Must-have apps for your Windows 10 device

After Microsoft released Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile a year ago, we saw a rise of new Universal apps in the Windows Store. Despite the fact that a gap between Android/iOS and Windows still exists, there are many great apps you can try right now. Here are 7 must-have apps for your Windows 10 device (phones too!):

Twitter

Twitter launched a brand new app for Windows 10 that works across all devices. Since launch a year ago, Twitter has released several updates to its app, improving its stability and adding new features. The last update introduced GIF support and notifications for headline news.

Enpass

The app features a built-in password generator, auto locking, auto-fill feature, the ability to import passwords from other managers, and more.

Poki for Pocket

Not a UWP app, but available for all platforms, including Windows Phone 8.1, Windows 10 Mobile and Windows 10 PC, Poki is a beautifully designed Pocket client to save links and read them later. The app automatically syncs content with Pocket, and comes with four app themes. You can update items even when offline.
