So yeah the long list view is easier when looking for an app than the horizontal view, but is there not a list view button to switch from the default horizontal list? I've yet to update to iOS 6, so I'm not certain.
Got a tip for us?

Apple Removes Chomp Website and App, Shuts Down Existing App Installs

*Shrug* I like using both. They each hold a distinct and useful purpose for me across all of my Apple devices.
But I know what you are saying, the takeover would mean no dropbox as it is today.
I pretty much have the same opinion. I prefer seeing the screenshots. I also like the general UI of the App Store. The only real problem is how it's one result per page but it's unavoidable without reverting back to what they had before for the search results. An option between list and screenshot however, as you mentioned, would be a great idea, as long as it's easily accessible (eg. button left of search bar - not in Settings).
Argh!!
Yeah, the look and function of this new platform really blows. Why change something that worked really well?! They should have just tweaked the old platform a little bit, maybe making it 3D or something.

dropbox works like a charm across the board.
if they add file modification (office docs) on iOS, I'd dare say it's one step behind of being the real rocknrolla in the cloud storage business
Because they're taking functionality away from Android users. While Apple can do this, it doesn't make outrageously much sense if the app was profitable on Android...
But who cares about letting companies make money. We have to take functionality away from the competition and force people to get our own phones, you know?
They can do it, and we can grumble about it...
Apple have become like the Borg.
They assimilate new technologies to add their distinctiveness and erase from existence all traces of the original culture.

Even that is broke. Searching for apps by name is broken. Try searching for "Bad Piggies" (number one in paid apps right now) and its the third one listed. Not a fan of the new search.
I do not like the new App store interface at all... It looks like it was made for Android... Big central, shiny icons... Let's make it even more colorful and less usable... Big, shiny, colorful... I know... Let's make it so that it even takes a bit longer to load... The kids will love that....
Haven't had that problem with Dropbox, but each persons experience is unique.
I absolutely don't like the new interface ... They should have an option to revert back and when 90 + % does they will know how big they messed up!
This new software...
Apples App store version of Chomp will help you "take a bite out of time..."
That's right, say it like McGruff would

This new interface sucks! not only is it hard for the customer to find what they are looking for but it is also horrible for developers.
Unless you happen to be the first app that shows up on a search sales are way down. Most people dont want to scroll through more than 2-3 apps if yours is past that you better be ready for a huge sales hit.
I wonder how long it will take for apple to admit they are wrong here. Within the dev community sales are down about 20-30% and this is even with a new device hitting the market sales should be going the other way...
Hopefully Apples revenues are also down 20-30% on app sales and they will give out this is not working and change things.
It would be nice to at least have an option of how things are displayed. its possible because if you are still on ios 5 apps are still listed.

The new interface wouldn't be so bad if it was FASTER. If we could scroll through search results as fast as an Album View, for example, it would be much better. But I absolutely can't stand how slow it goes, and having to flip through EACH AND EVERY SINGLE APP.
I too like the new design. It makes more sense to group certain promotions in their own horizontal bar. To the poster who said he/she liked all the items listed vertically, I found that incredibly tedious when you got to the bottom of a long vertical page and then trying to scroll back up to find items you had found interesting.
As for speed? I have not had any of these lag issues people keep speaking of, especially on LTE.
Love the Chomp version and hope Apple keeps it like this.
