The App Store is an app store platform, developed and maintained by Apple Inc. for mobile apps on its iOS and iPadOS operating systems. It allows users to browse and download approved apps developed within Apple's iOS Software Development Kit. Apps can be downloaded on the iPhone, the iPod Touch, or the iPad; some apps can be transferred to the Apple Watch smartwatch or 4th-generation or newer Apple TVs as extensions of iPhone apps.

The App Store was opened on July 10, 2008, with an initial 500 applications available. As of 2021, the store features more than 1.8 million apps.
