App Store

Apps were in the beginning planned for efficiency assistance such as email, calendar, and contact databases, but the public demand for apps caused rapid expansion into other areas such as mobile games, factory automation, GPS and location-based services, order-tracking, and ticket purchases, so that there are currently millions of apps accessible.
