Access an App’s Features
By design, Windows 8 apps appear simple and uncomplicated. They take up the entire screen, and when you first launch them, you usually see a fairly basic interface. However, almost all Windows 8 apps include a number of features — commands, settings, views, and so on — that you cannot see at first. To access these features, you must display the application bar — sometimes called the app bar — a strip that appears along the bottom or top of the screen. You can then tap the feature that you want to use.
