Best Mac Apps Not In App Store 2015

Posted on by admin


The new Mac App Store has arrived, and with it approximately 1,000 apps available to Mac desktop and laptop owners.

We've spent the day downloading and experimenting with various apps, some of which behave just like full-fledged, existing desktop software (such as StuffIt Expander and iPhoto), and others that function more like widgets and/or iPad apps (such as Twitter).

Those who are familiar with the iTunes and App Stores will have no trouble navigating the Mac App Store. Users can peruse featured and top-selling (and grossing apps) as well as browse by category and search. Many of the apps already available in the App Store have made their way into the Mac App Store. Purchases can be made using your existing iTunes account; apps are installed within minutes and automatically appear on your dock.

We were delighted to find that Apple made many of its best software products, such as iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages and Keynote, available for individual purchase in the Mac App Store; previously, one could only obtain and upgrade them by purchasing their respective software bundles. In addition, users can sync Mac App Store purchases across desktops, and all updates for these apps are delivered automatically through the Mac App Store.

However, many apps we hoped to see, such as iBooks (which does not yet have a desktop app), Facebook (not that we were expecting one), Pandora, iWeb, Campfire (not that we were expecting one for that, either), Instapaper and FaceTime, were missing. We hope they'll make their way into the store soon.
