Feren OS’s Store

The home page, which you get greeted to, is split into the following sections:

  • Suggested application (a randomly picked application from a pre-defined list of possible applications)

  • Editors’ Picks (some randomly items from a pre-defined list of applications for being applications of decent quality)

  • Categories to list many applications by in the Store

You can also search for applications using the search bar at the top right either by their standard name (most of the time) or their package name.

Whenever you want to view an application in Store, you can simply click on the application in the listings of applications when either searching for applications or viewing a category.

When you are viewing the application, a screen similar to this one will appear:

  • Install lets you install the application. This button will change into Launch and Remove if the application is installed.

  • The top will give you the application’s icon, the first line of its description and how its reviews score the application overall

  • Below that is the rest of the description

  • In the middle there are screenshots of the application (if any are available for the currently viewed application)
