2Windows 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

3Windows 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.)
