More often than not, I can't find a named, non-popular app, even when searching for its exact name. The only way I can find it, is if they have a web-page and an direct link to their appstore entry on that web-page.
So ironically I have to search Google/DDG on the open web to find the apps I'm looking to install on my iPhone.
"Broken" doesn't fully convey just how mismanaged the AppStore is.
