Brief Description of App Store

Previously, the term App store is confined to Apple Inc. for iOS apps. But recently it has been found that the term App Store can be taken as a general term as this vocabulary word is more descriptive than to associate it with a single brand.

Now App Stores have become a nonspecific name for any online platform that sells apps. Some popular App Stores are Amazon’s App store for its Kindle and Android- devices, the Android Market for Android apps, Blackberry’s App World for Blackberry devices and Google Play Store.
