Watch the video and you’ll see there is plenty of “utility” in this application…infinitely more than something like a beer simulator or a glowing ruby. [...]

The Paradox of Choice – Why More Is Less.

If you watched the video you will understund what is happening and what is going to happen. So I would like Apple to filter things and present me with only top or good products not some kind of 1second ideas.

I think the problem here is that App store is locked and apps like this has no a way way for distribution. If Apple would open the iPhone installation process this would work better. Junk apps developer can market themselves if they want to sell for $1000. That way we get good and let others to ply with ideas but they have to find other places to reach people who wants Misc apps for free or 1000.

What do you think?

Like they should start saying, nah, this app sucks, not going in. Or, huh, this apps ok, but developer, this price is all wrong, not going in.

Apple should stick to whatever technical quality control it’s doing, make sure the apps aren’t doing anything on the sly and leave it at that. Let the market determine whether or not an app is worth it or not.

I have had to restore my iPhone so many times I lost count. The iTunes and iPhone updates have NOT all helped quitting apps that many times lead to a bricked iPhone! Apple should be ashamed of the shoddy software release and the App Store sham!

With almost 1500 apps in the store I would be surprised if there was 150 that were actually any good. Looks like a money grab by Apple without regard to quality. I used to buy this other company’s products some years ago that worked in a similar way. They are loacted in Redmond, maybe you heard of them.
