I’m with you Kaiks. I’m disappointed in how my apple brethren are getting so insecure. Damn man, we’re supposed to the cool accepting ones…

The App store is too cluttered. Despite all of Apple’s strict (god damn draconian) guidelines on apps its loaded with junk. I’ve only had maybe 10 apps that are actually worth what I paid for them. I’m sure there are more, but I think the flood of **** has overcome the quality control.

Finding a killer app has become like finding a needle in a coal mine (yes I said that). App store search needs to be totally revamped, I only want to refine searches according to price, rating, price to rating ratio etc. Is that really too much to expect? Then it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack, you could burn the haystack, rake and rinse the remains a few times and that needle will appear eventually (I haven't tried that so feel free to call me out)

You're the troll, encouraging others to commit suicide is very juvenile.

No duh 95% are **** apps but if Apple didn’t let them in, every iPhone site would be crying over not letting the apps in. And bashing them.

Apple has done for the mobile world what Microsoft did for the (desktop) PC in the eighties. Not only the quantity of apps but also the level of democratisation given the low average price is the true revolution, 25 years later a new “de facto” standard is born but many fail to recognize it yet because they weren’t there at the time.

@icebike The biggest on trolls. Get in your car find a 100ft cliff and punch the gas. I’ve been in computers for over 20 years. I started this **** when you were in search of mommy’s nip.

I have an iPhone and I absolutely love it. My problem with this story is that they are touting that they have >100,000 apps in the app store. Now, go do a search for **** in the app store and tell me it is not about quantity. Can you honestly tell me that one would require more than a single app to make your phone replicate the sound of flatulence?

Most of these folks are Apple lovers...they just see legitimate problems with their device. How does that make them trolls?

Every device on the face of this Earth with a electrical charge has flaws. Get used to it. Nothing...and that means NOTHING is perfect by any means necessary.

Personally I think 95% of the apps in the App Store su*k. I love my iPhone but the Apps are horrible. Most of my Apps come from the jailbreak community since they are 100% better!

@Joe

ROFL so true. Jailbreaking turns a "phone a preschooler can use" into a device worthy of all the power built into it.

I was afraid to jailbreak until I jumped in with both feet and I'll never look back
