To step

Method 1 of 4: Using the App Store on your iPhone

  1. Open the App Store. It's a blue app with a white "A" in a circle.
  2. Find an app. You can do this in two ways:
    • If you have a specific app in mind, first tap "Search" at the bottom of the screen, then tap the search bar at the top of the screen, and then enter the name of the app or a search term. As you type, app suggestions will appear below the search bar.
    • To view different apps, tap "Categories" at the bottom of the screen and then tap different categories to view the available options.
      • Tap "Featured" at the bottom of the screen to see a rotating list of apps that are chosen because they are innovative, have a special design or because they may be trending.
      • Tap "Charts" at the bottom of the screen to see the top free and paid apps, sorted by popularity.
  3. Tap an app to download it. When you see the name or picture of an app you want to add to your iPhone, you can tap it to select the app.
  4. Tap on Details. Here you can view version history, screenshots and learn more about an app before downloading it.
  5. Tap Reviews. Here you can read the experiences of other users. Reviews are a good way to gauge whether an app is doing what it promises.
    • Tap the "Related" tab to see a list of apps similar to the app you are currently viewing.
  6. Tap DOWNLOAD on the right side of the app. If you have to pay for an app, this blue button will contain the price instead of the word "DOWNLOAD".
    • Enter your Apple ID and / or password if prompted.
    • Create an Apple ID if you don't have an Apple ID yet.
  7. Tap INSTALL. This word will appear in the same place as the "DOWNLOAD" button or the price.
  8. Tap OPEN. When the app is installed, an icon is added to your home screen, the "INSTALL" button changes to the "OPEN" button. Tapping it will open the app you just downloaded.

Method 2 of 4: Sync downloaded apps with iTunes

  1. Connect your iPhone to your computer with a USB cable. Once the phone is connected, iTunes will open automatically.
    • This method allows you to sync downloaded iPhone apps from your computer to your iPhone.
  2. Open iTunes if the program did not open automatically. The icon of the computer program is a round circle containing a musical note.
  3. Click on Store. This is at the top of the window.
  4. Click on Apps. It's in the top right corner of the window.
  5. Click on iPhone. This is at the top of the window.
    • This way you can be sure that you only download apps that work on an iPhone.
  6. Select a category from the "All Categories" drop-down menu. This is one of two ways to find an app to download. Here you will find a list of categories that group apps by theme or function. Click on the type of app you want to see which apps are available.
    • Check out "Productivity" if you are looking for apps that allow you to create notes or lists, or apps that can save you time.
    • Check out the "News" category when searching for apps from your favorite news websites.
    • Go to "Photography" for camera and photo editing apps.
  7. Type an app name or keyword in the search bar at the top right corner of the window. This is the second way to find an app in the iTunes Store.
  8. Press ⏎ Return when you're done.
    • If you are looking for a word game, but you don't know the name of the app, try the search term "word game".
    • Enter the name of an app developer (such as Zynga or Google) to view their selection of apps.
    • If you don't see any search results, double-check the spelling.
  9. Click on the name of an app to view the details of the app. It doesn't matter which way you got to an app, you can always click on an app's name to read a short description (written by the developer) about what the app does.
  10. Click Ratings and Reviews. People who download apps often leave a review with a recommendation or a warning not to download the app.
    • Read some of the reviews to get an idea of ​​whether the app will meet your needs.
  11. Click on DOWNLOAD. If you have to pay for the app, the price will be in the button, instead of "DOWNLOAD".
