Why is iOS 6 AppStore now Reverted to Old Design?

Hey,

I updated my iPad 2 to iOS 6 yesterday, and I am still amazed... how many bugs there are!

I opened up the App Store, and updated some apps. I didn't need to enter my password and it displayed the process of downloading directly out of the App Store. But then, after a reboot, the App Store reverted to the old layout. The top and bottom lines are still black, but the inner window is like before, white on grey buttons and not dark grey on beautiful light grey. Also, updating doesn't show process anymore and the Highlights are in no flow anymore. I took a photo of the update screen which shouldn't look like this: http://lokforum.tk/Error.png Same thing with iTunes, I had the new look once but now it looks like iOS 5 except for the ton and bottom rows with the buttons. -.-

What's up here?!

iPad 2, iOS 6, One reboot since installation.

The exact same thing happened to me

Also, when I look at an app that I have downloaded before, it says K2DActionButton.buttonText.Open

Now it has reverted to the original design I can't update any apps either

And there is bugs in the music app too. One of them is that when a song is playing, the album cover doesn't show up on the top thumbnail

Looks like apple have rushed iOS 6 a little as there are so many bugs

Same issue here, 'old style' iOS5 app store within 'new style' iOS6 screen -- it's weird!

Hey guys, I am having the same problem on my 4S. I got the new appstore for all of 3 hours, then I restarted my device and it seesm to have reverted back to iOS5 app store. I also see the "K2DActionButton.buttonText.Open" text when I update an app. Don't know whats up. :/

I figured it out: log off in Settings > iTunes/App Store > Account and log off. Launch the App Store, should be new one, and log on with your Apple ID again. Now it should stay :-D

None of what you guys mentioned worked, to make the other two tabs dissapear and back to the originals, i still have "categories" and "Top 25" when it's supposed to be "Top Apps" (or something) and Genius. This problem just started tonight as I was going to the appstore, but no way to revert it back to the IOS 6 one. I can't make it like that for all of 30 seconds, when doing a "reset all settings", but it just keeps going back to IOS 5's version of the app store.
