@mysk interestingly, if I _search_ for Loupe in the app store, it doesn't show up in search results, although the name is offered as a search suggestion. I can visit the app store link directly and get it, though. (This might be something to do with it being new, or me being in the UK, or some similar reason; I do not want to jump to conspiracy thinking.)

@sil @mysk I had to use the direct link shared by Mysk to find it. The App Store did NOT want to show it to me. Funny that.

@moelassus @sil It shows up on the Canadian and German AppStore very normally 🤔

@moelassus @sil Hey, are you still unable to find Loupe in the UK App Store?

@mysk @moelassus it is now there when I search, although there’s no data about it: see screenshot.

(I don’t know whether it shows up because I have it installed or because the search finds it now)

@sil @moelassus Yes, that's because you have it. Thanks a lot for confirming it.

@mysk @sil If I search for Loupe, I don’t see it at all in a long list of magnifier apps. If I spell out the complete app title, it does appear.

@moelassus @sil This is expected. The term "Loupe" is too generic. Thanks a lot for testing.
