We are living in an era that seems incomplete without technology. To be honest, our day starts and ends with modern-day technological devices. We cannot imagine our life without these devices and this is where applications come into the picture, these devices are incomplete without the apps. These apps add to the functionality of the device and there are numerous apps available for every kind of device based on the type of OS. And so at times, it becomes a confusing task to find the best and the right application for your device.
Downloading an app is easy, but finding the right one is the challenge. That is why we have stepped in to offer a helping hand. Here we will be looking at the top 7 of the Windows app that you should be looking up to in 2020, especially if you own a Windows 10 device and wish to add some notable apps to your inventory.
1.
Office 365
Microsoft
Office is not a new term for any of us. It has been one of the most popular
apps ever introduced by Microsoft. In the most recent times, Microsoft rolled
out a change in its Office package in the form of Office 365. This newer
upgrade consists of all the traditional MS Office Package applications and some
of the latest applications like Microsoft Teams, People, Sway, and others
included inside this single entity named Office 365. It comes in the form of
three different subscription packages. They differ in prices and provided
features, one being the Onedrive cloud storage space and Skype subscription
that is excluded in the latter most package version. With centralized access to
the applications like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Onenote, etc it is one of the
must-have applications.
2.
Snap Camera
With
most of your time being spent sitting in front of digital meeting platforms
like Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, etc Snap Camera could be a fun tool to
escape the daily boredom of virtual meetings and add a bit of fun by bringing
the famous Snapchat app lenses to your video chats. It lets you apply different
virtual filters to your face by AI recognition while using your computer/laptop
webcam. It includes all the most famous Snapchat filters, only this time, you
can apply them to the image captured by your PC's camera, perfect for when you
stream or make video calls to friends and family.
3.
TaskbarX
TaskbarX is yet another very cool personalizing and
styling app available for windows 10 which focuses primarily on minimalism and
customization. It enhances the look of the taskbar by placing the app icons at
the complete center of the taskbar. There are various other available features
such as changing the taskbar opacity, adding gradient and blur effect, etc. It
also lets you customize the transition animations, that come into play while
opening or minimizing an app, and also modify the transition speed. Further to
counter the clutter issue associated with the traditional windows taskbar,
TaskbarX provides options to hide/unhide the start button and also the windows
search bar. It is a must-have app on your pc especially if you are a fan of
minimalism.
4.
SoundSwitch
It is one of the most simple but very handy and
useful apps. As the name suggests it allows users to easily switch back and
forth between different playback devices that are connected to
the system. It also lets you chose the device you would like to use as the
microphone and perform related actions such as mute/unmute your microphone. You
can assign global hotkeys for doing all the above-mentioned stuff and no matter
what screen you are on, you can toggle between your sound playback devices or
recording/microphone devices and or mute/unmute yourself. Suppose you are
listening to an audio on your speaker but then for some reason you want to
switch it to your headphone, it comes in very handy at such moments. It also
allows you to create profiles that facilitate switching between speaker and
headphones depending on the app you have opened.
5.Your Phone
Don’t have access to your phone for the time being? Be it for any reason like
plugged in for charging or kept at a distance from your comfort zone. No
worries the current app will ease things for you. This app allows you to sync
your phone with your PC to get instant access to everything you love on your
phone, right from your PC. It facilitates making and taking calls from the PC.
It allows you to keep up with your conversations, manage your mobile
notifications and also view your recent photos.
6. Spotify
We have had enough of the productivity and utility apps. Now we’ll look at an
entertainment app namely Spotify. Gone are the days when people used to
download songs to listen to them on their PC. The modern era is taken over by
online music streaming apps such as Spotify that allows users to listen to
online music of their choice and even download them to facilitate offline
in-app accessibility. Using Spotify, you can stream from millions of songs and
even podcasts and listen to your favorite artists and enjoy music in Hindi,
English, Tamil, Telugu, and many more languages.
7.
Whatsapp Desktop
At last but not the least, we have the desktop
version of the popular messaging app Whatsapp.
Whatsapp
desktop has all the basic features of the WhatsApp mobile version like
sending/receiving messages, attaching pictures, videos, documents, contacts,
etc.
It
allows you to seamlessly synchronize all of your chats to your computer. Now
you might be thinking that all these things can be done via Whatsapp web then
why to unnecessarily download a separate app. Well, you are correct to some
extent but there’s one feature that lets this app stand out from WhatsApp Web
and that is the added functionality of Voice and Video calls. You cannot
make or receive Whatsapp voice or video calls via Whatsapp web but with the
desktop app, you can.
These were some of the must-have apps for any
individual according to me. Whether you are a student or a working professional
you’ll definitely love these apps.
What are you waiting for?
Go and give these apps a try.
