How to download applications and games on iOS

If you’ve recently bought an iOS device like an iPhone or an iPod touch, I imagine you’ll want to know which applications and games free you should download.

If this is the case, know that I can absolutely advise you and show you a number of popular applications and games that you can install for free on your mobile device.

But before going into the details of what are the best applications and the best free games on the iPhone and also downloadable on the iPod touch, it is necessary that you explain in depth how you will have to proceed to download the applications and games on your device.

The reference virtual store for mobile devices with the bitten apple logo is in fact called the App Store . This is the Apple virtual store which integrates a substantial list of free and paid games and applications .

Downloading an application or game on iPhone or iPod touch therefore requires access to the App Store and perform a simple and quick search for the app or game and, consequently, its download and installation. If you want to know how to proceed, follow the instructions that I will give you in the following lines, step by step.

From the main screen of your device you must first locate the iOS App Store which has an icon with the symbol of a stylized white A on a light blue background. Then tap on it and this will open the iOS App Store.

The virtual store of Apple devices is divided into several sections: the main section, called Today presents an overview of what are the applications of the day and those recommended by the App Store team.

If, on the other hand, you tap on the Games section which has the symbol of a spacecraft , you will be able to view a section entirely dedicated to free or paid games on the platform.

In particular, I would like to point out the Free Top section that you can expand by clicking on the See all button and the Top categories section , also expandable through the See all button .

The first section will show you a list of popular free applications that you can download for free on your device. The second section instead will show you a list of categories within which you can identify a series of games to download, always completely free .

If, on the other hand, you want to download apps you will have to click on the App button which is located in the bottom bar of the App Store. This button presents the icon with the symbol of three overlapping sheets of paper and, in a similar way to the Games section , integrates the Top free and Top categories menu items . You can then explore the list of free applications and the list of categories in the App Store.

If you have an application, a game or an app in mind and you want to download it, I suggest you start by tapping the Search button which has a magnifying glass symbol .

At this point, from the menu bar at the top, in correspondence with the App Store item , you will find a text field that will allow you to type the name of the app or game you want to download.

Once you have typed the name, just press the Search button located in the lower right corner of the keyboard of your device to search for the application you typed.

You will then be shown the list of applications corresponding to your search and, once you have identified the application you are interested in, you can start downloading it.

To do this, tap on the name of the application to view its preview screen. Then scroll down this page until you find the Information section and the Compatibility item ; by tapping on the drop-down menu you can see if the application is compatible with your device.

The version of the operating system required for installation and compatibility with Apple devices such as iPhone , iPad and iPod touch will be indicated under the heading Compatibility .

If the app is compatible with your device you can download it. To do this, press the Get button and then, install the app by placing your finger on the Touch ID, if present, type the password of your iCloud account or press the Install button , depending on what are the options on your device.
