Again swiping across will show you categories, which you can use to browse through the various sections by tapping and exploring them one by one.
But if you are familiar with the name of the app that you are searching then simply tap the search icon at the bottom of the screen which looks like a magnifying glass.
Use the keyboard to enter your search term. Search suggestions will appear as you type, so if you see what you’re looking for in the list then tap on it to show the results from that search.

Updating the Apps
Once you have the new apps added to your phone you also need to keep them up to date. This is because the developers of the apps update it often to fix problems or add new features and improvements, so it’s recommended you do use the latest version at all times.
If you have the store pinned to your start screen you’ll see a number appear next to it, indicating the number of apps with an update available. If you don’t, simply open the store and you’ll see how many updates are available.
Once you see which apps need updating, tap the menu button (three dots) in the bottom right corner of the Store screen, then on the menu that appears, tap downloads. Most apps will update automatically unless the terms of use have changed in that case you will need to tap on an app name to update it.
