Hello,
I agree with the points above, and would like to add another
issue. For my app, discovery is the main issue. A developer could
come up with a great app, but no one will ever see it. Only when it
is published, it is listed on the top of the "Just In" list. Half a
day later, it is gone way down on the list. There is a search
function, but that means the user must know what to search for in the
first place. There is a need for subcategories, below the 10 top level
ones, so people can browse, and see all the different types of
applications that are offered.
