  An App store is a place where you find, purchase & download apps to use on your PC or mobile device. Unlike programs which you have to process, vet, download & install yourself on your own computer, apps from approved stores are pre vetted & can be installed instantly. Many, if not most apps are free & unlike programs run in a sandbox with limited privileges (only the permissions granted on install for the app to function are actually allowed).

Choosing which apps to install can be difficult because there are so many 'bad' ones to sift through before committing. This seems to apply to all of the platforms like iOS, Google Play, & others. Usually it is best to pick specific apps from major developers or vendors that are well known.

Because Windows 7 does not run applications (only programs), it does not have access to any apps or approved store so misses out on all the features that may be useful within vetted, sandboxed, applications written for dedicated purposes.

Apps can be specific to achieving certain tasks quickly & give a stripped out more basic, usually faster full screen experience more dedicated to a task at hand. Complex & sometimes unnecessary cluttered or third party content that may be presented when trying to undertake a task on a full webpage is usually not present for example within a dedicated application, which can make the task easier to achieve, especially when mobile or using a portable device.
