Accessing the iPhone App Store

April 5, 2009

iPhone App Store

One of the most frustrating apps on the iPhone, from a readability point of view, is the App Store itself. Like it iTunes counterpart, the store uses unnecessarily tiny font.There is no workaround. You can’t zoom. You can’t go landscape. There is no font setting. You can’t even go to the mobile web site version of the App Store. It does not exist.

So finding apps is hard. Identifying features is hard. Seeing the price is near impossible. I need to get out a dome magnifier and my low vision glassed just to guess at a few words. It is much better, where and when possible, to find good apps using Google. You can then just search for the name and download the app without reading any details.

It makes little sense to me. I think that landscape mode is disabled since screen shots are shown in portrait. Still, that is not a good enough reason. I can come up with no rationale for using such a tiny font without zoom. Zoom is one of the iPhone signature features.
