I don't download "free" games with in-app purchases - I just don't see these games as truly free and don't want to mis-click and accidentally spend £100... I guess I don't trust the apps. Given how many seem to be flooding the store, why can't we have a search option to filter them out?

And while we're there, maybe a search option to filter out apps that require an internet connection?

Or maybe even the option to deny apps access to the internet, just in case?
