ios-appstore
Many of the stories shared on the iOS App Store are pretty interesting and informative. However, it is not always time permitting to go through all of them.
Is there a way to retrieve the archive of all the App Store stories ever posted? On another note, is there a way to create and access a users own collection of favourite stories?
Inspired by this question:
Google your app by name. The iTunes preview page should be pretty close to the top of the list. You can send that link to your friend.
I have the same issue on my iPad, and if you search the store, it seems to be hidden. If I search the store on my Mac in iTunes, it shows up though.
The direct link to it is http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itunes-connect-mobile/id376771144?mt=8
It also is a universal app, so it has an interface designed for the iPad.
Clicking this link on my iPad though still doesn't take me to the actual app. I think this may be a bug in the App Store. I can see it in iTunes on my computer and add it to my iPad that way.
After syncing it to my iPad through my computer, it launches fine, will connect, and looks good. The copyright on the app is 2010 though, so it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while (for example, no retina graphics on iPad). I did have a few times it threw an error saying it couldn't connect. I also don't have any apps in thee right now to test.

There is no official way to access the data. However, there are some websites that offer similar functionality.
One website I found is Sensor Tower. It lets you see 3 day history for free, and up to a year if you pay. The feed appears as it would on an iOS device.
Alternatively, for some stories, you can tap on the Share Story button shown at bottom, copy the link and send it to yourself. However, this approach is highly manual, would have required following it since the day App Store redesign was publicly launched. Also, it is not possible to do so if you want to start out today as the older feed entries can no longer be accessed.
