Please note: this feature has undergone a name change from “MYAPPS- [MYAPPS: applications that the owners of the networks can build within them to add additional functionality to the content or to the entire network] - ” TO “My Extensions”
My Extensions are the new way to build your custom application inside MYETV, for your networks or your contents- [Contents: every content intended as text, images, audio or video] - ; with the new My Extensions Platform- [Platform: the set of the main domain and all the subdomain of a particular website; also the computer architecture and equipment using a particular operating system] - (MyExt) you can interact with every aspect of MYETV you can add features to your account- [Account: an Account contains the personal information that is assigned to those who register and access with email and password] - or you can develop your own app, for all your audience or only for some country (with the geoip feature), to run with MYETV. The apps you created could be free or not, or maybe could have in the inside ads or others payments services (MYCOINS or others available payments gateway); to build an Extension you must press the button “MANAGE MY EXTENSIONS” choose your network- [Network of Contents: is the channel in which owners can post their content and the audience can see the contents posted by the owners] - and deploy one of the predefined My Extension, follow the instructions on the screen (type the name of the app and the description) and then select a position and the app will be delivered to you and you can start to customize it. Number of My Extensions that you can deploy are limited, read the “LIMITATIONS” section of this document to know how many apps you can deploy in your account for every of your network of contents- [Network of Contents: is the channel in which owners can post their content and the audience can see the contents posted by the owners] - .
LIMITATIONS
My Extensions can be deployed only by registered users. My Extensions can be deployed only if the main account of the registered user is verified.
My Extensions are limited for every account; the algorithm take care of how many MYCOINS the user have in the wallet or if any of the special accounts- [Special Accounts: an account with elevated privileges and/or access to special sections] - are activated.

My Extensions can collect statistical informations on how many users open it; data are anonymous and aggregated the owner of the app can filter it, in real-time, thanks to the nationality of the view, the date and time of the view and the position of the view for the selected My Extension.
POSITIONS
Positions are where the app will show it’s content- [Contents: every content intended as text, images, audio or video] - ; we have setup 4 different positions for My Extensions and every Extension could have different positions available or not; you can choose where to show the app for every of your contents or networks. Do not forget to assign a position or the Extension cannot be shown to the audience.
List of available Positions are:

The “Content” position is for the apps that work under the content (directly in the content’s page); this position could be limited for some sort of apps. The My Extension will be always visible in the “edit content” page, to assign it to a specifi content. - Network
The “Network” position is for the apps that work inside the network’s page; every network page have a dedicated section for My Extensions, under the playwall or inside the network page; there you will find the list of all the My Extensions builded for that network (if the owner has selected this position for the App). You can edit the option for this Extension inside the same My Extensions page. - MyRC

With My Extensions the owners of the contents network- [Network of Contents: is the channel in which owners can post their content and the audience can see the contents posted by the owners] - are able to bring native, interactive and productivity apps into their contents published/shared with MYETV. When an Extension is displayed to the public, it contains all the information to warn that it is an application created by a user; for this reason it is forbidden to modify such information so as not to limit the responsibilities of the owner of the content- [Content Owner: the owner(s) of a content (usually includes all owners of the network that shared it)] - network.
