For any user using an iPad or an iPhone, the only place they ever have to go to get any iOS based app is the iOS App Store. Truly speaking the iOS App Store actually has all the apps anyone can ever need on their iPhone or iPad. On the other hand, the Mac App Store, the personalized app store for Macbook users, is not that well stocked. If a comparison is made of the number of apps each popular Apple device had, iPhone will have the most apps stored for it, iPad will be the second highest, and way below the lot will be Mac apps.
Here are some of the types of apps that the Mac Store should borrow from the iOS store and keep:
· The TestFlight app Apple provides the users of their iPhones and iPads is one of the most useful and popular app. This app allows the users of iOS devices to make test runs of various different apps and then download them. The Mac Store, on the other hand, has beta testing facilities for their apps, but it is absolutely nothing compared to TestFlight.
· The iOS app store allows developers of the iOS apps to provide with videos showing the various facilities and workings of the app they have created. By watching these videos, the users can make much better decisions regarding the purchasing of the app. Mac store has no such options.
· Mac App Store does not allow its users to have any kind of free trials of the apps it holds. Moreover, even if the developers of the apps are open to providing the consumers with a limited period free trial pack for apps, the Mac Store does not allow it. Since allowing free trails make it easier for the customers to buy the apps later, developers are looking towards other places to sell their apps.
