes away, but then when a new app needs updating, it happens again.
Anyobody having this issue recently and fixed it? It's very annoying.
