My favorite apps, such as the productivity-focused Due reminder app, Deliveries for tracking packages, the excellent Pixelmator image editor and the Overcast podcatcher aren't in the Windows store. It's being opened up to third party sellers, such Epic Games (whose spat with Apple led to Fortnite getting kicked off Apple devices.)īut this isn't really a thing I care about a whole lot for me, personally. There's a lot of good being done in the Windows store, the app store inside of Windows.

The Apple third party apps I want aren’t on Windows

How to fix it: More widgets, less fluffy news. But still I get served chum like the above. I try to do my best to avoid this chuff: in the "followed interests" section on Microsoft's MSN site, I've only checked off TV, Movies, Music and Coronavirus. Stories like "Amal Clooney Wore a Gorgeous Cutout Dress with George for 'The Tender Bar' Premiere," "BREAKING: Starting defensive lineman will miss the remainder of the season," and "Bindi Irwin Shares Sunny Snapshots of 'Princess' Grace, 6 Months, Smiling with Tongue Out." It's a series of news items that, were they shared on Twitter, would generate a series of dismissive replies. Then there's the section under the Widgets, which appears to be a holdover from something else. (It's not very tailored to my interests - I have done nothing to suggest I'd want to watch Trolls World Tour). The other apps, such as Watchlist Stocks, Sports, Esports (LOL), Traffic and Photos didn't do much for me, and the so-called "Entertainment" app is merely a very basic, bland and not-at-all recent set of recommendations for what to watch.

The only other included widgets that piqued my interest were Weather, To Do (I've got my own preferred productivity app, but this is a nice touch) and Entertainment.
