<p>The plugin allows you to use an iOS app’s ID to import all the app’s related information into your posts.  This includes using the app’s icon as the post’s featured image, importing all the screenshots into the gallery, and adding custom field information (app price, description, rating, release date, related urls, etc.).</p>
<p>You may find other plugins that allow you to create a <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Custom Post Type</a> for apps.  That would be useful if you wanted to store a list of apps and thier attributes.  The advantages of that method include having a separate admin section for creating apps, and the ability to have an “app archive page”.  But, it has the disadvantage of not showing up in your normal post feed.  Custom Post Types are best used for special cases, not to replace posts.</p>
<p>This plugin simply adds to the standard post functionality.  It’s best used when you simply want to write about an app, and have your post show up among the other posts on your site.  If you want to have a special archive for your app-specific posts, it’s best to create a category.</p>

<p>With WP-Appbox you can add beautiful mobile app badges to your WordPress posts and pages simply by adding a shortcode. WP-Appbox supports the following app stores:</p>
<p>Apps & Software:<br />
* Amazon Apps (only via PA API 5.0)<br />
* Alexa Skills (only via PA API 5.0)<br />
* Apple App Store<br />
* F-Droid<br />
* Google Play Store<br />
* Microsoft Store<br />
* Snapcraft<br />
* WordPress-Plugins</p>
<p>Browser Extensions:<br />
* Chrome Web Store<br />
* Microsoft Edge-Add-ons<br />
* Firefox Add-ons<br />
* Opera Add-ons</p>
<h4>Usage of the shortcode</h4>
<p>All stores are integrated in a short code and can be inserted via button in the WordPress editor. The structure of the short code is always the following:</p>
<p>[appbox <em>storename</em> <em>app-id</em> <em>style</em>]</p>
<p>The order does not matter – as long as “appbox” is on the front. The blind names are: amazonapps, appstore, chromewebstore, fdroid, firefoxaddon, googleplay, operaaddons, steam, windowsstore and wordpress. How to get the ID of the corresponding apps is illustrated in the settings for WP-Appbox. The default format is “simple”, alternatively there is also an ad with “compact”, “screenshots” and “screenshots-only”.</p>
<p>There is another special feature for the App Store: With Universal Apps you can decide whether you want to get screenshots of the iPhone, iPad and the Watch App, or for example only of the iPhone, only of the iPad or only of the Watch App. All you need to do is simply attach a “-iphone”, “-ipad”, “-watch”, “-vision” or “-appletv” to the ID of the app. Example: 392502056-ipad.</p>
<p>By the way, the special feature is also available for the Windows Store: Here, too, only the mobile screenshots or those of the desktop version can be displayed. All you have to do is attach a “-mobile” or “-desktop” to the App-ID. Example: 392502056-mobile.</p>
