Had the same problem which wouldn't resolve itself for a couple of days. I could see that it was neither network nor account related as things worked on my iPad (but not on the iPhone). I was able to resolve this by restoring the phone form iTunes (and then setting it up again from iCloud) - took a few hours to complete, not really a solution but rather a work-around but it worked for me…

Oddly I have not done anything and for whatever reason my app store now works. I can search and the whole thing functions. I did nothing along the ways of resetting. It looks totally different, and I did not get back my YOUTUBE, but am glad that I did not have to reformat and reload everything. I did try pushing the two buttons to turn it off and get the apple sign and wait to turn it back on. I did that several times but that never worked. I was ready to refomat when I got some extra time, but for now do not have to. It is working fine, and the new appstore is pretty cool. So, I dont know what happened. it did not work for about four days - but is now back functioning perfectly, and is fast as well.
