Browsing for an App

You can browse the App gallery and add Apps as you find them.

Tip: You might want to check your settings to see if you’re saving your changes locally or to your Yahoo! account. If you save them to your account, you can use your customized Toolbar on any computer.

 

Here’s How

  1. Open the Edit Apps tab. (Remind me how.)

    The gallery displays several pages of Apps on the right and a list of categories to browse on the left.
