Google and Apple are constantly changing and tweaking their respective app stores. We’re all here for innovation and improvement.

Apple is constantly shaking things up on the App Store – whether that be tracking mechanisms (rip IDFA), how the App Store is actually presented or adding increased user personalization with suggested apps.
