Rant: I'm so sick of the Apple App store. It absolutely pales in comparison to app stores like Steam, Epic Games or GOG. On those stores, you can buy a license, and then use that license almost anywhere. (Except, of course, on Apple Devices.) These stores compete with eachother, so they also sometimes have very good deals. (Hello actually good free games from Epic.)<p>On the horrible Apple App store, you buy a piece of software and you can <i>only</i> use it on <i>some</i> Apple devices. If a developer stops updating their software, odds are you'll no longer be able to use the software at some point in the future.<p>Even worse, most apps are listed as <i>free</i>, but of course, they're not free. They charge you for them, but only in some way that is completely hidden to everyone who doesn't download and install the software. Either that, or they <i>are</i> free, but you're overwhelmed with huge numbers of ads.<p>I've come to resent our overpowered iPad. I'd love to install games that I own on other devices, but Apple has chosen to make this impossible. That's extremely disrespectful to me, their customer. They sell me a device that is completely locked down. It's horrible, and in no way the dream of computing that almost everyone had when I was growing up.
