    Or is the Store still filled with trash?

    * In case it's not clear, by "Windows Apps" I'm specifically referring to what Microsoft in the past has branded "Metro apps", "Modern UI apps" or "Universal apps" and by "Store" I'm specifically referring to Microsoft's app store.

    I've only used Windows apps on my phone so far, so I can't really recommend much. Maybe you should specify what you're looking for.

    There's nothing in particular. The question was asked on a whim, as I realized that I've never visited the Store in Windows 10.

    This is a pretty broad question. Kinda of like asking if there's any good Android apps... But I don't think there's anything there that you can't live without or can't get through a traditional third party desktop app.
