[iPad] Have any other iPad 3 owners noticed how slow the App Store is lately?

Jacoblee23 · Nov 11, 2012, 07:54 PM

It never used to be like this. My iphone 5 loads it up quickly, and my mini loads it up fairly fast as well. Is this something to do with ios6?

My iPod touch 4 also loads it slow

Well the ipad 4 loads it much faster than my ipad 3 so I must conclude that the application must be CPU bound somehow.

But this didn't used to be an issue.

Actually, for me the experience has been exactly opposite. From the first day I updated my iPad (3) to iOS 6, the App Store has been sluggish as hell - up until a few days ago, that is. Maybe Apple has optimized it on their end.

Slow here as well...

I miss the old AppStore

yup, slow on my iPad 3 and iphone 4

It's really slow regardless of what device you use. I have a Macbook pro, iphone 4s, ipad4 and Mac mini. They are all slow. Must be a site specific problem.

Probably the apple store is optimize for the ipad 4

It's an improvement on the ipad 4 compared to the ipad 3, but its still sluggish.

Takes aaaages to load all the icons in top charts.

My iPhone 4 app store is considerably faster.
