For many iOS users, searching for an app on the App Store through iTunes on a computer is indeed a difficult problem to solve. Even when entering the correct app name, iTunes is very challenging to navigate and find the right app for users. However, copying music to iPhone on iTunes is relatively easy and doesn't encounter many obstacles as with apps.
Understanding this difficulty, a new website named TheAppStore.org has emerged to assist users in finding apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac OS X faster without needing the cumbersome iTunes web version anymore.
Finding App Store apps hassle-free without needing iTunes
Step 1: Visit TheAppStore.org here.
Step 2: On the main interface, click on the iPhone section to display three options including iPhone, iPad, and Mac OS X, corresponding to app filters for different devices.
After selecting this filter, users also have an additional filter alongside by clicking on the funnel icon next to the search icon.
Here, you have the following filtering criteria:
- Last updated: Most recent update time (6 months > 3 years)
- Rating: User voting ratio (2 > 5 stars)
- Price: Free/Paid apps
- Limit to Categories: Categorize by type of application
- Made for ages: Classify by allowed age (4+ > 17+)
The Expand all Screenshot option allows expanding all screenshots of the app when users successfully search.

It can be affirmed that TheAppStore.org is not a complete replacement for iTunes; it's merely a tool to assist users in finding apps more accurately and easily than iTunes, which can be challenging to navigate. TheAppStore.org's greatest advantage over iTunes and Google Search is its detailed search filter feature, providing more precise and faster search results.
iTunes is a comprehensive app store for music, videos, and apps for iOS users, including iPhone and iPad, similar to the Google Play Store for Android. After registering iTunes on your computer or phone, users can easily sync music and movies to iPhone using iTunes. However, always remember to install the latest version of iTunes to resolve issues with connecting to the iTunes Store. Many users overlook updating iTunes, leading to the annoying iTunes Store connection error phenomenon.
If you didn't know, iTunes is also a fun and creative tool for creating custom ringtones. The feature to create iPhone ringtones can be applied to both calls and messages on iPhone through the built-in conversion tool.
Wishing you successful app searches!
