Why does iPad App Store have such a cruddy interface?

I really dislike shopping in the iPad store especially in the Top Charts section:
1. Show More button, why? This is dumb, swipe next page please!
2. 10 pages in and I look at an application, I go back to the list and I'm back at the top of the charts page.
This UI is so un-Apple I'm sick every time I use it. I usually google for apps then do a search because this application is so unfriendly.
Please Apple, get someone other than the intern to work on this UI! thanks.

They clearly rushed the ipad app store/itunes interfaces to get the ipad out the door, which is not surprising. That's what I'd do too.
What is surprising is that they haven't even tried fix it since they released the thing six months ago. This is how Apple gets its continuing revenue off of users who aren't buying any new hardware at the moment, not to mention, the more apps and music and stuff that people have bought on iTunes, the less likely they are to switch to a competing device. If I were Apple, I would have had someone working on the bad interface ASAP.

    Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer?
    I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

    It sounds like you've installed Mavericks.  You can confirm this by clicking on the Apple located at the top left of the screen and choosing "About This Mac" from the menu.  You should see a window appear with the text "Version 10.9.1" near the middle.
    If it says "Version 10.9.1", then you've installed Mavericks.  It still says "Download" in the App Store because you can still download the operating system after installing it.  This is useful if you want to download it for a friend, or create a USB boot drive.

Please look into this or tell me how to turn genius off if thats what is causing the crashes, I can't find how to turn it off in the settings.

  • Why does my app store say payment method decline

    why does my app store say payment method decline when i down load a free app

    Are you using a debit card?  I read somewhere that debit card are not being accepted by itunes.  Go to settings/itunes & app store, tap on the ID there then on view account, log in and check payment details to see if they are correct.

    Could be anything from a chargeback, or your card is junk depending on what it is. Using the word debit card isn't realy descriptive, and can many mean many, many different things.

  • TS1368 Why does the app store sometimes fail to connect?

    I often cannot connect to the app store with my new iPad, while I can at other times.  All the support suggestions suggest that my WiFi connection is the problem. However all the other apps that need the WiFi connection, such as Safari, email and Dropbox work all the time. This seems to indicate that my connection is OK. Why is the app store app unable to connect reliably?

    It will happen if you activate a new device in your iTunes account, such as a new iPod, or, from my experience, randomly. Apple stepped up security some months back to cut down on fraudulent purchases.

  • Why does the App Store update 10.6.8 apps to 10.7.4?

    I recently had Pages and iPhoto updates listed on the App Store for my computer running 10.6.8.  After updating both programs and launching them I received the message "You cant't use this version of the application Pages/iPhoto with this version of Mac OS X.  You have Mac OS X 10.6.8.  The application requires Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later. 
    I have a dual boot Mac Pro 2008 with Mountain Lion 10.8 on an ssd and Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my hard drive with all my data.
    Does the App Store even check to see if the OS you are running is supported?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    I think that you have confused the MAS with a dual boot system, so you may want to keep that in mind with future updates on your Snow Leo boot volume. The MAS can see apps on all partitions and connected drives. But as you can see from my screenshot, when it is a solo boot of Snow Leo, the MAS is not so easily fooled.

  • Why does the App Store say I have no space on my MacBook Air?

    I have 26.3GBs free on my new MacBook Air. I am trying to buy/download RAGE from the App Store (12.x)GBs and so I have more than enough space for it.
    Every time I try and buy it, it tells me I do not have enough disk space to purchase the application! What in the world is going on?
    Thanks

    Ds store is NOT correct. I don't have Java installed, and I never get those Java updates in the App Store. They will only show up if you have Java installed.
    However, you say you REMOVED Java. There's really no good way to remove all components of Java once installed, so you still have some parts of Java installed somewhere, and that's triggering the updates.
    Don't worry about removing Java, just disable it in any web browsers you use. See:

  • Why does the App Store open randomly when I'm using Safari?

    It simply opens the apps store to some game unprompted. It does it without me touching links. It happens without touching anything.
    And yes I have hard reset it and deleted cookies etc. I am not a fool.
    I have seen this question come up a lot and Apple have failed to acknowledge it. It's certainly common enough to be a known problem, so why are they ignoring it?

    This is happening because of bad ads on a site that you are visiting. These ads are designed to randomly redirect mobile device users to other sites or the App Store if the link is to an App. It has nothing to do with your iPad. The random nature of the re-directs is intended to confuse the user and keep this garbage below the radar.
    Turning OFF Javascript bypasses this problem because the mechanism implementing the redirects uses Javascript. This is not really a solution, however, because turning Off Javascript affects all sites and will certainly cause problems.
    Complain to the web site to get these ads removed. They may be unaware of the problem.
    There is no problem with your iPad.

  • Why does my app Documents have my photos in it?all of a sudden? I did not put them there! I'd like to delete them out of documents, but it will not let me, the app I mean? How am I delete the photos out of it?

    HHi, I'm new here, but just this morning, I opened the app documents to load some information for study purposes. I saw a folder called photo library. Opened and saw all my photos in it. I did not place them in it. The app functions do not permit me to delete them. I have struggled with this all morning, and find myself here. I also ask a few friends who upon checking found a similar thing on their. IPads also. What we want to know is.........Hiw can we delete the photos out of the app Documents?
    WHen we we got to lookin into it, we have found that we probably got this auto done with the new sharing feature and we will have to turn off photo share, which it says will delete all photos from iPad. Is this my only option?

    Well you could have trashed your Silverlight install in some way.
    That's what it looks like, but I'm not sure how, or how to fix it. I spent ages trying to get all the SL stuff installed, and had a lot of problems, mainly because of the issue with VS2010 SP1.
    Does your app rely on a certificate though?
    I wonder whether it's an issue with that.
    It does, although I'm not sure why that would cause this problem.
    Also, I get the same problem when running in VS, and if it were a certificate problem, I wouldn't expect that, as (I think) certificates aren't used when running in VS. Could be wrong on that, so if you know better, please correct me.
    You realise, by the way, that Google have sety npapi disabled by default this month?

    Ho hum, wonderful eh? Don't know what mine showed before, but I've got SL working in Chrome now, so it's academic (until September of course)
    Hope that helps.
    Sadly, I don't think it does. I still get this error, whether running in VS, or running the production app. I really need to work out how to fix my SL install without having to uninstall and reinstall all of it yet again. I think that's the crux of the problem.
    Thanks very much for the reply. Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why does my app store is not able to connect?

    Hy, I need help. I can't use my app store, when I try to open it a message appears and says "impossible to connect to app store" and it only gives the option to accept and automatically the app store will close. I don't know why this is happening because I do have WiFi network and I'm signed in from settings. I already tried closing the app store and opening it again. I also tried shutting down my iPad and signing out and in again of my account from setting and it doesn't work.
