Apple Launches 'Browse by Category' in App Store for Improved Discovery

Apple launched a new "Browse by Category" feature for the App Store on Thursday. The feature allows users a fast visual way to narrow down their app search for improved discovery.

Apple made the announcement via Twitter:

Clicking through to the link shows a page with 24 categories, including Books, Games, Education, Navigation, Newsstand, Productivity, Travel, and more, as shown in the screenshot below.
