Apps on iOS 9 not updating

I had to shut my WiFi off on my iPad, then open the App Store, go to Updates, then the Update All button worked. I would then turn back on WiFi.
Guys, I'm thinking this might be an App Store issue, as I was updating fine yesterday, was on iOS 9.1 PB yestereday and was able to update, and I'm still on the same today, and now I'm getting the same thing. Nothing changed on my devices, and I'm seeing the same issue now.
Servers are probably overloaded due to so many apps submitting updates + iOS 9. Give it some time, the updates will work eventually.
I have the same thing. 10 apps to update. But they say update for only a second then OPEN. Badge stays at 10.
It seems Twitter might have updated but not sure.
User CD M reported that if you click update in that second before it changes to open it should work and they all stay on for update. I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
My method is working, but you have to force quit App Store if you didn't do it quick enough, then reapet. The first time you go to updates tab, there IS a button in the right upper corner "update all apps" but it's there for a millisecond, so you have to be QUICK. If you failed - force quit App Store and repeat. They will fix it, but if you NEED to update your stuff - try it
Here's something interesting. Works fine on my iPhone 6+. I'm updating apps right now. Just can't do it on my iPad Mini. Both running iOS 9.1 PB. Is everyone that's having trouble having it on an iPhone or iPad? Tried rebooting the iPad, tried to catch the 1 second Update All active button, nothing. But perfectly fine on my phone.
Problem started yesterday. I tried to install an app from app store- when I clicked the "GET" button it would start to download then pop back to GET...if I tried a dozen or so times it would finally download. I had this issue with multiple apps and multiple devices- it happened most of the day yesterday. Then today I had 15 apps that were in the "update" tab. I tried to "install all" and nothing happened. I then closed the app store and reopened it and then all the apps were still there in the update tab, but they all said "open" as if they were already updated (but they were not updated) and they remained in the "available updates" area. see attached. I finally was able to get them to download using the instructions I posted earlier.

I'm on 8.3 and am experiencing the same. It will probably be a glitch due to everyone bombarding Apple's servers to download iOS9.
It is working now for me now ; all the apps that were updated on iTunes and then synced are now showing they are updated.
I turned on airplane mode and then turned it off. After I did that, I was able to update my apps.
Not just on iOS9 it seems. I'm still running 8.4.1 and while my 'updates' tab shows there are 17 updates waiting (i update manually), when i go there all updates show a button that says 'open' instead of 'update'?
