a memory; and

at least one processor connected to the memory and the transceiver, the at least one processor configured to:

receive application data and biometric data, wherein the biometric data corresponds to an application identified by the application data and the application is currently being operated on the first electronic device while the biometric data is captured;

generate a rating of biometric categories based on the biometric data for the application related to the application data;

store the rating in a database corresponding to the application in an online store;

store the rating in a first profile corresponding to the first electronic device;

identify at least one similar profile by comparing the rating with other ratings for the application from a plurality of other profiles; and

generate a recommendation for a second application based on a similar rating to the rating of the application from ratings of other applications from the at least one similar profile.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the biometric categories include a motion intensity, an emotional intensity, and a difficulty.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the recommendation is generated using collaborative filtering or content collaborative filtering.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

update a recommendation collection for the application in the online store based on the rating; and

generate a recommendation for the application to another electronic device using the updated recommendation collection.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the rating represents at least one of: a motion intensity, an emotional intensity, or difficulty of the application.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the biometric data includes data related to at least one of EEG activity, sweating, or eye tracking of the first electronic device.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the biometric data is generated by a head mountable display (HMD) device in communication with a smartphone.

8. A method for managing an online store in a server, the method comprising:

receiving application data and biometric data, wherein the biometric data corresponds to an application identified by the application data and the application is currently being operated on a first electronic device while the biometric data is captured;

generating a rating based on the biometric data for the application related to the application data;

storing the rating in a database corresponding to the application or content in an online store;

storing the rating in a first profile corresponding to the first electronic device;

identifying at least one similar profile by comparing the rating with other ratings for the application from a plurality of other profiles; and

generating a recommendation for a second application based on a similar rating to the rating of the application from ratings of other applications from the at least one similar profile.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the recommendation is generated using collaborative filtering or content collaborative filtering.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

updating a recommendation collection for the application in the online store based on the rating; and

generating a recommendation for the application to another electronic device using the updated recommendation collection.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the rating represents at least one of: a motion intensity, an emotional intensity, or difficulty of the application.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the biometric data includes data related to at least one of: EEG activity, sweating, or eye tracking of the first electronic device.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the biometric data is generated by a head mountable display (HMD) device in communication with a smartphone.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a computer program, the computer program comprising computer readable program code that when executed causes at least one processor to:

receive application data and biometric data, wherein the biometric data corresponds to an application identified by the application data and the application is currently being operated on a first electronic device while the biometric data is captured;

generate a rating of biometric categories based on the biometric data for the application related to the application data;

store the rating in a database corresponding to the application in an online store;

store the rating in a first profile corresponding to the first electronic device;

identify at least one similar profile by comparing the rating with other ratings for the application from a plurality of other profiles; and

generate a recommendation for a second application based on a similar rating to the rating of the application from ratings of other applications from the at least one similar profile.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the recommendation is generated using collaborative filtering or content collaborative filtering.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , further comprising computer readable program code that when executed causes the at least one processor to:

update a recommendation collection for the application in the online store based on the rating; and

generate a recommendation for the application to another electronic device using the updated recommendation collection.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the rating represents at least one of: a motion intensity, an emotional intensity, or difficulty of the application.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the biometric data includes data related to at least one of: EEG activity, sweating, or eye tracking of the first electronic device.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 14 , wherein the biometric data is generated by a head mountable display (HMD) device in communication with a smartphone.

20. A head mountable display (HMD) device comprising:

a transceiver to transmit and receive one or more signals;

a plurality of sensors configured to capture biometric data;

a memory; and

at least one processor connected to the memory, the transceiver, and the plurality of sensors, the at least one processor configured to:

identify an application or content operating while the biometric data is captured, wherein the biometric data corresponds to the application or content currently operating on the HMD;

based on the captured biometric data, generate a rating of biometric categories for the application or content operating on the HMD;

transmit information regarding the rating to an online store; and

receive a recommendation for a second application based on a similar rating to the rating of the application from ratings of other applications from at least one similar profile, where the at least one similar profile is identified by comparing the rating with other ratings for the application from a plurality of other profiles.

21. The HMD device of claim 20 , wherein the rating addresses at least one of: a motion intensity, an emotional intensity, or difficulty of the application.
