Google Chrome Released A Slew Of New Apps That Are Intended To Increase Its Functionality And Make It More Smartphone And Tablet Friendly.
Google Chrome today on its fifth
birthday released a slew of new apps for its web browser that are intended to
increase its functionality and make it more Smartphone and tablet friendly.
Chrome made the announcement on its
blog and listed some of what consumers can expect to see with the new Chrome
apps.
Users can now work offline without
an Internet connection, connect to the cloud to save and access documents,
photos and videos on their hard drive or Google Drive and interact with their
connected devices through USB or Bluetooth.
As well, apps now update silently
and automatically, Chrome syncs its user’s apps so he or she can continue
working on any desktop, anywhere, and the Chrome App Launcher is now available
so apps can be launched individually outside of Chrome right from the task bar.
So – what kind of apps does Chrome
have up its sleeve? The Pixlr Touch Up app lets users quickly touch up,
crop, resize and adjust photos from their computer or Google Drive. It comes
with a myriad of different photo effects and works offline, so users can edit
on the go.
Wunderlist is a to-do list app,
which features voice dictation and desktop notifications, which remind users of
timely tasks and team updates. And for those on the move, users can take their
tasks with them from computer to computer, and work on or offline.
Finally, Cracking Sands is an
action-packed racing game that allows users to race against other participants
via the Internet, and is compatible with Xbox controllers connected via USB.
