Apps that are useful only in limited areas, such as NPR One and IME.
Apps that are incompatible with 64-bit OS.
Apps that mainly concentrate on attacking and/or hacking.
Pure website wrappers.
Apps that can be categorized in multiple ways are categorized by what they are intended for; A note will be provided for compatibility issues of some very individual apps.
There is a blacklist at the end of the book containing apps that violate users' rights, security and privacy severely. These apps are to be avoided.
