Does anyone like the new app store?

The absence of a "Back" button is way more serious for me, makes browsing the store almost impossible IMHO.

I HATE having no back button. I go to hit 'more reviews' and press Genius by mistake. Then there is no way to get back to where I was before. Argh!

After hitting "Install" to purchase/download an app, a warning dialog appeared saying something about improving security of my Apple ID - along with that came a suggestion to answer 3 questions. Think: "What was the name of your first pet?", "Where did your parents meet?"...
Now I understand and appreciate the security concern, but I had no choice but to run through this setup prior to continue to use the Appstore. So I made a screenshot of the questionaire, just in case sometime in the future I need to answer them on an Appstore login - you never know.

I have not seen this yet. Interesting.

Since you have set it up and posted this, have you had to answer the questions again?

No. Maybe these questions will need to be answered when asking a password reset? I mean, that would make sense, wouldn't it?

Oh I agree. I was just wondering if you had to sign back in, did you have to answer the questions again that is all.

Hate it. You can't browse apps by release date. Now it's hard to discover new apps.

I just noticed that when I do an update now, it is asking for my password, where this wasn't the case a day or two ago. Anybody else have this happen?

This is not perfect...I am not sure how can a company as big as Apple cant just make a store that works well and is well organized , especially when its a core thing for probably their biggest cash cows the iphone+ipad

None the less the current store is SOOOOO much better than the old one, looks wise and functionality wise . Its actually kind of enjoyable to browse

The new App Store only shows you the first 24 search results, even though there might be more results. That seems like a weird oversight.

easy to find the rating, and reviews, and screenshots ... somewhat difficult to find the basic app descriptions.

- just my 2 cents
