The ‘Great Canadian Apps’ Section in the App Store Gets a Makeover

Apple has given the ‘Great Canadian Apps’ section of the App Store a light makeover to further highlight the best and most popular apps for Canadians. The new design of this app section now has a black background with red coloured font, which provides a more distinct ‘Canadian’ feel. The section is described as follows:

Canada has been a wonderful place for developers of all sizes to create fantastic apps, and this collection showcases both our favourite locally produced apps, and those designed with Canadians in mind. Check back often–we regularly add new arrivals as they become available.

The ‘Great Canadian Apps’ section was first implemented into the App Store in September of 2010. The new Canadian-specific section appeared in the sidebar section under ‘App Store Quick Links’ .

This new refreshed section is now ‘featured’ in the Canadian App Store, and can be seen on the front page of the App Store on the iPhone and iPad.
