I was going to post basically this exact thing.

Even basic filtering like "hide all apps that haven't been updated for iOS 8", or something along those lines would help with discoverability (and in this example, reward the developers who are stay on top of their updates).

There are a bunch of other filters that would be useful too.

There's also the issue of the filter's they do us now. The "Essential" apps on the Front Page of the App Store don't even seem that essential. Why is an app to teach kids to spell considered "Essential" for an Apple device?

Our iOS game has been featured a couple of times under "Best New Games" when it's been out for a year and was actually an update. Could be Best Games, Best New Games, and Best Updates to keep things more accurate.

Not going to gripe about any feature too much, but I wonder how many App Store visitors find that sort of thing annoying?

I looked in the list of "iPad Air 2" apps the other day, expecting to see a list of apps that I'd consider upgrading for, but half the list is already installed on my old iPad 2. Very strange.

I would expect old iPad apps to work on your new one. What were you expecting? Apps that only run on an iPad air 2?
