Why is the "App Store" App so user-unfriendly?

I like to add several Apps at a time (I like to try out all the "free apps" in a section). Why is it that the "App Store" App will only allow you to click on one app then reverts back to the home page where you have to go back to the "App Store" app, wait for the app store to load again and then back to the last page you were on before you can select your next app?
It would be much simpler to allow a list of apps to be "qued up" and then download when you close out of the app. It requires like 20 clicks back and forth to download 3 or 4 apps when you should be able to just stay in the app till you are done.

Since you keep posting that link maybe you can tell me why under the "Operating System" dropdown on that page, there is no option for "Windows or PC"?
Since I don't work for Apple, I have no idea. My guess is that some low-paid employee maintains those and many other web pages and they just haven't gotten around to, or been told to, add more options. For a suggestion about an app or other feature on the iPad, though, which option you select for the OS on the computer really doesn't matter.

  • Why is the app store requesting billing info for a "Free" app? The app is Pinger desktop

    I tried to download Pinger Desktop from the App Store, which is listed as FREE. Why is the App Store asking for my billing information for a free app?

    If you have a None payment option, choose that.

  • Why is the app store so SLOW?

    Whenever I bring up the App Store application, it takes ages to load.  I just closed App Store and started it again, and it took a full TWO MINUTES for "featured" items to come up. Whenever I try to download something, it takes way longer than any other major download site I use.
    I live in Japan, use the Japan App Store, and am on a 30mbs connection.  So why does the App Store take so long to load and download?

    Has it always been like that?

  • HT2589 Why did the App store make me purchase Pages again?  I already bought Pages, Keynote and Numbers for my Ipad and I want to download them on my Mac Book Pro and they aren't in the purchases tab.

    Why did the app store make me purchase Pages again?  I already bought Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my Ipad and want to download them onto my Mac Book and they aren't in the purchases tab.  I thought I would try clicking on the buy button for Pages, thinking, it would say I already purchased this app, but it didn't.  Where are all my purchases?  I used the same Apple ID I use for all my Apple devices.  Help!  I really don't want to buy them all again.

    The version of Pages, Keynote and Numbers for the Mac will be different than the iOS version and will require a separate purchase.

  • Why is the app store selling Photoshop Elements 10

    Hello
    I don't understand why, at the Apple Store, they are selling Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and if you search on Photoshop Elements 11,  it produces no result.
    The download available at Adobe is 11, not 10 and the US Apple Store also has 11.
    It can be bought from Adobe, but what is the reason for Apple not selling and which would be the better buy, 10 or 11?
    Can anyone provide an answer, please?

    The version at the App store is different so as to comply with apple rules.
    It also takes a while to get it through the system.
    With the apple store version there are usually no upgrade options you must purchase the next version again.
    With adobe you can usually get an upgrade price.   (do you save money????)
    Whatever the two versions are not the same. 
    cheers Elo

  • Why is the app store downloading a complete OS x Lion to my 10.7.3 late 2011 MBA?

    My Macbook Air 10.7.3 seems to be operating well.  Why is the App store completely updating my os? (4.04GB download)

    If you have a copy of an older installer left on your system, it's updating the installer to 10.7.3.

    Why does the app store always crash when I go to use the app genius on my ipod touch, it does it everytime. It even does it ocasionaly when I search for apps. Whats going on Apple. 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.

    The most usual explanation would be that you need to update or you have to many things taking up your memory

  • Why is the app store asking me to sign in to update apps when I'm already signed in?

    Why is the app store asking me to sign in to update apps when I'm already signed in?

    Because you bought them under a different Apple ID.

  • Why is the Apple Store app only available to US residents only?

    I live in Canada, why is the Apple Store app only available to US residents only?

    Because this is what Apple decided to do.
    We have no way of knowing why Apple makes the decisions that they do and speculating is a violation of the terms of use of this forum.

  • 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!

    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.

  • 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.

  • HT5622 Why is the App Store declining my active Visa card when trying to download a fee app?

    Why dose the App Store keep declining my Visa card when trying to download free apps? The card information is accurate and there is money on it? It's driving me crazy!!!

    Is your card still in date? Is the info Apple have valid?
    i.e. have you made a purchase recently on the app store that was all OK?
    I tried to download an app on my phone the other day using credit that was already applied to my account from a voucher. It asked me to update my card details (which I didn't have on me) which was frustrating as I wasn't even paying by those means!
    In the end I went home and downloaded it from my computer and it was all OK. If you have itunes on your comp, try downloading through that and see if you have any joy that way.

  • Why is the app not available for my device?

    I've no problem using BT wifi on my device (Nook BNTV400) so why is the app not available for that device? It's not like the nook is proprietory, everything else I've tried to find in the play store works fine.
    Is the apk available for download direct from bt?

    if you can connect to btwifi without the app then I wouldn't bother trying to find the apk file
    if you have an android smartphone then you can download the app and get the apk file to sideload on to your nook
