One of the things I find strange is that the features last so long. They appear to be...weekly? If so, that means about 50 apps PER YEAR in a slot, out of possibly millions?

That just seems silly. They should at least be rotating through a list of a few hundred apps per day.

Also, as a consequence I am quickly bored by browsing the store. Top-10 lists virtually never change. Featured lists seem like the same 3 apps forever. And a “See All” link that shows nothing more than the same 3 apps from the front page is just insulting. Apple needs much, much, much more in their featuring.

Despite the number of apps in the store, I am not convinced there are enough worth featuring for them to rotate through "a few hundred per day".
