Actually, this I disagree with. I know myself and many others didn't benefit at ALL from any 'new release' list on your first app.
I (like many others), submitted their apps without changing the Availability date. Then being your first app, you get rejected.
So instead of 2 weeks, it turns to be 3 or 4. By this stage, your 'Release date' is a month old and you NEVER get the (usually) well deserved promotion a new app needs.
The only way I benefit from my boring business app (Partae) is Keywords, and those searching for something in particular market/niche.
That along with my AdWords and Marketing.
The bottom line for me is, if I submit a new app or update, and it:
- my new app
now gets promoted without dilution
- my app looks recent
since my Post date gets updated automatically on updated binaries
in the new section (which it now appears to do), I'm reasonably happy.
My game, Deal or Not now shows my Post Date as my last update which previously shown my original submission date.
I
DO agree that another filter is needed (and might come) in the App Store to filter on new updates (not just new apps)
