What Is an App Store?

The application store is actually a very popular saying, which is essentially a platform for displaying and downloading application software suitable for mobile phones. So why didn't Apple's previous app store flourish? First, the network environment has not yet matured, downloading applications have long waiting times and huge fees; second, mobile phone hardware limitations, mobile phones before the iPhone are basically button-based operations, mobile phones have small screens, low screen resolutions, and low processing capabilities. Only some very simple applications can be run on mobile phones. Third, the participants lacked enthusiasm. Although some platform interfaces are open to the general public, in terms of performance sharing, operators have steadily gained momentum, and developers inputs and outputs are different. The disparity is so great that intellectual capital is unwilling to diverge.

In fact, the term "application store" has been around for a long time-since you have a mobile phone, you can find "application store" in the menu of the mobile phone. But it wasn't until the Apple App Store turned out that the "App Store" really came to the center of the stage.

In contrast, the Apple App Store has the opportunity to appear in the context of the decline of mobile phones from luxury goods to daily necessities. In addition to the basic voice call and SMS functions, the public has a higher level of demand. From the perspective of the network, network stability, network speed, and Internet tariffs have all changed dramatically. From the perspective of mobile phone hardware, the iPhone is a mobile phone that redefines the concept of mobile phones. One of its important functions is that it is suitable for carrying various applications. In terms of screen size, resolution, and sensitivity, it gives applications a variety of space; from the developer's perspective, Apple gives 70% of application revenue to application developers, which has greatly stimulated the developer market with huge potential. , A wave of mobile phone application development surge, and this wave began, creating new miracles every day. ^[1]

The main function of the mobile software store is to provide mobile software and game downloads, also known as mobile application stores. Among them, Apple users can download from the Apple App Store. In China, Android phones are still the norm, and various app stores are dazzling. However, in general, the current mobile phone application market is divided into three camps: platforms supported by Internet giants, mobile phone hardware manufacturers, and third-party platforms, so the current pattern can be likened to a "three-legged stand" trend.

At present, the application stores mainly include the Apple App Store and the Android App Store. Major domestic app stores are based on the common application stores under the Android system. They mainly include Google Play, Kuan, Pea Pod, and Xiaomi App Store.

1.Google play

Most mobile apps are either launched on the Play Store or the Apple App Store. This shows its official nature. In addition, Google's review is extremely strict, so the resources are relatively high-quality, and there will be no viruses, rogue bundles, etc. that will bother you.

It can be found that the cool market has been slowly transforming and developing into a forum, but there is no software in other software markets.

3.Pea pods

The pea pod is a long-established mobile phone application store. You can find the record after downloading the software in your favorite. You don't need to find it again. However, the pea pod is clearly classified, the interface is simple, and the operation is simple.

4.Xiaomi App Store

The Xiaomi App Store is relatively incomplete, but it can be seamlessly connected with Baidu App and Pea Pod App to make up for the shortcomings. Moreover, each of its Android apps and games has undergone automatic testing, security scanning, and manual review. Three inspections, safe and reliable. Compared with some mobile phone applications, it is still more conscientious, removing a lot of piracy and advertising. ^[2]

The revival of the application store fully reflects the spirit of the mobile Internet, and people in all aspects should learn from it. For example, operators have the right to speak in the 2G era, so they stand still and are unwilling to give up benefits to others. As a result, market rules have changed and they are in a passive position. For example, participants have proved the strength of the "grassroots power", as long as they can mobilize this power, they can do everything. ^[3]
