5 Using apps Chrome is a lightweight but powerful operating system that gives you access to thousands of free and paid apps to let you work and play wherever you go. Managing apps You can expand the productivity and entertainment capabilities of your Chrome device with free or purchased apps that can be downloaded directly to your device. To find and install apps, visit the Chrome webstore at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/user/ purchases#user/purchases. Using the store requires a Google account, but the store maintains a list of every app you have ever installed, even if you've uninstalled them. This way, you'll never lose an app due to reformatting the operating system. Apps update automatically, ensuring that you always have the most recent version installed. To open an app you've installed: ▲ Click the launcher icon and select the app from the list, or select the icon for the app you want from the apps pinned to the shelf at the bottom of the main screen. To pin or unpin an app to the shelf on the main screen: ▲ Click the launcher icon , and select the app. Right-click or two-finger tap the app, and then select Pin to shelf. To unpin an app, right-click or two-finger tap it and select Unpin. To uninstall an app: ▲ Click the launcher icon , and select the app. Right-click or two-finger tap the app, and then select Remove from Chrome.
