The App Store

The App Store is an online software store where software can be purchased. The software, also known as apps, includes programs for smartphones and other devices like tablets, car radios and media players. In the App Store you can find apps for free, but also paid. They can be very useful, but also foolish.

Worldwide, there are four major suppliers of Apps. The App Store of Apple with more than 500,000 applications, the largest online software store. Second is the Android Market of Google Android with approximately 350,000 applications. Other well-known online software stores are BlackBerry App World, about 50,000 apps and the Ovi Store by Nokia, about 50,000 apps.

HI!

Welcome to Clear App

We are Yvet Meulensteen and Rein van Strien. Because of our lecture Business Intelligence Technology and our interest in mobile applications we started this blog. The App store is growing and growing and there appear more apps for almost everything you can imagine. The question is which app is the best to use? On this blog we will post about different apps from Apple and Android. What is the best one, but also the worst. Finally, we hope to find out what makes an app succesfull.

Feel free to look around and respond on blogs!
