The Apple App Store is full of scam apps. It’s all the disadvantages of a walled garden with none of the supposed advantages for users. In that way, the App Store itself is a scam.


Apple's Store is "Swiss cheese" security: full of holes, but still more cheese than hole.

It has some of the disadvantages, some of the advantages. It's not (and never was) perfect.

That said, at this point I am a disillusioned app developer: I no longer believe that the creation of an app is a good business idea in most cases.


I haven't encountered any to be honest. Can you link to one as an example?

IMO, Duolingo. Makes claims about language learning that I found to substantially exceed what was delivered.


Well said
