App store is amazing in iOS 7

I find it brilliant but odd that the App Store is the fastest part of iOS7 beta.

It is very odd.

I'm guessing they made it native again? In iOS6 it basically became a web browser which made it terribly slow and inefficient.

hmm...good question. It certainly feels like it.

And yet that is exactly what they did in iOS 6.

Weird because I had no problems with the App Store in iOS 6.

Have you used iOS 7?

Yep. I've been running it since WWDC. Why do you ask?

You don't notice a speed difference when scrolling?

I actually get some scrolling lag in some spots of the App Store, but I expect it to be ironed out.

Its just amazing how fluid and easy it is to use in iOS 7. I always hated how my purchased app screen was choppy. That is totally gone in iOS 7.

So can Near Me be turned on or off?

You have to have the box ticked in location for it to work.

My only gripe about the the app store under iOS 7 is that the weird UI glitch that first happened with the iPhone 5 (where pixels would flash in the keyboard) happens sometimes under iOS 7 on the iPod Touch. I need to file a bug report about it, but I think it is interesting that an old bug is resurfacing.

Background app update, probably the best feature!

AppStore is much better in iOS 7, but it still has that 3 and a half icon thing. Hate that.

I don't like that hidden purchases aren't being hidden. Now I have to sort through a ton of really junk apps in my purchased list.

Not sure why this needed it's own thread...

Could've posted this in the sticky at the top of the forum.

Not sure why this needed its own post. Could have posted this in any of the numerous complaint posts about too many individual threads.

I agree that it seems to have gone back native rather than HTML based, and benefits for it greatly.

Also glad Genius is dead, given it was as slow as hell and as dumb as a bag of hammers ("I see you have a Twitter app! Would you like another, crappier Twitter app?"). I don't think "near me" is any better though - I'd much rather have some kind of social feed of my friends recommendations. For instance, I'd love to flag to my Facebook friends "I really like Hero Academy, give it a go and we could play."

It's a really shame they've not fixed searching though. That card based interface. Just kill it with fire.

Loving the new appstore. Loving the white. This OS is so slick, i don't care what anyone says.
