Apple has built a search engine for apps. It's called iCloud - or more technically, it's one aspect of the overall iCloud service. Using it, you can search through every app you have installed on your iOS device or have ever purchased in the past. And it's available on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch right now.The average smartphone user has 64 mobile apps installed on their mobile device. I'm ahead of the curve. I have around 400. It's pushing nearly 7 GB of storage. Granted, many of these apps were installed for testing purposes only - they aren't used daily by any means. But my real problem is that I'm not inclined to remove apps I don't use. They just sit there on the phone, abandoned, languishing on the back screens. I could delete them, but I don't. You know...just in case.But the promise of iCloud, as I see it, is that these apps can disappear from the iPhone's homescreen, but never have to fully disappear from reach. They can be recalled through a simple search.
