When it comes to App Stores, we already know that the Android's Market, a.k.a. the Google Play Store and the Apple's App Store are pretty huge for all our needs, but the people at Facebook think differently! They simply thought of getting an App Store solely for themselves and they started working! Well, that was some time back. But now they have come out with their own App Store, called the Facebook App Center. The Facebook App Center will feature most of the apps that you already use on the Facebook website.
Starting today, the users can download over 650 Apps, including the very famous apps like Draw Something, Spotify or Sound Cloud! What is better than having these apps for your device, delivered by Facebook from the Facebook App Center.
