If you’ve been checking the “New Apps” section of the App Store hoping to find applications that were just released, you may be wasting your time.
I’d noticed a few apps over the last few days that I was pretty sure hadn’t been posted before. Today, however, I confirmed it. “Who Is Hot?” just showed up in the Weather category – one I have been watching quite closely as an avowed weather buff. It most certainly was not there yesterday, yet its release date is July 11th.
Similarly, “Sol Daylight Clock” appeared today with a release date of July 13.
I have a few theories:
1. It took a while to filter through the App Store release process – fell through the cracks?
2. It was placed in another category (social networking comes to mind) – although I haven’t seen it anywhere else to the best of my knowledge.
3. It was released today but has the wrong date.
In any event, these may not be the only apps to spontaneously appear in this manner – and they aren’t even on the first page of “new apps” in the App Store when sorted by release date – so you may want to keep tabs on the app categories that interest you so that you’ll know when the next great app shows up..

Joe, I can attest to that as well. While browsing to look for new apps I have found ones back dated that I can swear that they weren’t there the last time around. AppStore deifnitely needs some work along with fixing the alphabetical view.
