- New Header: Now you can see all the essential info about each app at a glance. This section includes the app name, icon, a short and concise description, license models, app types, and available platforms. You'll also find all user-added screenshots conveniently on the right side, along with quick access to the list of available alternatives.

We’ve highlighted these contribution actions with a soft purple color to make them easy to spot all across the site.
- Features & Tags: Quickly check out the app’s main features and related tags to find similar apps. You will also be able to suggest and vote on features here.
- New App Activity Feed: This is where things get interesting! We've added this new section so you can stay updated with the most recent activities on each app page, including its latest news, user reviews, likes, and even new apps added as alternatives. This way, you can see how the community interacts with the app in real-time. We’ve got some exciting plans and surprises coming to this section, so keep an eye out!
