I used to use iOS daily, now it's a couple times a week, and almost never the App Store, just Safari. But here is what I remember when it was my primary mobile device, plus primary upgrader on several family iPads:

a) Many interactions with the app store app were of the type where the app wants me to do something I had no thought or motivation or desire to do when I set out to do what I was doing. Does that make sense?

I think interactions can be split into two categories: user asks for something they want of the software, and, software asks something it wants of the user. There were many interactions of the second variety.

b) Unlike many other Apple apps which were about as responsive as one can imagine, and maybe a little more, most app store actions were of the "tap button and watch spinner for as long as it takes for an https round trip + data download from the server", which can be anything from a second to timed out.

c) The search and browse rarely provided any value to me. My typical path for finding an app was to search for "ios music calendar app reddit", last year, and read through those threads, and then follow the links directly to iTunes store.
