This page seems to be pure Apple propaganda. There are important questions raise in Gizmodo and other tecc blogs about how Apple is managing third party software. The flavor of it being that software may not be like pop songs because of the long development cycle for quality applications. The invasion of low-quality free or "almost free" software could deter serious software development. It seemslike all rankings are based on instant downloads. This is an important aspect it seems that needs to be brought forward in this article. HuskyMoon ( talk) 00:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

According to the Apple App Store in the United States of America, the Associated Press (AP) is not called "News", but "Mobile News Network". The column title is also has the word type, so before I changed the name, I wanted to make sure type did not over-rule the actual name of the AP's application for iPhone/iPod Touch.

Out of curiosity, if anyone got baby shaker before it was removed, would they be allowed to share it with others? I'm not trying to obtain it because I don't approve of baby shaking (at least in Halo, you're killing people who can defend themselves) and I don't think I would find someone who has it anyways. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.237.222.73 ( talk) 22:26, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone have sources indicating that "App Store" is also being used as a generic term, referring to Android Market, Nokia's Ovi, Palm's app store (whatever it's called) etc? It seems sensible to me, I'm definitely already using the term that way, but are there any more notable sources. ;) If so maybe there should be some mention of it in the article (cf. recently reverted edits). -- Anderssl ( talk) 06:17, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
OK, somebody asked on Wikipedia:Third opinion, so here I am. I normally avoid editing articles for which I'm offering a third opinion in a dispute, but the solution seemed so obvious here that I couldn't resist.
I have rephrased the contentious sentence to remove the weasel word and state the simple fact that the term "app store" has appeared as a generic term. The reference supporting that statement appear to be adequate. I am not convinced that the sources suggest the term has become a generic term in a universal sense; they only indicate that the term has been used as a generic term, so that's all we should say about it. That seems to be a reasonable compromise between claiming it is now a generic term, and deleting the sentence altogether. That's my opinion. ~ Amatulić ( talk) 00:20, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
I like this table that someone put in, with info to compare the different app stores! I took the liberty of adding some more info. But I also think a couple of the columns could be cut. The 'status' one - aren't they pretty much all 'Live' now? And the developer's fees, and links to the developer web sites - that sounds a little like information for specially interested (like me, incidentally) - maybe not so interesting for the general public (could be put in the articles for the different stores though, so it's available for those who are specially interested).

Although Ovi Store was released after the App Store, Nokia S40 and S60 phones had a "Download!" application, which predates the App Store and indeed the iPhone.
So far I've heard that apps made with the Adobe Flash cross-compiler or Monotouch are prohibited, as well as apps with the word " Android" in their description. Should these also be mentioned in the article? 174.55.189.19 ( talk) 09:47, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be renamed App Store (iOS), as it's too generic a term for just one companies product? Hence Microsoft in court against Apple's pending trade mark application, and thus likelihood in the near future other providers will label their own "App Stores" themselves, Jimthing ( talk) 07:41, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
For the section of approval of applications, there is many sections of it separated so I thought of putting all of it in a separate page.

This entire page should not be geared towards Apple in the way that it is. Apple do NOT own the trademark to the word 'app store', therefore the page should not be phrased in a way that solely promotes Apple. Why isn't the page written about Windows Phone app store? 81.138.1.249 ( talk) 15:23, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Our article iPad links to an anchor " #censorship" on this article, but this subsection does not exist. I distinctly remember that there was a discussion about "censorship", in particular in relation to a German magazine (perhaps Der Spiegel?) which had to cover up some breasts to be allowed to sell its app in the App Store.

While the GPL notice has been smoother back in it's worth noting that it's possible to release code otherwise released as GPL for both stores. You can't distribute GPL software through either of the stores but this doesn't apply if you're the copyright holder of the work itself. The GPL allows (mainly because it's your inalienable right under copyright law) to have multiple licenses. This means you can release your binary in the store under the Apple License and your source code under the GPL and you'd be perfectly able to release the app but nobody else would (as they'd have to work with GPL code, which doesn't allow it). Others would be able to compile and release your app, but not through the store. The current mention is somewhat vague and while not as blatantly incorrect as the one in the Mac App Store, is still misleading. eduo ( talk) 16:29, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
The small screen on the right claims "725,700+ apps (as of February 2012)" and the table in 3.2 says "Date: February 28, 2012; Availanle apps: 500,000+". Yeah, 725k is more than 500, but should these be consistent? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.232.61.60 ( talk) 05:17, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
The article needs to mention that as of late September 2012 and the release of iOS 6, the minimum iOS version for new and updated apps has raised from 3.0 to 4.3. This is a problem for people who have newly acquired an old ARMv6 device - iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPod touch (1st generation) or iPod touch (2nd generation), unless they jailbreak their device and install illegal pirated copies of older versions of the same apps that have since dropped compatibility with their device. -- 81.129.18.164 ( talk) 20:56, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
If you have a look at Package management system or at Template:Package_management_systems questions about the technical background pop up. How is the Packaging format defined? What security measures does the Package management system implement? E.g. Are the packages signed? I think some technical specifications would be much more interesting and more suitable to the Wikipedia than the sales numbers.

As of this writing, there is three screenshots of the App Store on the page. One is at the top that shows the App Store on the 5c, while there are two at the bottom showing the App Store on the iPod touch and iPad. Three screenshots of the same subject matter is just unnecessary. While the iPad screenshot may be relevant, the iPod touch screenshot is definitely unneeded and should be removed. StewdioMACK ( talk) 14:16, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
A Criticism section is a wider section, where the " Controversial apps" and " Implementation and limitations in countries" can be subsections.
If there are another criticism, like the #GPL Controversy, and they are well founded, we can add also at criticism section. Some other examples (please check if there are a reliable source about): "the blocking of bitcoin wallet apps" and blocking of Tawkon, as commented here.

The result of the move request was: withdrawn per the discussion below: clearly no general consensus to move, so I will redirect App Store to App store, which has a hatnote for this article already. Dekimasu よ! 05:12, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
App Store (iOS) →
App Store – The plain title
App Store redirects to the title with a disambiguator. Under the less controversial parts of
WP:PLURALPT, as the primary topic for the capitalized title this article should be moved to
App Store with a hatnote in place for
App store. Alternatively, if this article is not the primary topic of "App Store,"
App Store should be redirected to
App store.

Regarding the factual accuracy of this edit: Was the actual rating removed from the store, or only the warning message ("Whenever an app of this rating is requested for download, a message will appear")? I don't remember ever getting the warning message, but I haven't looked at any 17+ apps in the last couple months or so. -- SoledadKabocha ( talk) 18:38, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi to both @ KamranMackey: and @ Codename Lisa: Let's have a proper discussion here. I was about to change all mentions of "the" App Store into just App Store following the discussion on Codename Lisa's talk page, but when I searched my web browser for "the App Store", I discovered that a large number of sources also use "the App Store". I apologize to Lisa that I am starting this discussion again, but are you sure about what you wrote on your talk page? Both secondary sources and Apple's press releases refer to it as "the App Store"... I am back on the unsure-button again, and would like to reach a common understanding through a civil discussion. LocalNet ( talk) 19:57, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
You are literally calling the company who invented the App Store incorrect". And I am proud of it too! I did that to Microsoft and Adobe already. Apple is a company that produces useful products and charges hefty sums for them. That's how I see Apple. It is neither a god nor an authority on grammar.
If you guys don't believe me [...]". Oh, I believe you. I just don't care.
I just don't care." comment, which was perceived by me as a direct offense against not caring about Kamran's opinion. If that is a misunderstanding, then it's good to have that explained, but just be careful in the future, because context can be misleading :) LocalNet ( talk) 08:38, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
Hello everybody! It's been a while since this discussion took place. I'm not sure any of you care about it anymore, but I'm back because I do. Originally I decided it was okay to drop "the", but due to it sounding wrong, I have gradually done research over the past weeks since this discussion. I'm here with evidence and examples of why "the" is correct! Hear me out:
All of these end with a normal word that would require "the" in a natural sentence, and it should be kept even if it is a proper noun. "The App Store" because "store" is a regular word, and you wouldn't say "let's go to store". Follows the exact naming conventions of established global language and even accepted Wikipedia policy. I rest my case, hahaha. No really, I want to keep this friendly, but it really has bothered me, which is why I came back with all of this argumentation. :P If I get any response, cool! If I don't, I will edit "the" into the article and keep using it. LocalNet ( talk) 14:50, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
1. An SVG logo
2. New screenshot of iOS 11, not any beta version. If not changed, at least make it smaller to not look blurry.
3.
Template:For text change to {{for|the app store of macOS|Mac App Store.}}
or {{for|the macOS version of the App Store|Mac App Store.}}
.
4. Many places in the text is written like iOS 11 will be released, but at this point it's already released.
Where it says so (at the point of writing this is):
App Store (iOS) (introduction text, third paragraph),
App Store (iOS)#History (last paragraph),
App Store (iOS)#App approval process (last paragraph),
App Store (iOS)#Large-scale app removals (last paragraph).
Also, instead of saying "late 2017" for example, say the actual release date of
iOS 11: September 19, 2017 (most countries) and September 20, 2017 (some countries) (see sources of
iOS 11).

I believe it would be a good time to mention the release of the App Store on the Mac. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.110.98.245 ( talk) 16:02, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be renamed App Store (iOS), as it's too generic a term for just one companies product? Hence Microsoft in court against Apple's pending trade mark application, and thus likelihood in the near future other providers will label their own "App Stores" themselves, Jimthing ( talk) 07:41, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
For the section of approval of applications, there is many sections of it separated so I thought of putting all of it in a separate page.

This entire page should not be geared towards Apple in the way that it is. Apple do NOT own the trademark to the word 'app store', therefore the page should not be phrased in a way that solely promotes Apple. Why isn't the page written about Windows Phone app store? 81.138.1.249 ( talk) 15:23, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Our article iPad links to an anchor " #censorship" on this article, but this subsection does not exist. I distinctly remember that there was a discussion about "censorship", in particular in relation to a German magazine (perhaps Der Spiegel?) which had to cover up some breasts to be allowed to sell its app in the App Store.

While the GPL notice has been smoother back in it's worth noting that it's possible to release code otherwise released as GPL for both stores. You can't distribute GPL software through either of the stores but this doesn't apply if you're the copyright holder of the work itself. The GPL allows (mainly because it's your inalienable right under copyright law) to have multiple licenses. This means you can release your binary in the store under the Apple License and your source code under the GPL and you'd be perfectly able to release the app but nobody else would (as they'd have to work with GPL code, which doesn't allow it). Others would be able to compile and release your app, but not through the store. The current mention is somewhat vague and while not as blatantly incorrect as the one in the Mac App Store, is still misleading. eduo ( talk) 16:29, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
The small screen on the right claims "725,700+ apps (as of February 2012)" and the table in 3.2 says "Date: February 28, 2012; Availanle apps: 500,000+". Yeah, 725k is more than 500, but should these be consistent? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.232.61.60 ( talk) 05:17, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
The article needs to mention that as of late September 2012 and the release of iOS 6, the minimum iOS version for new and updated apps has raised from 3.0 to 4.3. This is a problem for people who have newly acquired an old ARMv6 device - iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPod touch (1st generation) or iPod touch (2nd generation), unless they jailbreak their device and install illegal pirated copies of older versions of the same apps that have since dropped compatibility with their device. -- 81.129.18.164 ( talk) 20:56, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
If you have a look at Package management system or at Template:Package_management_systems questions about the technical background pop up. How is the Packaging format defined? What security measures does the Package management system implement? E.g. Are the packages signed? I think some technical specifications would be much more interesting and more suitable to the Wikipedia than the sales numbers.

As of this writing, there is three screenshots of the App Store on the page. One is at the top that shows the App Store on the 5c, while there are two at the bottom showing the App Store on the iPod touch and iPad. Three screenshots of the same subject matter is just unnecessary. While the iPad screenshot may be relevant, the iPod touch screenshot is definitely unneeded and should be removed.

A Criticism section is a wider section, where the " Controversial apps" and " Implementation and limitations in countries" can be subsections.
If there are another criticism, like the #GPL Controversy, and they are well founded, we can add also at criticism section. Some other examples (please check if there are a reliable source about): "the blocking of bitcoin wallet apps" and blocking of Tawkon, as commented here.

The result of the move request was: withdrawn per the discussion below: clearly no general consensus to move, so I will redirect App Store to App store, which has a hatnote for this article already. Dekimasu よ! 05:12, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
App Store (iOS) →
App Store – The plain title
App Store redirects to the title with a disambiguator. Under the less controversial parts of
WP:PLURALPT, as the primary topic for the capitalized title this article should be moved to
App Store with a hatnote in place for
App store. Alternatively, if this article is not the primary topic of "App Store,"
App Store should be redirected to
App store.

*Neutral per

Regarding the factual accuracy of this edit: Was the actual rating removed from the store, or only the warning message ("Whenever an app of this rating is requested for download, a message will appear")? I don't remember ever getting the warning message, but I haven't looked at any 17+ apps in the last couple months or so. -- SoledadKabocha ( talk) 18:38, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi to both @ KamranMackey: and @ Codename Lisa: Let's have a proper discussion here. I was about to change all mentions of "the" App Store into just App Store following the discussion on Codename Lisa's talk page, but when I searched my web browser for "the App Store", I discovered that a large number of sources also use "the App Store". I apologize to Lisa that I am starting this discussion again, but are you sure about what you wrote on your talk page? Both secondary sources and Apple's press releases refer to it as "the App Store"... I am back on the unsure-button again, and would like to reach a common understanding through a civil discussion. LocalNet ( talk) 19:57, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
You are literally calling the company who invented the App Store incorrect". And I am proud of it too! I did that to Microsoft and Adobe already. Apple is a company that produces useful products and charges hefty sums for them. That's how I see Apple. It is neither a god nor an authority on grammar.
If you guys don't believe me [...]". Oh, I believe you. I just don't care.
I just don't care." comment, which was perceived by me as a direct offense against not caring about Kamran's opinion. If that is a misunderstanding, then it's good to have that explained, but just be careful in the future, because context can be misleading :) LocalNet ( talk) 08:38, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
Hello everybody! It's been a while since this discussion took place. I'm not sure any of you care about it anymore, but I'm back because I do. Originally I decided it was okay to drop "the", but due to it sounding wrong, I have gradually done research over the past weeks since this discussion. I'm here with evidence and examples of why "the" is correct! Hear me out:
All of these end with a normal word that would require "the" in a natural sentence, and it should be kept even if it is a proper noun. "The App Store" because "store" is a regular word, and you wouldn't say "let's go to store". Follows the exact naming conventions of established global language and even accepted Wikipedia policy. I rest my case, hahaha. No really, I want to keep this friendly, but it really has bothered me, which is why I came back with all of this argumentation. :P If I get any response, cool! If I don't, I will edit "the" into the article and keep using it. LocalNet ( talk) 14:50, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
1. An SVG logo
2. New screenshot of iOS 11, not any beta version. If not changed, at least make it smaller to not look blurry.
3.
Template:For text change to {{for|the app store of macOS|Mac App Store.}}
or {{for|the macOS version of the App Store|Mac App Store.}}
.
4. Many places in the text is written like iOS 11 will be released, but at this point it's already released.
Where it says so (at the point of writing this is):
App Store (iOS) (introduction text, third paragraph),
App Store (iOS)#History (last paragraph),
App Store (iOS)#App approval process (last paragraph),
App Store (iOS)#Large-scale app removals (last paragraph).
Also, instead of saying "late 2017" for example, say the actual release date of
iOS 11: September 19, 2017 (most countries) and September 20, 2017 (some countries) (see sources of
iOS 11).

Hi,
I found some of the pages are broken(404) which needs to edit.
I have a list of relevant content. So prefer to edit this page.
Kindly allow me to do this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Latamotvani ( talk • contribs) 11:52, 10 October 2017 (UTC) I plan to add an opinion other than apples about the app store.
