Apple's AppStore listings broken again!!

Over the weekend there were a number of photo apps released in the AppStore, some of which I have posted here, but today however those apps have vanished from the AppStore listings based on release date, and from the RSS feeds over at AppShopper (which are fed from the AppStore).  If you check out the AppStore (mine is the UK one) and look at the photo apps listings, you will notice that there are no apps listed after the 19th November, however if you check out StarLight Scope [AppStore Link] you will notice that its release date was the 24th November, and yet it is nowhere to be seen on the AppStore photography apps page. The same goes for a number of other apps including CameraPlus [AppStore Link] (which I have yet to post news of), so where are these apps gone? Only Apple has the answer to this question, but this is bad news for all developers until Apple fixes the problem, and who knows how long this could take.

Almost 24hrs after posting about the AppStore and AppShopper listings being broke, there is some good news, the AppShopper listings now appear to be back working again, so hopefully it won't be long before the AppStore is fixed.

Yep... another royal fuck-up by those who control ones iPhone apps fate... Either it's rejected, lost in review or released & unfound... or as in LOFI's case found yet took 4 days to find it's way to the new release page by date.

Hey APPLE... Stop tinkering with stuff... the more you play with the toys the more you're likely to fuck it up... again & again!
