App Store is Down for Many Users [Resolved]

If the App Store is currently down for you, you are not alone. Many users have indicated that the App Store is not working for them right now across devices like the iPhone, iPad, and Mac, preventing them from downloading apps after tapping the "Get" button.

You can just sideload the app instead of waiting for the App Store issue to be resolved.

Didn't even notice. Does anyone else barely use the App Store anymore? Not sure if it's because I'm getting older, or because I've settled into the apps that I like for years now, or because the built-in OS is so robust nowadays, but I just don't find myself needing to install much. I've only downloaded a few apps this year, such as Govee to control some smart lights, Apple Sports, an app my kid's school told us to install, and a few emulators when those came out.

For years I was an appoholic downloading and testing all kinds of stuff. I would visit App Shopper every day to see what new apps there were. Now I'm just kinda over it—there isn't that constant innovation anymore.
