Sep 06, 2020 The best Windows apps By Tyler Lacoma September 6, 2020 If you use a Windows PC, you might have discovered a wide range of apps to improve your experience and boost your computer’s performance. Windows 10's Microsoft Store has several good apps. However, it is not that easy to find good apps, especially if you don't know what to look for. I blame that on the horrible search feature and lack of proper visibility for good apps in the Store. So, here is a list of some of the best apps I found in my daily usage.

Windows 10 App Store

Windows 10's Microsoft Store has several good apps. However, it is not that easy to find good apps, especially if you don't know what to look for. I blame that on the horrible search feature and lack of proper visibility for good apps in the Store. So, here is a list of some of the best apps I found in my daily usage.

I've tried almost all the apps in this list and most of them have high ratings from its users. Most of the apps in this list are free but some of them are paid (i.e, require upfront payment or trial versions). The paid apps are clearly labeled as such.

The apps in this list are in no particular order, there is no ranking whatsoever. I just made the list as I go. Also, forgive me for not categorizing the apps. I would like to do that when there are a good number of apps in the list.

If you think I missed any of your favorite app(s) that you think should be listed here then let me know. I will give it a try and if it is good, I will add it to the list.

Best Windows 10 Store Apps
