Great but as many have pointed out the biggest problem with the App Store is that IAP has made pricing completely opaque. The whole experience is completely untrustworthy as an app which requires an average spend of £20+ to use properly is considered more "Free" than an app which costs £2.99. It's made a complete mockery of prices. Fixed prices are popular for a reason and I hope Apple learns this and starts properly surfacing information as well as categorising based on the reality of an App's "price."
