You Can Now Browse Vision Pro Apps on the Web

[MacRumors]

Apple today made the visionOS App Store available on the web, giving Vision Pro users and prospective owners a way to see what apps are available for the device.

As noted by 9to5Mac, Vision Pro apps can be viewed by going to the App Store for Apple Vision Pro web page. Apple has dedicated sections for apps and games, along with a separate tab for Apple Arcade games that can be used on Vision Pro.

Apps are organized into the same categories that are available on the Vision Pro, such as What's New, Hot This Week, iPhone and iPad Games for Vision Pro, and Don't Miss. Apps can also be viewed by type, with Apple organizing them into options like Weather, Utility, Entertainment, Sports, Productivity, and more.

The option to view available Vision Pro apps gives those without the headset a central location to check out the available software before deciding whether to make a purchase. Vision Pro apps have been listed individually on the App Store website since launch, but until now, there was no way to get an overview of all available content except on the Vision Pro itself.

Reminds me of the early days of the Apple Watch, lots of gimmicks...

Didn't stop me from buying an AW and won't stop me from buying an AVP lol

 

[BGPL]

This will help a lot - to keep an eye on the current/new apps... that was the major reason I returned mine. (lackluster apps which was kind of unknown until you bought one).

All for the low, low price of $4,000. I would love to know the sales, returns and inventory figures for AVP

It’s probably flying off the shelves like the G4 Cube, which also cracked without the owner misusing it.

This is very useful

This is actually some good news! I’m very curious what new apps become available.

The AVP has been available for purchase. What IS stopping you?

The fact that you need a webpage to help you determine what apps to download speaks volumes about the true lack of apps available for AVP. 🤦‍♂️

 

[Abobrek]

Because finding apps on AVP is difficult? Or is it simply because the AVP lacks so many apps? Compare this to a Mac or an iPhone…just imagine if a webpage was the most helpful way in finding apps for those devices…

Be happy you returned your AVP when you are saying a webpage will help a lot when discovering apps. Compare that to an iPhone or iPad 🤣🤣🤣

 

[Surf Monkey]

This is a pretty poor selection of apps as far as I can tell. I don’t see much true AR content at all. Just a lot of floating windows.

What are you on about? It gives those of us who are interested in the VPro a way to see what apps are there.
If you don’t want a VPro, easy choice for you

Tell me you didn’t use the iPhone in the early days without telling me you didn’t use the iPhone in the early days.

I live in Canada and would rather wait for it to be available locally haha

Although I did preorder the very first AW and got it on launch day but returned it as it was not much use at the time. I didn’t really get back into the AW until series 4.

For AVP, I’ll likely just demo it when I’m in the US next month and then wait a few years before purchasing one. The AW price is fine for something that might only be used occasionally or for 1/4 of the functions it offers. AVP as it stands is far too expensive (for me) to justify the cost

What are you going on about Intel vPro?

What????? That may be the most illogical and nonsensical statement I've seen in a very long time. Are the AVP haters getting desperate for new material?

The big issue I’ve found is that I’ve got a lot of iPad compatible apps on my AVP that are available for install on the App Store if you search for them by name and run just fine but don’t show up at all in the website (that I’ve seen so far) and aren’t featured in the App Store so to find them you have to know their names and search for them directly in the App Store on the device.

Apple needs to address app discovery for AVP owners and potential owners ASAP. This is a nice start for those without the device but you should, at a minimum, be able to search by name like you can in the App Store itself so you can really research what’s available and what isn’t. This website gives you an incomplete picture. If all I saw were the apps shown in the website I would’ve returned the device. Having a list this incomplete might hurt sales more than help them at this point unless I’m missing something and there is a way to search through all apps and not just browse by the categories they are showing.

Vision Pro - is that still a thing? I thought they were all in drawers by now like my iPad.

You’re mistaken. The Vision Pro is still a thing.

Unlocking basebands for t-mobile and jail breaking for cydia on the 1st gen iPhone! Loved it.

My iPad mini gets so much use. Best apple device out there… it’s a shame it’s so god damn neglected.

Are you talking out of that drawer typing on your iPad?

 

[Surf Monkey]

I was going to say this exact same thing. If y’all recall, ALL iPhone apps were Web apps initially and Apple did in fact have a Web page to browse them. Even once the App Store launched Apple continued to maintain a Web interface to it.

Well, I think general customer satisfaction around iPad has proven to be pretty high, even in light of all the bashing the line receives here. Personally, I love my iPad Pro 12.9 and can’t wait to upgrade it to the pending OLED version.

Vision? Different story. The buzz around it seems to have died down after about a week and now it’s not exactly on the mainstream radar anymore. It remains to be seen what the future holds for the device but it isn’t off to a very auspicious start.

We’re still at the point where unique use cases are being discovered. This is the iPhone all over again. Except this time, people’s attention spans and level of patience are at an all time low. The product will mature faster than most people expect.
