iOS 11’s new App Store boosts downloads by 800% for featured apps

That’s probably because it is almost impossible to even find things that are not on one of their (pretty arbitrary) top-5 lists, or things that use their paid-for Search Ads.

Their search lacks even basic filtering, which would have been sad after 1 year of store development, much less over a decade.

I had to add my app’s own name to my limited-length list of search keywords because Apple’s default search wasn’t even finding it when searching by name. Pure trash, especially considering their 30% cut and overall bank.
