iTunes App Store “Release Date” Bugs

Check in iTunes App Store, pick a category, and get/go to the Sort by: Release Date listing and I wonder saw the apps with Release date 07 December 2009 and 30 November 2009 are displayed.



But these apps are on sale – Auto indexing sites (Appshopper) showing different dates:




For users looking to find new apps in iTunes, have to hit up third party tracking sites like AppShopper until Apple fixes the App Store proper. For developers who were hoping for the brief spotlight that listing provides for those users, well you’re out some primo free marketing. And for many, that’s going to hurt.

So, to sum up, yes Apple is still needs to get rid of bugs.
