You might have already seen Apple’s “the iPhone has all kinds of apps” TV ads.
Apple has just rolled out a new section called Apps for Everything on its website, in what seems to be a continuation of their effort to make it easier to find iPhone apps on the App Store, which currently has more than 85,000 iPhone apps.
The Apps for Everything section has 12 featured categories of iPhone apps:
- Apps for cooks
- Apps for keeping current
- Apps for the great outdoors
- Apps for music
- Apps for work
- Apps for music
- Apps for students
- Apps for moms & dads
- Apps for working out
- Apps for going out
- Apps for managing money
- Apps for traveling
- Apps for fun & games
Each category page features between eight and 24 iPhone apps.
With more than 85,000 iPhone apps on the App Store, it has become extremely difficult to find quality iPhone apps. I think the new section will help users to find iPhone apps faster based on their interest.
What do you think?

Hope this will work. Cause there's really no future for developers if they are constantly competing against $0.99 price apps. Some of which are great apps, but majority of them are just plain lame.
What I am still dissapointed about, is 'What is new' section. They do not update it quite frequently. This section should be updated automatically whenever new app get approved instead of manual input. At least it will give people a chance to browse new apps on the same day when they released (get approved). I know the average of daily approved apps is in hundreds but at least it is an attempt to give fair chances to the unknown developers with potential apps.
FYI you have "apps for music" on there twice. Keep up the awesome work!!!
