Apple is making an inventory of the apps in the App Store and those with little hits are at risk of being culled, recent news said.

This news was confirmed by Apple itself in a blog post where it said that it's now looking at the App Store to find out problematic and stagnant apps, and getting rid of them permanently. Apparently, the company is prioritizing quality over quantity.

"We are implementing an ongoing process of evaluating apps for these issues, notifying their developers, and removing problematic and abandoned apps from the App Store," it said.

This is not exactly bad news for developers as they will be asked to update the content of their apps in the Apple App Store so they can comply with the current review guidelines, or ensure compatibility with the devices.

In other news, the Apple App Store has now a new subscription scheme, said the report.

This is not new, of course, because the company has been making announcements to the third-party developers to come up with better ways to sell their content. One of the changes that takes effect is the option given to developers to set subscription pricing for their product. The final word, of course, is with Apple.

Meanwhile, the company also told developers that they can earn more when they persuade customers to subscribe in the long term. The company is also cutting its cut from 30 percent to 15 percent after a year, which means that in the developer will earn in long-term subscription.
