Is it me... iPad app store is frustrating

[ozone]

Yes, the App Store in general is one of the hardest directories (it's hardly even a proper directory) to browse.

I don't understand why it can't be like the iphone app store. I find that much easier to navigate and find new apps than the current iPad app store. I really hope they fix it soon.

Until then, I've been using appshopper every day and will continue to do so

I find it annoying that you cant just browse a catagory freely and look at all the apps. If there is a way to do this and not just the top apps plase let me know because i hate shopping for apps atm

I just select Release Date instead of Top whatever.

Which sorting filter would you prefer?

Stupid as hell.

If there ever was a worthwhile complaint this certainly is it. It's truly mind-boggling that this terrible non-intuitive problem exists for apps for iphone and iPad.

It's insane that there is no way to browse all the apps.

You should also be able to sort by user rating.

It needs a usability overhaul, for sure. I also wish they'd separate the iPhone store and the iPad store into two separate stores and do away with universal iPhone OS apps (but, they should have a system where developers can give you credit for buying one app to apply to another, bundle discounts, etc.).

That idea offers no benefit to anyone. They just need to improve the store...a lot.

If you own an application, how do you know if you will be charged again for the same app on iPad?

I.E. If I own Readdledocs for iPhone, how am I certain if it will cost me again/or not for iPad?

What am I missing? Where is it listed?

For iPad, purchased apps are linked to your iTunes account, so you can download as many times as you want.

I'm not sure if iPhone apps are or not.

You missed my point; or maybe I did not word correctly...

If I want Readdledocs for iPad, but I own on iPhone- am I charged again if I buy now for iPad?

If not, how do you know without hitting- Buy Now- finding out after.

Thanks. I am just using the above for example.

You don't have to get it from the app store again. If you bought the app on your iPhone, then it's transferred to your computer when you sync. You can also sync it to your ipad if you want.
