Browsing the App Store from your computer
After you have the iTunes App Store on your screen, you have a couple of options for exploring its
virtual aisles. Allow us to introduce you to the various “departments” available from the main
screen.
The main departments are featured in the middle of the screen, and ancillary departments appear on
either side of them. We start with the ones in the middle:
The Best New Apps department is displaying six icons (and a sliver of a seventh) in Fig-
ure 11-2 . These represent apps that are — what else? — the best new apps according to
Apple's curators.
Onlysixiconsarevisible,buttheBestNewAppsdepartmentactuallyhasmore
than that. Look way over to the right of the words Best New Apps. See where it says, See All ?
Click that link to see all apps in this department at once. Or click and drag the scroll bar be-
low the icons to see more.
The Best New Games department also displays six icons, as shown in Figure 11-2 , represent-
ing the best new games available today. Again, you can see more of these icons by clicking
the See All link or dragging the scroll bar.
The Previous Editors' Choices department appears below the Best New Games department.
These are apps that were featured previously in a “best” category. Same deal here: See more
by clicking See All or dragging the scroll bar.
Apple has a habit of redecorating (or even reconfiguring) the iTunes Store every so
often, so allow us to apologize in advance if things aren't exactly as described here when you
visit.
Separating the Best New Apps department and Best New Games department are ads (Dinorama,
Games, and iTunes Radio Station Guide in Figure 11-2 ) , with more ads between the Best New
Games department and Previous Editors' Choices department (Designed for iOS 7: Zute, Shazam,
and Open Table in Figure 11-2 ) . Click an ad to learn more.
Three other departments appear to the right, under the Top Charts heading: Paid Apps; one of our fa-
vorite departments, Free Apps; and Top Grossing Apps (which isn't visible in Figure 11-2 ) . The
number-one app in each department displays both its icon and its name; the next nine apps show text
links only.
