Re:Download bots are a well-known secret of the iOS eco-system by bobbles on Wednesday February 15, 2012 @12:37AM (#3593172)
As a pure iOS user (ie. not an iOS dev). I would like to see something that lets me hide an app from the app store entirely (and maybe provide a list of the apps I have hidden?)

I end up just wading through lists and lists of apps I already know I don't want and arent interested in.

Abilities to hide apps based on rules would be great too. For example, some reason chosen by me - so that when I go to download this app in the future, i might see something like "deleted this app because they added bad micropayments that ruined the game"

Something like 'categorise by publisher' could be cool too, if a company is making consistantly good apps I would like to find more of them.

Being able to hide all apps from certain developers (crap peddlers) would be immensely useful too.
