Few developers have taken up Microsoft on its promise of Universal apps quite like Wunderlist.
Shrink the window and youll get a more compact interface.
Use a bigger window and youll have more buttons and space to work with.
Dropbox
Dropbox doesnt normally have anappin the traditional sense.
Its just a syncing service that runs in the background.
The Windows 10 Dropbox app, however, is a full file manager and online window.
It also looks great, which isnt easy for a calendar utility.
It even plays nice withCortana on the desktop.
The game recording features arent limited to Xbox games or even games at all, really.
So its even handy if you just need a basic screen recording app.
