    Downloading and installing apps sure is easier now, but actually finding apps you may want to install? I’m not so sure.

    Back then with the limit amount of apps available, it felt like almost everything was worth trying out. Now you have a million useless apps for any interesting on.

    Even if you go to the “most popular” lists on the app store, there’s nothing worth downloading there. Discovery is still dependant on third party websites or word of mouth.
