Search plays a huge role in how users discover and download content on the App Store.

With millions apps currently available in the App Store, actually finding what you are looking for is a lot of harder than it should be.

Sure, it’s pretty easy to find those brand name apps, like Twitter or Instagram - but unless the one you want has made it to the top of the category, been featured or you know the exact name of what you’re looking for, things can get tricky.

With AppDiscovery Pro (

AppDiscovery Pro is an Apple App Store semantic search engine, that means AppDiscovery Pro improve search accuracy by understanding the searcher's intent and the contextual meaning of terms as they appear in the searchable dataspace.

I tried your app. I do like the concept of it but I was under the impression that these kind of ways to search in the AppStore weren't allowed anymore since e.g. the TouchArcade game app also wasn't updated since ages besides the costs of releasing a new app.

Could you please add filter such as 'paid' and or iPad only/iPhone only/universal. When I now search on a game term such as 'RTS paid' I still get a free app as well (that has in-app purchases). I hate the fact that on iPhone you can't really filter (or at least on iOS10 that still is) and on iPad you can only select 'free' or 'all' (or something) but not 'paid' in the main App Store on paid apps with a certain search term or category. I hope you can develop that in your app.
