So true. Last weekend I've been hunting for a 1x1 battery status widget. This is (in its basic form) a 'hello world' type of application, so there are maybe 20 or 30 different ones on the app stores. Yet none of them looks good or offers any of the functionality I had on my Palm Treo battery management software. The App Store is a huge dumping ground of all sorts of crappy weekend projects, with a great professional app here and there, but buried among all the thrash. The rating doesn't help, because as soon as people start charging for an app, the bar is raised so much that the only thing commenters and raters do is bitch and complain. I have no idea how to fix this though.
