The app store seems to be having some major problems currently. It's been broken since yesterday. This has been reported in a bunch of threads over at the Apple support forums, but here's what I've noticed (on both my Ipad 2 and iPhone 3GS):
1. The app store isn't recognizing that apps are already installed. This is only in lists, if you go to the app's page in the app store it will show as installed, but when doing searches or browsing any of the category or top lists, the app shows as available for purchase or download.
2. Searching is not allowing you to to go to the next page of search results. This seems to occur if the search results contain an app you have installed. Also on the iPad, changing the "device" filter to "iPad" causes all the icons to disappear instead of filtering.
3. It's impossible to rate or review any installed app. This only applies to the iPad version of the app store as far as I can tell.
4. Actually the app page for any installed app, is pretty much broken. Not only can't you rate or review, but most of the other features such as switching between reviews of the current or all versions as well as changing the sorting of reviews doesn't work.
This has been reported in a handful of places, but I'm surprised none of the major blogs have picked it up yet.
