App Store on iPad won't show all items

Since last night, i haven't been able to browse for more than one page of apps in the UK App Store on my iPad2.

Let's say, i search for "Apple" via the search field, it then shows me two groups, one for iPad and one for iPhone/iPod.
If i then press "View all" on either of the two groups, i see the first 12 apps, but even there might be +100 apps, i am not able to scroll on the arrows - they are grey, like there ain't no more apps.

If i then change the search fields from "iPad only" to "All", all app-icons disappear, the arrows becomes white - but still not responding.

Another scenario:
From the front page of App Store, I go to Featured and select "What's hot" - everything works fine, i can browse pages of apps, without any problem.

If i then go to "Top Charts", scroll down and tap "Show more", i get the next 10 items to see as well, but the "Show more" is grey with a spinning wheel, seeming like it is loading, but nothing more happens.

I have tried to restart the device, warm and cold to no avail, sync'ed etc, and would really like to avoid restoring my iPad.

Any of you others, who've seen this behavior?

MBP 15", Mac OS X (10.6.7), iP4, iPad2

I think this isn't only a problem with iPad2, i use a ipad1 and a iPodtouch and both devices have the same problem ("forget download",no rating,only once time "show more")
I hope (for me) it's a general problem and not a problem with some accounts...

Just a follow up. I think someone else mentioned this, if I do a search for something like "baseball" the search arrows dont work, I have a lot of baseball apps, same with other apps like "tycoon" or "mogul" which I have games with those in the title of. If I search for keywords not in an app description I have, the search function works properly with all pages. Very interesting.....

This definitely has something to do with installed apps causing errors on the page (I'd guess javascript errors) in the App Store app. I bought an app and I could bring up the review window for that app after buying it, but when I left the screen and searched for it (basically reloading the window), I could no longer review it.

Just a FYI, the App Store app is basically a HTML5 client. All the stuff in the app is rendered from Apple's servers. That's why the App Store can be updated any time.

And yes, I see it's also affecting my iPhone.

Having all the same issues here. Hope apple solves this soon. It is very annoying not being able to search the app store correctly. If I was a developer I would be really upset that people that own my app cannot rate it but people that don't own my app can.

I'm unable to rate or review apps on my iPad2, but I'm not having the search issue some of you are reporting. Oddly enough I'm not having any issue with my iPhone 4 using the same account and log in.

Till Now I had problem with accessing app store with more search as I was not able to go to next page. But now I am not able to access the app store at all. Getting very frustrated now. Apple should look into this as soon as possible. Its being pending from last 3 days.

Having the same issue of not being able to rate and all apps bar one do not show as installed. I have submitted a bug form.

Using iPad 2 on iOS 4.3.2

iPhone 4 and 3GS in the house are not suffering this fault.

Rating does work on my iPhone 3GS, but it is showing apps as not being installed when they actually are. So the iPhone is partially affected.

I reported this to Apple's email support last night. Haven't gotten a response back yet.

I just got my iPad 2 and the app store app does not allow me to view all the apps in a given category! For example, if the business app section has say 500 apps I can only scroll through the first few ( the first 24 or 36) after which the scroll arrows are greyed out and not responsive, thus I'm unable to view the remaining apps! ..I upgraded the OS to 4.3.2 but still same problem. This is sooooo frustrating. Come on Apple get this fixed!!

It's been noted that this could be a problem on the server-side:

Still not fixed for me. I just upgraded to 4.3.2 and it's still a problem. I also tried logging out of the store, but that didn't help either.

Someone made a YouTube video demoing the problem, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1k07LH31vM
