Windows Central App
Windows Central — The app! for Android
We don't necessarily like it, but we know that many of our loyal Windows Central readers have jumped from the Windows Phone ship to another, healthier platform, such as Android. As such, we not only offer apps for Windows phones, tablets and PCs, we have an Android app that also delivers the goods.
Download from Google Play
23
Windows Central 'WC Forums' for iOS
Apple's iOS platform is hugely popular. We want our iPhone- and iPad-toting readers to have access to all the Windows Central content they want (need?) from wherever they are. So we created an iOS app, too. (It's called "WC Forums" but the app serves up all of our blog content and other site goodness, too.)
