LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksI'm browsing through the app store, I'm looking at #500 out of a list of thousands, sorted by popularity. I take a look at the description for an app, and when I return to the search I'm back at #1 on the list and I have to start scrolling back to #500 again, one screen at a time. Is there a way not to lose my place?
Thanks,
g2s

Don't worry it's not just you. This is driving everyone *crazy*. It's a known 'feature' and it seems intermittent - sometimes you get the problem, other times you don't. No real cures known, I'm afraid; there have been one or two 'work arounds' but I guess it's something we'll have to wait for Apple to fix. Until then we just tear our hair out...

annoying isnt it?! so if an app interest you write them down first. then check them afterwards.

I'm lazy, but I do use my notes app to write things in as well, because my memory is shot on occasion! Stress, I'm sure! Originally Posted by j0yful

Nope, I agree with Hayles, I always take a pic and move on then do a mass download. Have you tried an app called appshopper you can set many features and it never reverts to #1.

App Hits works well and has a good description off the app while you are on the list. (But I still use Appshopper , too.
