DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING AN APP

                 As you already know, an app is a software program. Hence, to use any app, you need to first
                 install it on your mobile device. As we have already learnt, the Google's Play Store and Apple's
                 App Store are the most commonly used app stores. Among these two, Google's Play Store is
                 more popular due to the huge market of Android devices. So we are taking an example of an
                 Android device to install an app from the Google's Play Store.

                 To download and install an app on an Android device, follow these steps:
                 Step 1  Tap  on the  Play Store icon on your Android
                          mobile. The home screen of the  Google Play
                          Store appears.
                 Step 2  Tap on the Search button.

                 Step 3  Type the name of the app or related keyword in
                          the  Search  for apps &  games  box at the top.
                          In our case, we have typed  learning  English
                          grammar as keywords.  A list  of related  apps
                          appears.
                 Step 4  Tap on the app you want to install. In our case, we
                          have tapped Learn English Grammar app. The
                                                                                        Opening Google Play Store
                          App info screen appears.

                 Step 5  Tap on the Install button.
                 The  downloading  of  the  app  will start.
                 When the downloading is  completed, the

                 installation process will start automatically.
                 Within few seconds, your app will be installed
                 on your mobile and the Uninstall and Open
                 buttons will appear on the screen.
                 Step 6  Tap on the Open button to use the
                          app. In case you want to uninstall
                          the app, then tap on the Uninstall
                          button.

                                                                                    Installing an App

                        You can also uninstall the application from Settings   Apps Management of your
                        Android mobile.
