A website does exist:

There's the top charts website featuring a list of Top free and paid Apps.

iTunes - iTunes Charts - Apple

And there's there's also the Category page, though not quite as nice or detailed.

App Store Category Browse - Apple.com

I have no beef with Phil0124, you, or anyone else on this thread. And I'm not sure how my response can be interpreted as a belief that Phil0124's thoughts or feelings, or anyone else's that are contrary to mine, are illegal. We all have a right to our opinions and I simply expressed mine in hopes of affecting change.

Yes, people on this thread are vocal and posting here because they are either stanch defenders of Apple (who I am usually an 100% supporter of) or are not happy. But that shouldn't and doesn't mean the other billions of users that haven't weighed in are alright or don't have a problem with the change. Some will feel what's the use in complaining and take the changes in stride. As you point out some may not know that the community and this thread exists. The context of my minority reference was in relation to the number of posters in this thread.

I see my response as no different than speaking out on the injustices in the world. Just because there are only a few vocal individual who speak out, it doesn't make the injustices okay or right.

I tried downgrading from 12.7 to 12.6 but it seems that it can't open the .itl file because it says it was created with a newer edition of iTunes. I just had an issue where I synced music to my iPad Air 2 (still on 10.3.3) and although it said the sync was complete this morning I found that it was missing a bunch of songs and albums are incomplete. It took me 2 hours of troubleshooting yesterday and it still wasn't fixed.

You're right it is a forum for exchange of technical knowledge between users. Perhaps I should have used other terms in my statement to express the opinion that it is not - rules or not - uncommon for some comments of experiences to be added to a conversation.

I believe no one here is bashing Apple, we are merely shaking hands and saying, yeah I had that experience as well and I understand where you're coming from. Here's what you might want to try.

I don't feel it necessary for you speak terms and policies of conduct here. I seem for have offended you for some reason so apologies for that.

Without an open forum of conversation, isn't it kind of one sided and pointless ?

Ive been waiting to hear feedback about the compatibility of iTunes 12.6.2 and High Sierra before installing the system update. so I just want to clarify what you are saying. - Are you telling us that iTunes 12.6.2 works with High Sierra and that installing the system update didn’t automatically install iTunes 12.7? ...if that’s correct then can you tell me if you reverted back to iTune 12.6 after rejecting 12.7, or never installed the new iTunes at all? ... my concern is that, even though I reverted to the previous version, having installed 12.7 may still cause the problems you are suggesting might occur.

THANK YOU!

My son did this for me in less than 5 minutes a couple days ago but it reverted back to 12.7 (due to auto-update). Smart son is out of town and I couldn't figure it out (after reading 2 other articles with instructions) so I made an Apple phone appointment. Spent 1 1/2 hours on the phone with them - Apple could not figure it out and said I would need to revert my entire mac to do it (which I know isn't necessary).

Your instructions worked perfectly - even I understood them. Very grateful for your time and expertise. Thank you!!

I may be wrong, but I think this only occurs if "auto-update" is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store on your phone. My phone is clearly getting the new app versions from my Mac even with WiFi turned on.

I never have Auto-Update turned on for anything! Burned to

many times years and years ago with Windows. That's why

I didn't get stung by 12.7 and always chose what and if I

want to update anything on my iPhone. Always check first to

see what folks say!

I'm constantly amazed at how much the behavior of Apple products can vary while they are, in theory, running the same software. I understand that Windows and Android have such a variety of devices to cover, getting consistent behavior is a major challenge. It's all obviously more complicated than I realize. I do wonder how much OS updates leave behind old code that can cause glitches or drain batteries. I see a lot more complaints about updated phones than new ones.

I need to do this too, I'm on OS 10.11.6 and my version of App store is not compatible for iTunes 12.7

Thanks you saved my day!

How did you get them to show in the iTunes once you did all that? I have the media folder recognized in iTunes but it's not showing my music or my apps, tones or anything else I need.
