From catching slime to building towns, here’s a round-up of the best apps and independent games recently released and available to download now.
Facebook (update)
The new Windows 10 app is significantly faster than running Facebook on the internet, while the Facebook Live tile helps you find out what your friends and family are up to at a glance. You will only receive the notifications you want to see, so you don’t miss important updates. Windows Share support allows you to share posts to Facebook with just a few taps, regardless of what app you’re in; and keyboard shortcuts means you can do everything you normally do on Facebook, but in less time.
