Apple has radically revamped the App Store web interface. Users can now experience the full App Store experience directly from their web browsers. This new interface offers dedicated pages for all app store platforms (iPhone, iPad, Mac).
App Store web interface offers ease of browsing
Apple’s new App Store web interface offers great convenience by allowing users to browse by device and category. The interface features separate sections for each platform. App pages specifically designed for devices like iPhone, iPad, and Mac are equipped with rich media content. This means users can access app details more deeply.
One of the most striking aspects of the new App Store web interface is the lack of app download or purchase functionality. The website focuses entirely on discovering apps and viewing their details. It directs users to the App Store app for downloads. This strategy is seen as an attempt to create the perception of a more “open” ecosystem in response to criticisms of Apple’s monopoly over the App Store.
The new design incorporates elements of the App Store app since iOS 11, such as curation (a curated selection of content), a larger visual, and a focus on reviews. Features such as a larger title and device compatibility notifications for each app are highlighted. Users can easily search for apps on all platforms and view detailed information from the browser.
