How Do I Get to the App Store?

A friend of mine is a photographer and he works with Photoshop nearly every day. Like many people, he’s very savvy with the functions he uses all the time. Tackling out-of-the-ordinary requests, however (Can you remove the maid of honor’s now ex-boyfriend from the photo?), requires a bit of a learning curve.

I’ve heard from several organizations that one of their biggest challenges to rolling out encrypted smartphone texting at their facility is device support. Users know some of their phone functions very well, but they aren’t familiar with other features. Even in a bring-your-own-device scenario, one of the common questions is (believe it or not): How do I get to the app store? If you’ve also wondered this, you are in good company with nurses, administrators, environmental services staff, and yes, physicians, too. 

On the desktop of your phone you will see one of the following icons (listed alphabetically). They represent the applications store for that device. Getting the process rolling only requires the tip of your finger – touch the icon on your phone and enter. Search features allow you to find applications by name or by function, just like browsing the Internet, and then you can touch them for more information or to download. Happy shopping!
