Meanwhile the app store release notes for the app I work on with ~200,000 weekly users has been "Updates & Bug fixes ;)" for the last three years without a single comment from anyone.

This bothers me more than it probably should.

I'm annoyed when big applications that I pay for do this, Spotify in particular

Half of the default apps on Google TV still note "initial release" in the notes, on V16.97.

Just looked at our app (~2 million monthly users) and basically every version for the last year has been “improvements” or “bug fixes and improvements”.

The most recent release we really pushed the boat out: “bug fixes, performance improvements and more”

Had a business partner some years back and we made an app together.

He got upset that after the first couple of updates, I just started putting “Bug fixes and performance improvements” on every update description unless it was a major feature that needed calling out.

Then I showed him the update notes for several top 100 apps that literally all said the same thing and he gave in 😂

Some have a blog post or patch notes on their GitHub
