Microsoft is putting a lot of effort into rethinking Microsoft One-Place for Windows apps. For a long time, the Microsoft Store had identical visuals across the web and software, but now they have redesigned the Microsoft Store with some standout features. Currently, the Microsoft Store web is not live and likely to roll out in the near future, but you can access it if you are interested.
Microsoft Store Web App has been upgraded with a search bar, app categories, and more
There are some major improvements. It is now easier to find Windows apps, even on the web-version of the Microsoft Store. You can find the search bar on the left-side of the MS Store, the app category, and a dedicated space to explore the differences between them. Not to mention, Microsoft, with the launch of Windows 11, has introduced new policies to expand the Microsoft Store.
On the homescreen, it shows some popular apps similar to the Microsoft Store but in a less clutter way. It is easier, more consistent and cleaner. Also, the app page now displays the app’s name or image along with details about the app. You can find the app’s rating and review at the bottom of the page.
A search bar, app categories, and more have been added
The Microsoft Store Web Apps also show a screenshot of the app. Previously, there was none, and now when you click on the Get in Store app, it pops up the Microsoft Store window to navigate to the app to download. On the other hand, it now uses the app id in the URL like other platforms such as Google’s App Store and Apple’s App Store. Previously, there was an app link to share, which made it difficult for developers to embed the Store apps.
