This short article describes how to turn Genius for Apps on or off. This is a feature that will help you discover new apps based on app purchases you’ve made for folks using iOS 6 and below.
With the introduction of iOS 7, Apple no longer offers the Genius feature
Instead, iOS 7 uses a similar feature called Near Me to help discover new iOS apps in the App Store.

Using iOS 8, 9, or 10?
For folks running iOS 8, 9, or 10, look at your Top Charts or Explore tabs to find interesting and recommended apps. 
And for folks using iOS 11 or 12
