Why Sailfish apps are released in so slow rate? why.. why.. why.. seriously.. why? Apps would make it easier to sell and tell people of the Sailfish OS. Camera isn't going to impress anyone. Photo android apps function 50% Only need to be told why, why, why? I want to help but why?

While I agree the frequency of app updates / app ecosystem could be improved (Jolla could influence to an extent using incentives / allowing paid apps / other measures to entice developers), your question it too subjective and vague. What exactly are the features / issue fixes that you're expecting in Apps? Please browse the topics and vote for the features that you're interested to see in core apps and they will feature in future updates based on interest and development team priority. For third party apps, you need to contact the individual developer(s) for feature updates / fixes.

The current Sailfish App ecosystem does not allow developers to write anything interesting. Harbour (Jolla Store) bans all the libraries and interfaces allowing you to write anything remotely useful. You can only write an equivalent of a fart-app. Games are not present as SDL is a) banned; b) broken; Hell - even writing a fart-app is real pain, as the sound interfaces are a) banned; b) broken. Of course Jolla developers are exempt from these rules and can publish whatever they wish - but Jolla hires only a handful of developers and they simply cannot write apps in the rate you expect.
