There are, literally, a ton of apps updated on the Windows Store and/or many join the forces of Windows 10 on a daily basis. So much so that it becomes impossible to cover all of them! Keeping that in mind, we bring you a rundown of all the apps that joined the store and/or were updated recently:
Playcast
Webrox, the makers of Tubecast, have brought us a pretty sweet new app called Playcast!
Playcast is an awesome Mediaplayer for playing or casting your videos, songs or pictures to your TV, Chromecast, Chromecast Audio, Apple TV (AirPlay), DLNA Smart TV, Internet Box, XBOX One, XBOX 360 etc.

The Ring Video Doorbell
After having released for Windows 10 a few months ago, the app is now available for Windows 10 Mobile!
” We are excited to launch an updated Ring app on Windows 10! As with the previous version you can talk to (or just observe) visitors at your door from the comfort of your Windows 10 device. This latest release has numerous bug fixes, performance and stability improvements including optimizations for Windows 10 mobile devices.”
“New features include filtering, deleting and sharing of recorded events. Live call zooming – Take a closer look at details in a live call by zooming/panning the video, “Stealth mode” answering – we’ve significantly extended the incoming ring/motion alert time out period. Now you can sit back and observe visitors without having to answer incoming ring/motion alerts.”
This is pretty sweet and makes more sense. Now, you can find out who’s at your door on the go. What a time to be alive!

Flipkart
Earlier this week, we had reported about Flipkart’s UWA. It seems that the app is now available to public as a beta!

For the lucky ones, find the app here.
Cortanium
Cortanium is a fun add-on app for the already resourceful Cortana and it has just received an Update!
“The most heavily requested command for Cortanium has been to enable Cortana to “Shutdown”, “Restart”, “Suspend”, and “Log Off” with your voice…and now Cortanium can do it! So you can say “Hey Restart”. Cool! NOTE: This additional functionality does require a quick ClickOnce install for a one-time configuration. Users enabling this feature may get prompted by Windows 10 to “be sure” they want to install it…but it’s 100% safe for them.”
Cortanium is now also available for the first time in India, Canada, and Australia, in addition to the U.S. and UK, but just for English.
