Advice Request Which Microsoft Store apps do you guys use?

[razorfancy]

Excluding the pre-installed apps that come with Windows 10 by default, which free Microsoft Store apps and/or games do you guys use?

Free games I play: Asphalt Xtreme and Asphalt 9 Legends.
Free apps I use: WPS Office, Film Forth(Video Editor) and Adobe Photoshop Express

I am asking this just to know if there is some nice free Microsoft Store apps that you guys use that I dont know about.

I don't use any Store apps. Only Calculator.
For timer, I use this:

Hourglass - The simple countdown timer for Windows

Hourglass is the most advanced simple countdown timer for Windows. Just enter a time in just about any format, and hit Enter.

I sometimes play Microsoft Solitaire. It's a good game to play when you're bored on a Zoom call. I've played MS Mahjong in the past, but not currently.

@razorfancy I play Asphalt 9 also! I have that and two other games i use from the Microsoft store, Disney magic kingdom and Crossy Road. But for the most part I HATE using the store and prefer to install any program I can seperate the old way. The store seems and feels like it was just thrown on and is sooo clunky.

You know this will break Windows features?
Microsoft also provide some updates / fixes in past only over Store.

They also move programs to Store so you wil cripple down your system for none reason
