Subcategories in appStore?

Have been on appStore for a while now and everyday there is more apps added. In our category there are about 300 apps listed. As you can understand not being one of the first apps in that list is terrible to sales. Also as a user it's almost impossible to find what you want in the listings. My question is therefore, why doesn't apple create more subcategorys in appStore? What do you think of this?

Apple is so successful, and yet so myopic they can't realize when they screw up. OF course they ought to have a suggestion box system where we can all vote on what we want to see, and that would be at the top of the list for the App store. Absolutely moronic that they haven't yet added more categories; ever been to a library? or a bookstore? They have lots of subcategories, and this is DESPERATELY NEEDED. Apple is probably losing a million a day in sales from frustrated users who give up because the app store is just a big pile, kind of like filene's basement in boston after christmas!

  • Difference between Itunes and Appstore

    Does somebody could explain me the difference between Itunes store, Itunes U and Appstore? Is all the same?
    I also find less than intuitive the search engine inside these interfaces. No subcategories at all. Suposse that I want to look for a book, podcast or magazine about climbing. I enter in sports category, but then I find 2788 apps (for the ipad). How can i refine this search?.
    Many thanks

  • My iphone is connected to wireless but itunes and appstore doesnt work. Safari doesnt open websites?

    My WiFi is connected to my iphone 5s but if I will open the appstore,itunes etc they say 'cannot connect to app store'. And if I open Safari, there is no 'server'. I restart my iphone but nothing changes. Please help me. Thank You. (Excuse me for my bad English)

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPhone a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Do not reset your router. Next, reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

  • Is there a way to open the istore in the appstore instead of in music?

    In iTunes, when I click on the iTunes Store in the left panel, it takes me to the music store and I have to wait around while it loads, then click on AppStore at the top to go to the apps page. I rarely want to see the music page, so I'd like to just go directly to the AppStore. How can I do that?

    When viewing the apps you already have in iTunes there is a link in the bottom right of the window that says Get More Apps. It should take you directly to the App Store.

    Change the language of OS in preferences for any other, reboot your mac, open mac app store and updates would show up. Somehow worked for me and my friends Then you can go back to your orginal language.

  • Trying to update to 6.0.5 but it won't let me unless I use appstore and appstore only has later updates not compatible with my OS. Help?

    I recently recorded something on my friends laptop using his Garageband. But then I was trying to transfer it to my computer and it says I need to update to 6.0.5 to be able to open the file. However when I try and update it it gives me this message "The version of GarageBand installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available." So I went to App Store to update it but the only garageband related thing I could find there was the 10.0.2 update which was too big an update and wouldn't run with my OS anyway. How do I get the 6.0.5 update? Whould I delete Garageband and reinstall using the 6.0.5? Also my OS is 10.7.5 if that helps.

    Whould I delete Garageband and reinstall using the 6.0.5? Also my OS is 10.7.5 if that helps.
    That will not work. The GarageBand 6.0.5 updater from the Apple Support page is not a full installer. You will need an installer disk for GarageBand '11, for example the boxed iLife '11 disk to install a GarageBand '11 version, that can be updated with that 6.0.5 updater.
    So I went to App Store to update it but the only garageband related thing I could find there was the 10.0.2 update
    The AppStore should not be showing you the 10.0.2 udpdate, if your system is not compatible. Or have you upgraded to MacOS 10.9.2?

  • Lost the APPSTORE on MAC BOOK PRO 10.7.5

    I have updated, now running 10.7.5 and I have no APPSTORE. I know it 'can't be deleted' and I may have done something myself when I pulled the ghosted question mark off my dock that appeared where the APPSTORE used to be. I have searched using SPOTLIGHT, Looked in the Applications folder through finder, in the Applications folder on the dock. I still have Safari, which a lot of people seemed to have lost along with the Appstore.
    I think it's preventing me from having access to a promotional deal on a piece of software that is only being offered through the App store. When I click on the link to the Apstore that's being provided by this company through this page:
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/crazytalk7/id551903255?ls=1&mt=12utm_source=dj_ct 7mac&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=partnership&utm_term=MacTab1&utm_source=WhatC ountsEmail&utm_medium=DJ%20All%20Subscribers%20-%20Last%20Updated%2020080416%20- %20AutoSync&utm_campaign=20120926%20-%20Wednesday%20-%206AM%20Reallusion%20eblas t 
    It opens iTunes and tells me "Product not avaiable in the U.S." and the Safari page just goes blank saying it can't open with a url starting with "macappstore".
    There is no APP STORE in iTunes. When I click the menu under the APPLE in the left corner App Store is there and does nothing when I ckick it. Nothing opens, nothing tells me it's not working, nothing.
    If I search the App Store for this product all I get is songs with the app title in the names, no apps and not the one I'm looking for.
    I feel like I'm missing out on a really good deal on software I've lusted over for a long time.
    Where can get a new App Store App???

    Well that was pretty scarry. It took it's time, don't know when it finally finished but it re-installed and after two self starts it came back. Still no App Store anywhere and when I click on App Store in the Apple menu nothing happens.
    I did back up with the time machine and I may just go back to a time when I know I had it and see what happens then.
    This is enough for me, Thank you for your advice I do appreciate the effort.
    Don't know what's wrong - miss Steve more than that I thought I would. I sure hope  Apple isn't changing too much. Wife won't get a new computer because of the mess with FOXCONN, can't the richest company in the world do better then that?
    Thanks again.

  • Why is it not possible to install apple remote desktop (from appstore bought earlier) on my new imac 21?

    why is it not possible to install apple remote desktop (from appstore bought earlier) on my new imac 21?

    hello Dahveed, thanks for your reply, i solved it with the help of the migration assistant from another mac - now it works (but before as more info: for my new imac it was not possible to install apple remote desktop from appstore (the install-button not available, the same as installed already...) - and i don't know why...? - is it possible that the reason is the number of owned macs?)

  • HT204088 Why does AppStore crash when I try to return to Utilities category after viewing a second or third app (AppStore quits ,iPad (1.1) goesto home page with AppStore on it. 20+ of 32GB available, 28 apps installed, iOS 5.1.1 (says sw "up to date")

    My ipad(1.1) jumps out of Appstore after I've viewed 2or 3 apps, seems to be happening more often now. It returns to the page the Appstore icon is on. When I select Appstore again, it opens on the page of the last app downloaded, then I can return and browse Utilities category until next crash. It has 20+ GB available of 32GB, 28 apps installed, I don't use iTunes. I don't know what OS is installed, it's not cellular enabled. I haven't checked other categories and unsure if reducing open browser tabs affects the problem, possibly lets Appstore run longer before crashing. It always crashes when I attempt to return to the category. OSVersion is 5.1.1, Update Check says software is up to date. It has crashed if I scroll thru the pages of apps too fast.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CSeq "I/O error"
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.

  • My AppStore updates are not showing up at all. My updates page is blank. Please help

    My App Store has 3 updates. But when I open it up there aren't any updates. The page is completely blank and I can't do anything. The rest of the AppStore works perfectly though. My youtube app also is not working. I'm not sure if its connected in any way but it is not working.

    Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. According to Fly150in another discussion, this will work.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

    The older iPods don't run IOS 7, so when a developer goes to update the app for ios 7 you see that it needs to be updated, but you can't because you are running ios 6...
