Block iPhone Apps in the iTunes Store

Perusing the iPhone apps in the iTunes store, it reminded me how much absolute garbage gets in there. It’s as smarmy as Facebook. I have an idea to make it better.

Looking at the list of the top 100 free apps, you’ll find free versions of apps. Nice idea, but most of them are free versions of apps that you wouldn’t pay for. Others are limited versions of apps that you wish you didn’t have to scroll past. How’s about we introduce something else they have in Facebook?

Block App

Tired of seeing that stupid Sex Quiz thing again? Just click the ‘Block App’ button. One quick confirmation message later, and never see it again (unless, of course, you want to go into the preferences and unblock it).

I’m not sure if this has been proposed before, but it seems rather obvious to me.

ADDENDUM: Right now, this ability does not exist. But if Google search results are any indication, this is a feature a lot of people want.
