While IOS apps are only available to uses with Apple devices in the app store application of App Store website for MAC of Apple devices such as iPhone, iPad etc. The Android applications are published to the Google Play Store in Window based computer or Android Devices.

Perhaps it is so common in the last few years that a Mobile Application is now common known as an "APP" pronounced as "A_P_P" among the non English spoken people.

And iPhone, iPad in the case of IOS platform.
The key functions of both platforms is to host the applications and list them in the websites. While you may search and find some application listed in google search webpage, most people search their app in the respective Play Store.

From the page, you may have noticed that the Entertainment section is displayed first by default. If you want to search for an application, you can click on the "APPs" menu ( as indicated with the yellow arrow). Beside App., there are also other category like movie and book indicated in the left menu. It is quite interesting to note that almost anything you can imaging may be found in the form of application ( APP).

Click on the "Apps" in the menu bar and take a look what it has. It display different categories of applications with nice and attractive icons. From these icon, it indicates the theme of the app.
Example in this picture, the category "New & Updated Games" displayed on the top most of the page. You may notice that the first game icon appear may change from time to time. Its display position will certainly change as it is listed based on the most active app of the hour / day. And also it display differently at the country you are located.
From this simple analogy, you may realized that your app rank top will have higher chance to be noticed and get downloaded. Therefore, you need to understand the underlying factors to get your app to be listed top if you do monetize your app for passive income.

On the other hand, if you click the word "Role Playing", it will display all the same category of games apps. as shown in the picture below. This will feed you with many more role playing games apps for your selection from other developers.
