If the complaints of the developers in this story over at The Register are accurate then the problem with the Windows Store might not be that there are no good apps but instead that you simply can't find them. If a developer can't find their own app in the store using keywords in the title or description or even the ones they submitted to the store then how can you expect to? If the only good way to find an app is to know its exact name, how many apps are there in the store that no one but the developer has even seen? It is still possible that an improved search function will not help the Windows Store but at this point its reputation could not get all that much worse.
"Looking at the developer forums though, it seems that official guidance and assistance for this issue is not easy to find, which will not help Microsoft in its efforts to establish a strong Windows 10 app ecosystem."

Nope. It’s a lie.
Nope. It’s a lie. Everything in Windows 10 is flawless and if you’re having a problem with finding apps in the store, it’s obviously something you’re doing wrong, you must be some stupid anti-Microsoft fanboy peasant.
Just ask Batismul.

Even me a long suffering windows metro fan admits that the windows store is crap in terms of search ability and has been since the days of windows phone 7 where the best apps were 3rd party apps.

Why is it that when I see an anti-Windows title, I immediately guess it’s written by Jeremy?

Oh, thank GOD someone has
Oh, thank GOD someone has finally said something. I thought there was something wrong with me. Finding an app in the Windows Store is an effort in futility. Microsoft needs to seriously revamp the store. From being unable to find apps, to apps being abandoned because Windows phone can’t gain traction, it’s a sorry state.
I wonder if Microsoft realizes how bad it is and is turning a blind eye, or if they are completely oblivious.
I have also face the same
I have also face the same issue with my windows phone. Finally, I have resolved the issue after reading your article. Thanks.
