You should press on the app's on-screen icon until a menu opens and then tap on Uninstall to remove the app. Unless it's a malicious app, it should uninstall, leaving nothing behind.

What do you mean by changed all your apps?  I would imagine simply uninstalling the app would reverse any changes that were made.

It's hard for me to explain it because I'm a moron when it comes to these phones.
But like the search bar it turned to a light blue color instead of white and all the other apps are like a blue color

So, uninstall the app and see if it goes back to normal. If it does, then don't reinstall the app if the changes annoy you. You can also install a theme that may override the changes. Posting a screen shot might be helpful.

I don't think they can help you at the store, they are there to sell you a device, not offer tech support.  If they can, they will just do what I suggested.

 

It would behoove you to learn more about your phone, so you don't have to run back to the store for everything.  I have found that the less people know about devices they own, the more problems they seem to have.

@Trikemike What app is this? I would suspect that if a "health app" did this, it is a malicious app.
