The top app category in the Mac App Store, Michaeli says, is Utilities, with just over 5,000 apps. But just because they can be optimized to work on computers in addition to the phones they were initially built for does not mean that developers have actually taken the time to do so.Īnd in fact, one game I downloaded for my MacBook Pro required me to use the trackpad to control my spaceship - and literally keep my finger depressed in a sort of minute-long tap while moving the ship around the screen - which did not work nearly as well as the smartphone equivalent, a finger lightly resting on the screen of my phone.Īs Michaeli indicated, Apple’s not “pushing” these apps yet, possibly because the user experience is not optimal. John KoetsierĪs Apple says, “These apps can be optimized to work with keyboards, windows, and touch-input gestures,” (emphasis added).
