    Does Apple make his pics in random order?

    Just saw in the Spanish AppStore this pick from the staff

    Öffnungszelten Schweiz

    I don't know what this does (comes in reference), cause all the description text is in German :eek:

    http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=319827004&mt=8

    In Spain the second languague is English but few Spanish guys speak German.

    So anyone at Apple haved a bad day?

    Well this just was to illustrate how wierd can be things in the AppStore.

    Please focus in games in your replies.

    Yes, I often wondered this too. Honestly, I have never really taken any notice of the 'what we're playing' nonsense. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a degree of randomness about it. TA provide much more concrete info.

    As for your 'Öffnungszeiten Schweiz', it means 'Opening Times Switzerland', and is an app to make sure you know when restaurants and so on are open and closed....in Switzerland!

    As you say, pretty random, as I know very few German speaking Spanish people......in Switzlerland!:confused:

    I just received a reply fom Apple saying that the AppStore (i think the picks) are shared between some countries.

    That explains it.
