Finally! No more reviews from random people who don't even own the app!

I'm so glad they added this.

This is very good news. When reading reviews you have to weed out the non-buyers and still try to remember the ratings of the rest to get a good feel for the App. This will be much better for the developer and buyer alike.

looks like they changed the way the "all iphone applications" page works now... which sucks..to see all the new apps i used to just look at it and it would show all the apps released today on top and theyd go in order that way now it seems kinda random. im going to not see alot of new apps because of this... they have a new apps page but even that doesnt work good it shows alot of apps that came out within the last week i want to see all the apps that came out today... this sucks

I noticed this today also. I am hoping it is just a glitch and will be corrected. It does stink big time. There is no true way to see the new apps.

Why won't the newest apps show if you select "new apps" and then sort by release date?

They always have until now. If you notice, they now start at the 15th and go down from there. Nothing newer than the 15th. This makes me think there is either a glitch in the system or data was somehow lost. It should be fixed soon I would think.

No...that is not what I notice. When I do the sort I described above the first apps I see are:

The Tag Show- Sept. 25
Kanji Flip- Sept 24
Wurdle- Sept. 23
Alli's Jigsaw Puzzle- Sept. 22
Flashgram- Sept. 22
Etc. etc...

What am I missing that you are referring to?

OK. I see what you mean. If you click on "all free apps" or "all iphone apps" it starts at the 15th and goes down from there. Nothing from the 15th up.

Coolstrategist · 09-27-2008, 10:16 PM

You are still confusing me. Do you see the dates for the apps I listed. Starts at 25th on down. Why do you keep saying 15th on down?
