Additional Ideas for Using the Mac App Store

The Mac App Store can be a safe place to browse through different types of programs until you find the one that you want. But you don’t necessarily have to purchase programs through the Mac App Store.

Click a program and you’ll see a link that can take you to the developer’s website, where you can read more about that particular program or download a trial version so you can verify that the program does what you need.

If you find a program that you might need, don’t download it just yet. Check out the reviews to see what other people think—and don’t forget to search the Mac App Store to find rival programs. By using the Mac App Store you can choose the program that works best for you.
