The App Store redesigned with iOS 11: the editorial in the spotlight, here are the changes

The Cupertino company yesterday revealed quite a bit
changes for iOS 11, one of the most important concerns the App Store
which had barely evolved since its launch in 2008, the app was
completely redesigned with iOS 11.

The App Store under iOS 11 has a wholenew
interface, andtab reshuffling, and above all a
grossehighlighting editorial contentvia a new
"Today" tab which offers new apps, games, tips,
and advice.

Among the 5 old tabs, only the one dedicated to the
search and another for updates. The other three are new, it
it's about "Today", "Jeux" et
"Apps".

The new home page is the tab called "Today", which is somewhat
daily newspaper from the world of appswith news
daily. Every day, users can discover a new game,
a new app, and articles written by the App's editorial team
Store.

There are different types of items likethematic lists
d’apps, of theadvice, tips, and
mini-tutorials on apps.

Because games generate almost 80% of App Store revenue, they have
now theirown tab, separated from other categories
of apps. There you can find paid and free rankings for games.
only, favorites, game categories and collections of
games by theme.

The "Apps" tab concerns everything that is not a game, and offers a
provision of information identical to the "Games" tab.

An app's App Store page has also been revised with information
additional and different placement. On the menu of new features, we can
now see theposition of the app in the rankingsce
which gives a clue to its popularity, as well as the recommended age.

We also find the rating of the app and a possible editorial badge
(generally a guarantee of quality) at the top of the page. Developers can
now add more than one video for their app in order to convince the
users to try this one or to give a better overview of the
functioning.

Another important new feature on an app's App Store page concerns
in-app purchases, in addition to displaying the list of purchases
integrated into an app, it is now possible in iOS 11 tostart a
in-app purchase from the App Storeand finalize it in the app or game
(eg: unlock pro features).

Finally, the "Search" tab has been slightly improved and included in the
search resultsarticles written by the team
editorialfrom the App Store, and which are published in the tab
"Today".

So a major update of the App Store under iOS, which separates the games
from the rest of the apps, and above all emphasizes editorial content and
daily app selections.
