I would like to rephrase this as not to imply the use of Apple's "App Store", but be applicable to any software vendor.

I propose the following:

Similarly, here it starts out with "third party application"...

and then says App... why don't we just stay consistent and use "program".

Not that it really matters, its meaning is perfectly clear, but it's been bugging me so I thought I'd share.
