Shocking to me, even before this recent change was how often (always?) the top search result was an ad in the App Store - even if I specifically spelled out the exact app I wanted.

Because of the sewer the App Store has become, I don’t even go there anymore. Does anyone?

Edit: just searched “perfboard”, an app of mine from years back. Only two results, Perfboard and Peleton: Fitness. Guess which was first?

Gruber is absolutely right on this. I wish Apple would listen.

Ads have simply ruined search on the App Store. It is a terrible and, dare I say, -un-Apple-like, user experience.
