# App Store

> How apps are served on the app store.

This document is an overview on how the Pocketbyte App Store works and how you can publish your own apps.

<Note>
  If you haven't already, please read the previous section titled "[App Format](/app-format)" to understand how apps are packaged on Pocketbyte.
</Note>

## What is the App Store?

The Pocketbyte App Store is a program that enables you to download new apps, games, and other files straight from your device—no USB cable required, just a Wi-Fi connection.

## App Store Database

The [App Store Database](https://github.com/PocketByteTechnology/apps) is the GitHub repo which stores all of the apps and other files fetched by the App Store.

## How do I Publish my Apps?

After packaging your app as a bundle with all of the necessary files, you can open a Pull Request on the App Store Database to add your app bundle to the list.

Just a heads up, apps may be rejected if they are low quality to avoid bloating the database. For example, a "hello world" program that doesn't really do anything might get rejected because it's not an actual app, just a copy-and-paste of a coding example.
