The App Store is improved with app packs

Add to Flipboard Magazine.

Apple has unveiled at WWDC 2014 new enhancements in the App Store. Trying to improve the way to find new applications, Apple will improve the App Store this fall with quite interesting new features.

Among these new features we found the Explore section, where the App Store will recommend us applications that come closest to our tastes and needs. Additionally, the search will be improved, showing just below suggestions on what we might be looking for as we introduce a search.

These two new features are added three more. On the one hand application packs, where developers can apply several applications to offer with a more competitive price. We will also preview improvements in applications such as videos of them and the ability to offer beta testing their application, thus receiving feedback from their users as they test their application before it goes on sale. These improvements come in the fall and will be available to all developers. 

Marissa Mayer (Yahoo) wants iOs searches

"Recode" has published an interesting article. It commented that Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo, has been developing a proposal to convince Apple and start using its search engine as the default in iOs.

This would mean that instead of Google, would be Yahoo who offer us the results if we decide otherwise. To which as you know, now we can do, we can stop using Google as a search engine and select either Yahoo or Bing. But...does anyone do it? No, we were in the great majority of cases the default.

Considering the number of iOS devices in the market imagine advertising revenue generated. If you remember, Google pays Apple billion as the default search engine. This figure is estimated because of what Google pays for each dollar earned to the published searches on iOS.

Make Yahoo the default search engine, would hit hard to Google

We will see if Yahoo is able to convince Apple possibly with iOS 8, we do know is that right now Yahoo seems to have improved and display advertising revenue increased in the first quarter of 2014.

After Google Maps do without the benefit of its own Maps service, doing so with the form would be a knock on effect. No wonder that Apple has thought of casting out iOS Google services. As said Steve Jobs, Holy War with Google.
