Some Of The Best Windows Apps To Download*

https://www.pexels.com/photo/person-holding-space-gray-iphone-x-1440722/ 


As most people probably know, traditionally Windows does not boast a range of apps that would have rivalled other stores. Nevertheless, with the new Windows versions, there are finally some killer apps to be found. Gone are the days when the Windows Store was paling in comparison to the iTunes App Store!


So, now let’s get to the fun part; what are the top killer apps for Windows? 


5) Quick Note


Putting together shopping lists and taking notes for exams has never been easier! ‘Quick Note’ may not be the most glamorous and exciting app one will come across but it is certainly something which will get a lot of usage out of it. This basic app does exactly what its name indicates, and it will certainly come in useful for anybody. You can use it for a whole host of things, such as tracking your profit and loss from VIP casinos, putting together a cleaning schedule, and much more!


4) Cut the Rope


This app is perfect for any individual who is looking for a game which will provide them with endless hours of addictive fun. So how does ‘Cut the Rope’ actually work? Basically, there is a hungry frog at the bottom of the screen who wants some candy. However, the candy the frog desires is attached to a rope or several ropes. The person playing the game has to cut the ropes in such a manner that the candy lands in the frog’s mouth. Obviously, this becomes a lot harder as the individual progresses to the next level. 


3) Slacker Radio


There are only two words which need to be said in order to win people over with this app: free music! Basically, ‘Slacker Radio’ is an app which boasts a whole host of radio stations which are just waiting to be listened to.


2) YouCam


‘YouCam’ is the ultimate photo and video editing app. In order to utilize this application, a webcam and a microphone are required (these are usually inbuilt in all computers nowadays anyway). With ‘YouCam’ individuals can shoot videos and take pictures and then edit them with a whole host of features, such as; lighting effects and noise reduction. Once the video or image is edited to suit the individual in question it can then be uploaded to a whole host of mediums such as YouTube and Facebook. Who knows, ‘YouCam’ could pave the way for the next YouTube sensation! 


1) Fitball


It may not be as useful as ‘Quick Note’, but quite frankly; who cares? So what exactly is ‘Fitball’? Basically, it is an app which relates to health and fitness (as if the name of it didn’t give that away). What it involves is the person in question hitting balls (not too hard, nobody wants a cracked screen!) that appear on your screen. Why’s this so great? Well, you can see your reflection in the computer screen which will show which parts of your body are getting hotter. Keeping fit has never been such fun!

Keep Yourself Occupied While You're Isolating*

Have you been told that you need to isolate? Maybe you're waiting for the results of a test for COVID-19 or someone in your household has tested positive, so now you're stuck at home for a while. Or perhaps you've been sheltering at home as much as possible to shield your health. If you have to isolate or you're just preparing for a future time when you might have to, the fear of getting bored is definitely something that you might be facing. Catching up on your Netflix list might be a good start, but what do you do once you've run out of things to watch? Try these ideas to stay occupied.


Play Some Games


If you don't have all of your real-life obligations to occupy you, playing some fun games is a great way to entertain yourself and relax. It's something you might deny yourself usually because it feels like you should be doing other things. But now you have plenty of time to have some fun, there are all kinds of games you can play. Whether you check out the free spins no deposit 2021 casino games to try and win some money or get yourself a brand new PlayStation5, you can find games that you enjoy. Maybe there's a game you used to love that you want to pick up again.

Start a New Hobby


Having to isolate could be the perfect opportunity to begin a new hobby. And once you're free to move around again, you can keep it going and do it in your spare time. Maybe you have some supplies for a hobby you wanted to start but never got around to doing. Or you could order some things to your home if you need any materials or equipment to get started. On the other hand, maybe there's a hobby you can pick up right away, like writing.


Stay in Touch with Others


Being stuck at home can feel lonely, especially if you're having to isolate on your own. Fortunately, modern technology makes it easier to keep in touch with friends and family, and even to make some new friends during your time in isolation. You can stay in touch with people you know through social media, phone calls, video calls, text messaging, and more. And if you're looking to connect with new people, there are plenty of ways to do that too, from forums to Facebook groups.

Do Things Around the House


It might not be the most exciting thing, but not being able to go out means you don't have much excuse for not getting things done at home. All of those jobs you've been putting off, from fixing that scratch in the radiator paint to replacing that weird light bulb that you're not quite sure how to remove, could be tackled while you're at home. It's a good idea to make your home look and feel better if you're going to be seeing more of it.


Being stuck at home might not be fun, but there are things you can do to occupy yourself and stay entertained.

Christmas Bucket List


It's coming up to Christmas quite quickly now, and aside from working my lil butt off at the supermarket deli counter - where I live 99% of my life - I wanted to try and do other things when I was free of my shifts. I've had a few ideas, and found more online, plus have seen a few events about the place that I'd like to go to. Here is a bucket list of things I'd like to do, as well as other that I hope you would like too!

This year is a little different for everyone, due the ongoing pandemic, but I hope that these are things I can do in the new few days before the big day itself!

  1. Send out Christmas cards
  2. Decorate house/bedroom
  3. Make festive cookies
  4. Make a Christmas song playlist
  5. Watch Love Actually, or any other Christmas movie!
  6. Make a festive craft, like paper snowflakes
  7. Wander around an area with lots of Christmas lights on houses
  8. Decorate a gingerbread house
  9. Donate to charities
  10. Snuggle up in bed with a Christmas book

What will you be getting up to over the next week, leading up to the big day? Let me know! Hope you have a great day and keep safe :)
