There’s reason to hope this might get better on the App Store: part of the app review guidelines updates this year addressed this specific issue. From http://www.appstorereviewguidelineshistory.com/articles/2018...:

> Apps now must clearly describe new features and changes in the “What’s New” section of the App Store. Several of the large social network companies have been using a practice where they reuse a generic update text for every release and then enable new features remotely on a per-user basis. This appears to no longer be permitted.



> and then enable new features remotely on a per-user basis

that should still be permitted, no?

they'll just have to write "we added feature x, which we'll slowly roll out to all eligible users."


> they'll just have to write "we added feature x, which we'll slowly roll out to all eligible users."

This would be vastly preferably to the current: "Bug fixes and performance improvements"...
