I know i am missing something here....but how on earth do you launch this?


Chrome used to take you to the apps page on a new tab by default, which was really convenient. Several releases ago they replaced that default with an utterly redundant search bar on new tab pages for reasons I can't begin to understand. Anyway, you can just go to chrome://apps and bookmark that page.


Seriously, it's a pain in the ass. Click the apps launcher in the upper left of the Chrome start page.


I'm glad to know I'm not the only person who struggled with this.


you are not. I'm quite sure this used to be easier.


Ah much appreciated, i never would have found that.


You can always bring a list of apps up by entering 'chrome://apps' in the url bar.



Chrome's official 'App Launcher' is your friend https://chrome.google.com/webstore/launcher :-)


Add it to your favorites bar and then it will be much easier for you to launch it without going to the play store !


Upper left just below the Forward and Back buttons is an Apps button.

Most people don't seem to see it as anything more than a bookmark. I searched the menus for it and did not find it. And it was sitting right there.
