Some great Windows 10 apps for PCs and Phones

The Universal Windows Platform allows developers to create Windows apps that run across the whole range of Windows 10 devices – from phones, to tablets and desktop PCs. Here are some of the best Universal apps we’ve found:

Toby Shopping Reminder [download]

Toby is one of the few shopping apps that really solves the common problem – to forget buying something in the store. Thanks to Toby, a location-based shopping assistant, you can just open the app and select the things you need to buy.

Once you are close to a supermarket Toby will remind you to buy what you need. You can modify the reminder, add notes, limit the reminder to a certain store, and select times of the day you want to receive notifications.

AppRaisin [download]

AppRaisin allows you to find new apps and learn if there are updates and new releases. The app is something like a community that decides which apps deserve to be noticed. You can suggest, rise and comment apps and games.

Dynamic Theme [download]

The app can automatically change your background and lockscreen photo based on the selected mode and source. Dynamic Theme has a Windows 10-like UI and you may even think this is a native app. You can set the daily Bing and Windows Spotlight pictures as background/lock screen and even let the app save these photos locally.

One of the best features of the Dynamic Theme app is the ability to select a slideshow mode for background / lock screen and add a local photo album folder. Then you can personalize how often the background / lock screen photo is being changed: 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours or 1 day. You can also sync settings across your Windows 10 devices.

FitBit [download]

Fitbit is a top app for tracking all-day activity, workouts and health. The app uses your phone’s data or connects to a Fitbit tracker to measure steps, calories, distance, weight, and more.

6tin [download]

Popular third-party Tinder app 6tin has been rewritten to support Windows 10 devices. 6tin v 3.0 is a universal Windows app that can work in Continuum mode on your Lumia 950 & 950 XL.

The new version of 6tin comes with an improved design, optional dark theme, interactive notifications – reply directly from the toasts, the ability to create pick-up lines, synchronization between devices, and more.
