#177: Something in Mind.

I will be at NSConference next week, if you are a listener of the show please make sure you find me and say hi. Continuing my series of Towards a Better App Store, trying to find practical suggestions for how we could improve the App Store. Today I’m going to focus on Search. Physical Design: Make the cards interface for search optional (if not eliminated). Ranking: Rewards or punish applications based on objective measures. For example, recently updated, crash frequency, refund requests, reviews, etc. Curation: While still algorithmically based periodically vet the most popular keywords to ensure good relevance. Power Search: Add the ability to filter and manage search results to more finely tune the results.
