Turn ANY Website into an App for your Surface!

With the Microsoft Edge web browser you can turn any website into an app for your Surface! And using Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome you can install Progressive Web Apps or PWAs quickly and easily. This is especially handy since many apps are not available in the Microsoft Store.

In fact, many apps that you'll find in the Microsoft Store, the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store are actually PWAs. So they can be installed through your browser directly without a store at all, if you know where to look.

So here is a list of Progressive Web Apps (PWA) that we've tried on our Surfaces:

Twitter - https://twitter.com/
Outlook.com - https://outlook.office.com/mail/inbox
The Office App -  https://www.office.com/?auth=1
Sketch.io - https://sketchpad.app/
Spotify https://open.spotify.com/
Uber - https://uber.com/
