Well with BB appworld 3.0, none of us will be selling anything new unless they fix it. The way they have it now is that only apps/games/themes that ALREADY have a rating will be viewed when browsing a category...doesnt matter what filter you use. The only way to see it is by directly searching for it. When browsing it doesnt show anything that doesnt have a star rating already. And since we need to sell to get a review, and need a review to be viewable to sell....

Its retarded.

Personally, I don't have a lot of luck selling my themes on app world. My advice to you is to place it on mobihand also and to email into the CrackBerry editorial or theme roundup and ask for a review, offer a coupon code for a freebie giveaway too as this will also bring attention to your theme.

Yea....I was browsing to find my themes....wanted to see how far down, but couldnt find them. Noticed that every single one there has a rating. Looked through with dif filters, and looked at all the apps an games...same thing. Ive posted about it and submitted a ticket through the issue tracker. I really hope they fix this asap or appworld has become useless to anything new.
