Useful Apps
Hi [accessally_user_firstname],
‘Apps’ are small software programmes that run inside or independently of the web browser (i.e. by themselves in the computer just like a piece of software).
Chrome apps run in their own window and are installed on your web Chrome browser. They can run offline, and come from the Chrome web store.
These Chrome apps have been carefully curated. Use the filters to show various sub-categories such as:
- The application it is for: Documents, Sheets, Gmail, Calendar, Drive, etc.
- The audience it is intended for.
- A quick description.
- Alternatively, you can search for something which will filter the entire list.
Watch this movie to learn more about this type of ‘web app’.

Clicking any of these icons will launch that item in the Chrome web store for you – make sure you read the description of what it does before installing it.
Once installed, you can access the apps you’ve got by clicking the icon that looks like this top left corner of your Chrome web browser.
