What is app store. App Store - which one to choose and how to use? How to pay for apps in the App Store

App store - an application from one of the largest online stores in the world. It is a classic catalog of mobile content, like Play market for Android or Store for iPhone.

The content store contains a huge number of titles. In it you can find popular programs, games, books. There are both common common applications and paid specialized solutions for special tasks. A unique feature of the Amazon Store is the regular distribution of expensive games or serious programs absolutely free of charge. The second big advantage is the extended catalog, many titles from which are simply not available for download in Google Play.

All active users of smartphones and tablets should definitely download the App Store for Android so as not to miss the opportunity to get free good products. Mobile Market from Amazon should be present for everyone.

Peculiarities

Large catalog;
Regular promotions;
Unique applications;
Simple clear interface.

To use, you will need to download and install the APK version of the store, as well as go through a simple registration process.

Today's article will be devoted to the store of games and applications from Apple, which is called the App Store. I'll tell you how you can download it to a regular computer.

Of course, there is no PC version, but let's try to find options that will help you use the App Store on regular Windows.

What is the App Store?

Before using the applications and games from this service, let's first understand a little what it is and why this store is needed at all.

As we all know, there are two dominant operating systems in the market today, iOS and Android. For each of them, stores were created where you can download games and applications.

For iOS devices, the App Store was created, and for Android devices— Google Play Store. Both stores are very good, but the first one has the following advantages:

new games and applications appear most often in this place first;
tighter control over security;
more modern interface.

The store for Android devices is also quite good and it is getting better every day. You can find fewer and fewer applications in it that may simply be useless or empty.

Download App Store on PC

We all know that Apple's policy is quite strict and therefore iOS is a closed operating system. Installing or downloading the App Store in any way on a regular computer will not work.

But to our happiness, Android is open and all applications with games are almost identical for all devices. Therefore, there is a way out and it is called an emulator for Android.

There are a lot of programs and in general the process of the appearance of any game on the PC is as follows:

download the emulator and at the same time use only trusted sources like www.bluestacks.com or www.bignox.com;
then install the emulator on your PC;
launching it for the first time, you will have to go through authorization from Google;
now we write the name of the desired game in the search field of the emulator or the Play Market and click Enter;
a list of results opens, in which we select the one you need and click Install;
after installation, just run the application.

It is also possible to install using .apk files. There is a small minus of emulators, because some games or applications may not be available in the store. But this is extremely rare and you will definitely find the most popular ones.

Results

This is what the situation looks like if you suddenly want to download an Apple store called the App Store to your computer.

I described the alternative to you, but whether to use it, this is your decision. I can only say that playing games and using many applications is quite comfortable.

Or we buy ourselves a MacBook or iMac, which is quite expensive. And one more thing, there is no emulator, there is iPadian 2, but it can do absolutely nothing and it's just a dummy.

This is the top App Store from the first persons of the company. Agree or not - we decide for ourselves.

The App Store has millions of different applications for every taste and color. There are hundreds of software solutions for each category, and choosing the right one is not an easy task. Apple decided to help and presented a list of the 10 coolest current applications.

For owners of iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod), the main source of such content is the App Store.

8 Important Facts About iOS, the iPhone, the App Store, and Apple's World Order

Apple controls almost everything in the life of its technology: from the development of devices to the operating system. The company does not depend on anyone and can prohibit any of the manufacturers from installing applications on their operating system.
iOS is a closed system. What does it mean? Any program that can be installed on an Apple gadget undergoes a rigorous security and official check, that is, the possibility of “infecting” the device is excluded. Of course, viruses can be on any platform, but compared to others, iOS seems to be the most secure.
The number of iOS apps is huge. All content producers, of course, do not bypass this operating system.
The quality of applications is many times better than, for example, Android. There is practically no such category of applications as spam, that is, if there is an application, then, as a rule, it is official, and it will not cause much trouble with installation and use.
Of course, the choice of devices that support iOS is much smaller than the same androids. But the iPhone is famous for its reliability. In the end, working on the improvement of the same models for so many years, the company has really reached the heights of quality and reliability. Rest assured if you have upgraded to latest version iOS, then the official AppStore will allow you to install any application, no matter what device you have. Android cannot boast of this yet - the normal operation of the application depends on the model of the device and its characteristics. In general, we have already started a metaphysical dispute on the topic “App Store VS Play Market”.
Users of "apple" technology have the opportunity to combine all their mobile devices updated to the latest version.
There are many accessories for gadgets with iOS. Again, a small assortment of models of the equipment itself affects.
iOS devices are more expensive than others.

So, we have described the main features of the system, and if you are for minimalism, aesthetics, security, then you have a direct road to the Apple salon (which you may have already done), and then a virtual road to the App Store. And our little review will help you.

What is the Apple App Store and how to use it

The App Store is an online application market, also known as a section of the iTunes Store application market, which contains various programs, games and files for smartphones, social network applications Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and much more. You can download content from the App Store for free or for money using your Apple ID account (by the way, if you forgot your password, click here).

The developers made sure that for each country the interface language was native. So, if when registering an account you indicated the region of residence - Russia, then you will have an App Store in Russian.

By the way, it's quite frequently asked question so remember:
to make the Russian App Store on your iPhone, you need to select Russia in the Country / Region field in your Apple ID account.

Apple carefully controls all new arrivals in its market. Each application hosted here has an electronic certificate. If someone, after purchasing a program in the App Store, starts using it for unauthorized actions, this program will be immediately removed from the store and the developers will be notified of this fact.

As we said above, you can also get into the App Store through iTunes, versions not older than 7.7.

iTunes is Apple's free media player for OS X and Windows systems. With it, you can listen to music and watch videos. By installing this system on your Windows PC, the user gets access to the iTunes Store, from which all content for iOS devices is purchased.

iTunes has a very handy Genius feature. After examining your media library, smart Genius offers you selections of content according to your preferences

iTunes works on all Apple devices, as well as Apple TV mobile TV. You can view media as a streaming broadcast, and create your personal collections of photos, audio and video. And, of course, iTunes is constantly updated.

App Store Structure

To date, the range of the store has more than 1.5 million files: applications, programs, games, books, movies, music and more. You can get into the App Store either directly from your iOS gadget, or through iTunes installed on your computer.

So let's open it and take a look.
Here and below, we will be looking at screenshots taken from the iPad, but the structure and interface of the App Store is identical on all iOS devices.
On the first page at the top, the application is divided into sections for easy search: "Categories", "Games", "Kids", "Education", "More" (in the picture below it is highlighted with an orange frame). There is also a "Search" button nearby for a specific search for your query. You only have to choose.

App Store - app store

After selection, for control we now go to lower part applications where the bookmarks are located: Featured, Top Charts, Near Me, Shopping, Updates (highlighted in red in the picture above).

Let's take a closer look at each bookmark.

"Selection"

Here you will find thematic collections of applications compiled by the developers of the store. This presentation of content is designed to make it easier for the user to search and select. However, sometimes it happens that the name of the collection does not quite match its content, so check each product anyway.

"Top Charts"

This tab contains the most rated applications by the number of downloads. And the people's choice should be trusted. Apple specialists are zealously monitoring that one-day applications, whose ratings are “inflated” artificially, do not break into the top charts.

How Apps are Sorted in the App Store

Tab « Top charts» divided into 3 parts:

"Top Paid"– you guessed it, top paid apps come here. That is, a huge number of users have bought these programs, which is what we wish you.

"Top Free"- respectively, the most rated free or shareware applications. This category does not go through such a harsh “face control” as paid applications, so you can meet something useless here - after all, it is easier for developers to bring their offspring into the free category. The list of products in this section is constantly updated.

"Top Cash" are the most popular apps that bring their creators the maximum profit. This usually includes the most popular games and other hit apps.

By default, 100 applications are loaded in each section of the top charts. You need to scroll further so that the rest are loaded, but you still won’t see more than 300.

"Next to me"

App Store market knows where you are and what you need

"Purchases"

This section displays all the applications you downloaded (both free and purchased for your hard-earned money). Absolutely all your purchases will be visible in this tab - there is no way to hide anything.

App Store Downloads

At the top, there are two toggles for "Everyone" and "Not on this iPad." The "All" switch shows all downloaded applications, but the "Not on this iPad" switch shows all purchases made with your Apple ID, but not installed on this gadget.

And at the top left is a convenient application search box among all your purchases.

"Updates"

Here you will see which programs can be updated, since they are already out a new version. It is also possible to update all the applications you downloaded with one click (for which this is possible, of course).

According to many users, this is a very convenient feature - now you can quickly see what exactly has been updated in the latest version of the program.

App Store updates

So, we figured out the bookmarks. Now let's talk about how to find out details about the game or program that interests you, even before downloading.

How to find out more about the programs offered on the App Store

And now, perhaps, the main thing. Before downloading (paid or free) any application, you have the opportunity to see its description.

Find out more about the application offered on the Appstore

There are three tabs: "More", "Reviews", "Similar".

In the bookmark " More» you will find:

"Application Screenshots". Each product comes with 5 screenshots. To expand a screenshot to full screen, just tap on it.
Application Description. This field contains a brief description of the proposed product. Experienced people advise not to ignore the description and read it very carefully - after all, it is there, for example, that it may be indicated that this game will not be installed on your gadget.
"Information". This is basic information about: the developer of the application, the date of its last update, how much it "weighs" this application in the App Store.

In the bookmark " Reviews" posted reviews and comments of users of the application. For the most part, these are really comments by real people, although there are reviews of robots, as well as paid reviews (the ones that are written for a fee).

How to translate the App Store into Russian? We found 2 working methods.

After the App Store is installed, the language you have installed on your device is used. If you accidentally changed the language of your iPhone (5, 6, 7, 8) or iPad, you can change it to the language you need (Russian) through the Settings app. However, if you need to change the country or region associated with your Apple ID, you need to access your account settings.

When you move to another country, changing the country or region allows you to view the App Store for that country. Once you change country, you won't be able to access purchases made from the previous country, so you should consider creating a new Apple ID.

Here is an instruction on how to change the App Store to Russian:

1. Go to settings.

2. Open iTunes & App Store.

3. Click on your Apple ID and then View Apple ID.

5. You will be prompted to select your region (country), select a country that has the AppStore Russian language you need (Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and other countries). Scroll to the very bottom.

7. Fill in your details until you are asked for information about your bank card.

8. When you are asked to fill in your credit card information, click cancel and exit the section. (Or click next after filling in all the fields).

9. Open the App Store and everything should be in the language of your choice.
