It appears that - you realise something based of personal observations experiances. It would appear that - you now believe something because of facts or information you have been given or seen which you believed different prior to that point. I don't think that I have discribed that very well so hope somebody can make that clearer for you.

To me, the use of the word 'would' ('it would appear that') makes the statement more tentative and/or less direct.
