Apple Removes Dice Games, Edu. Games, And Catalogs Categories From App Store by GlobalTechGist(m): 2:09pm On Oct 05, 2017
Apple has today announced that it is removing the Catalogs
category, as well as the Educational and Dice subcategory
(under Games) from the App Store.
Apple has sent out emails to developers who are affected
by this change, those that have apps currently listed under
the Catalogs category or Dice subcategory.
Apps currently listed under the Educational or Dice
subcategory of Games will simply be found under the
generic Games category, unless developers choose an
alternate subcategory.
The Games section of the App Store allows developers to
select up to two optional subcategories to further refine
their placement.
Many of these categories are very small, representing low
volumes of downloads, and it is likely that Dice is one of
these — hence its removal. It is a bit of a surprise that the
Educational section is not very popular, though.
With the removal of the Dice and Educational subcategory
options, apps in the Games section can now be listed as
Action, Arcade, Board, Card, Casino, Family, Music, Puzzle,
Racing, Role-Playing, Simulation, Sports, Strategy, Trivia
and Word titles.
For apps currently listed under the ‘Catalogs’ category,
Apple will automatically migrate affected apps to the
Shopping category on November 6, 2017. Developers are
free to choose a more relevant alternative at will.
Apple doesn’t give an explanation as to why the category is
being removed but it is either due to lack of significant
downloads to justify its existence, or an editorial
simplification where most apps will fit better as ‘Shopping’
apps anyway.
To be clear, none of the apps in these categories will be
removed from sale by Apple. It just affects where they are
displayed in the App Store navigation.
