The Store is being decimated by a handful of developers spamming low-effort apps

IoFace, Islandic, SunEast, Echelon, Wonderful, Saraswatches, Warm, FaceTime, Estefania83, tatu_vic

They just blatantly SPAM the heck out of the store.

This issue is now a weekly subject on /r/Garmin with hundreds of upvotes and people fuming and complaining.

This has gotta stop.

    The Garmin Connect IQ store is not the same as YouTube. 

    The Garmin Connect IQ store provides apps for Garmin's own flagship wearables. Newer Garmin devices flaunt "supports Garmin Connect IQ apps" as a feature.

    Therefore, the purpose of the Garmin Connect IQ store is to enhance the experience of Garmin device owners.

    Meanwhile, Garmin devices are marketed (and priced) as "premium" wearables (compared to competitors like Amazfit, Suunto, Coros, Samsung, even Apple). 

    Now think carefully about what experience the current "dumpster" "anything goes" Connect IQ store gives to new Garmin users. Consider that people are paying USD$1000-$1200 for a Fenix 8 (before taxes).

    You can do better, Garmin.
