Hey guys, there is no fix for App Store crash at this time. I have tried everyting and nothing works to fix it. I tried resetting all settings and resetting all content and still not working. I have an iPod Touch 4G and have not been able to get any solution to work.


So, I found a workaround.


Two issues that I hate in this iOS 6 upgrade.

1. App Store keeps crashing when you search for apps

2. The search results is now horizontal (displaying one item at a time) instead of vertical (displaying about 5 apps at a time).


Workaround is really simple. Install AppShopper. Go to the App Store and buy AppShopper.

What do you get back?

1. The search does not crash in AppShopper

2. The search in AppShopper is identical to the old search results in App Store

3. Searching and displaying the Apps is faster using AppShopper

4, You can track what apps you purchased and want to put into your wishlist.

5. When you buy the app using AppShopper it switches to the App Store and immediately opens the App that you want to buy WITHOUT crashing. Perfectly. Now I can buy it and it no longer crashes.


In summary, this is the workaround that works perfectly and if you really think about it the AppShopper is better than the new and old AppStore combined.


Give it a try.

Does anybody here have an idea why they would change a perfectly good layout of search results and make it horizontal and making each search single. That's very imbecilic, poor devolopers who are trying to make money. And how imbecilic it is to not test the crashing. They're actually selling iPod 4th Gs right now in their stores that have a crashing App Store. I personally went in and tested it. Not to mention how the third party apps crash or close in the background if you use system resources like surf the web with Safari while that app is running in the background. Good example is Yahoo Messenger, it'll close in the background while you use Safari or Facebook for example and you'll have no idea that a friend sent you a message until you actually open the app again.
