From certain points of view, smartphones are more useful and fun than computers, due to their support for countless apps. With Pokki, you can bring the convenience of mobile apps to your PC or laptop. The software allows you to find, install and organize your favorite apps with only a few clicks, in a modern and flexible environment. You can pin your frequently used apps to the task bar, receive notifications and more.

It takes about a minute to install Pokki's core components, but you don't have to make any configurations along the way. The software is absolutely free and it works on Windows XP, Vista, Win 7 and Win 8. Its hardware requirements are modest and you don't have to install any prerequisite tools.

Pokki provides a desktop interface on which you can explore a PC app store. The available apps are displayed as large thumbnails and it takes a single click to install them. They are grouped in different sections of the interface, based on their categories. You can also access special sections for new, popular or featured apps and search for specific items.

Installed apps can be found on a panel, which you may access by clicking a new button on the task bar. The apps are displayed as small icons in a grid and you can move them to other slots just by clicking and dragging them. A series of popular apps are displayed beneath the grid, with options for installing them. A search bar is displayed on the same panel, so you can find specific apps instantly. Furthermore, the software allows you to pin and unpin apps to the task bar, just like any Windows-based programs.

A good number of configuration options are available for the apps panel. You can place your apps on the left or right end of the task bar, change its size and colors and make a few changes to the software's behavior. A feature that is definitely worth mentioning is the possibility of displaying a sidebar on the apps panel, which is similar to the Start menu. You can explore your installed programs and add them to your apps list. Additionally, you can place various shortcuts on the sidebar, for Windows Explorer, the documents or downloads folder and many more.

Pros

You can find, install and manage numerous apps on your computer. The software allows you to manage your installed apps on a customizable panel, which can easily replace the Start menu.

Cons

There are no disadvantages to mention. Thanks to Pokki's intuitive design, your favorite apps, websites or documents will be just one click away.
