App Store is a marketplace app that helps you discover, purchase, and download apps across Apple devices.

App Store: iOS Style is Apple's official destination for finding and getting apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It combines expert editorial curation with privacy and security safeguards so you can explore with confidence. You can read daily stories, browse collections, and see app highlights that match your interests. Moreover, product pages include videos, rankings, and reviews to help you decide. The experience also supports secure payments with Face ID or Touch ID and clear subscription terms. Therefore, you can manage purchases and subscriptions with ease.


Features

Editorial discovery

App Store showcases Today stories, themed collections, and interviews that surface noteworthy apps. This guidance helps you find quality choices faster. Moreover, personalized suggestions continue to refine what you see over time.

Powerful search

Natural language queries with helpful suggestions and inline video previews are supported. You can scan results quickly and open refined lists to narrow choices. In addition, editorial tips appear to guide your next tap.

Trust and safety

There's human review with strict guidelines and automated malware checks before apps appear. In App Store, you can see clear age ratings and moderated charts that reduce spam and fraud.

Privacy controls

App Store respects user permissions for sensitive data. Apps must request access, and system-level protections prevent cross-app tracking without consent. Moreover, privacy labels and rules set clear expectations before you install.

Seamless downloads and purchases

App Store supports universal app distribution across Apple devices with secure payments using 2FA and Face ID or Touch ID. You always see transparent pricing and subscription terms. In addition, receipts and simple subscription management keep everything clear.

Rich product pages and events

The product pages in App Store include videos, screenshots, rankings, and reviews so you can evaluate quickly. You can also discover in-app events such as premieres, competitions, and livestreams from the Today, Games, and Apps tabs. Therefore, you stay updated without extra searching.


Compatibility and availability

App Store is exclusive to Apple devices and is not available as an APK for Android phones. The official App Store cannot be installed on non-Apple devices.

App Store operates across 175 storefronts in more than 40 languages. This reach helps you discover local and global content that fits your region and language. Moreover, charts and editorial picks reflect regional trends, which makes discovery more relevant.


Scale and trust signals behind App Store

App Store hosts nearly two million apps that serve a wide range of needs. A global editorial team of more than 120 editors curates stories and collections you see every day. Moreover, the review process is active at scale, with over 130 thousand apps reviewed each week.

App Store enforces privacy and security standards that remove risky submissions. In 2024, more than 1.9 million submissions were rejected for privacy or fraud concerns. Therefore, the storefront reduces exposure to harmful behavior before it reaches you.
