There is now a whole range of Windows 10 apps in the official Microsoft Store. But it is not so easy to separate the good from the bad applications and some programs offer even more than many PC owners expect. We present the ten best apps.
Most Windows users are still not used to using apps from the
official Microsoft Store and often these apps also have a bad reputation. Perhaps not without reason, but there are also some pearls in the official Windows 10 app store that every PC or tablet user should take a closer look at.
1. Facebook
Yes, of course there is a Facebook app for Windows 10 and this is particularly beneficial for tablet users. In contrast to the web interface in the browser, the app is specifically optimized for the touchscreen, which noticeably simplifies operation. If you want to keep an eye on your contacts and profiles, you should urgently download the app.
2. Messenger
Just like on the smartphone, the messenger is also outsourced to a separate app on the PC and it works pretty well in both desktop and tablet mode. There is no more convenient way, especially for quick chat in between.
3. Netflix
Of course, you could just use Netflix on the PC in the browser window, but then you voluntarily forego the best features. For example, you can use the app to download individual films and series for offline use. The integrated video player is also significantly more capable than most of the browser's own players. While you can only watch Netflix in 720p via Google Chrome or Firefox, the app even allows 4K resolution.
4. Adobe Photoshop Express
With Adobe Photoshop Express you get a full-fledged image editing program in the Microsoft Store, which is optimized for the use of the touchscreen and supports active pens like the Surface Pen. The basic version of the app is similar to Android or iOS and is free of charge. Through in-app purchases, the tool can also be pimped into a real professional program.
5. Awesome tube
No, there is still no official YouTube app for Windows 10 other than Xbox One. However, if you are looking for something similar, then you should find it with Awesome Tube. This unofficial YouTube app gives you easy access to your favorite videos and channels.
