I installed apps. They seem to have disappeared. When I search them in the App store and click 'open', nothing happens.

Title pretty self explanatory. I installed several apps that seem to have disappeared from the folders they were in.

However, I can still see them if I search them in the app store (It shows "open" instead of install. But when I click Open nothing at all happens)

I can also see them if I go to updates and look at purchased. All the apps are there but they not shown in the folders I dragged them to, and if I click open, nothing at all happens, And help would be great!

Thanks.

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.4

You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.

Have you enabled restrictions? If so turn them off in Settings > General Restrictions.

Restrictions are already off. It's weird. It seemed to have happened a few days ago I was going through my apps and removing some. I am sure I did not delete these ones, but when I went to use them they were not in the folder. So I checked the App store and it had the "open" icon (which should indicate they are STILL on my phone [and not in the cloud], however they are NOWHERE on the phone and if I click open, it's just nothing happens)
