The server gave an error during download: 503 Service Unavailable.

App Store seems to be having a nightmare and the U K support page is also not good, any ideas what to do as I need an update for an app that I can't download

App Store-OTHER, iOS 8.2

Hello goonery,


If you were having issues with some Apple services they should be up now.


You can check the status at


Apple - Support - System Status


Note you can scroll back on the Detailed Timeline by clicking the back button to see some previous days.


Regards,

Nubz
