Top Entertainment Apps You Should Totally Look into For Your Chromebook in 2019
With how busy our lives have become, time seems to move so fast that basic things like eating and drinking seem to be the only things we have time for.
As we tirelessly manoeuvre the daily challenges that life tends to present us with, we forget how much rest how bodies need. While hunkering down and recouping lost energy is still a thing, very few choose to do it partly due to migraine-inducing deadlines.
But, if you are someone that understands the importance of just kicking back and relaxing, maybe enjoy an episode from your favorite show, read a page from a novel, or just put that Ed Sheeran song on repeat, here are some of the apps I think you should have provided a Chromebook is your daily driver.
Netflix
With an international reach that includes 190 countries, Netflix has become the largest subscription-based streaming service available anywhere. With a huge catalogue of movies, shows, documentaries, just to name a few, Netflix has established itself as the go-to platform for entertainment.
Netflix offers a thirty-day free trial, giving you access to all its contents including its well-reviewed originals like The Stranger Things Series (a must-watch in my opinion), Ozark, Orange Is the New Black, for a whole month.
Google Play Music
One of the best podcasts and music streaming service available, Google Play Music boast a catalog that sports over 40 million songs. Though it comes as a free-form software and the default music player on almost every Android smartphone, Google Play Music also has a subscription section that offers additional privileges and features.

Being connected to the internet has its perks as you have unlimited access to everything from articles, viral videos, interesting websites, and so much more.
Sometimes there is so much information that we lose track of that interesting article we didn’t finish reading or that funny video we promise ourselves to watch later, but with Pocket, you no longer have to deal with the disappointment of getting sidetrack that you miss out on the interesting things you find on the internet.
Rather than emailing yourself links or letting tabs pile up in your browser, you can easily save articles, videos, recipes, and web pages to the app that you can later view.
The app also offers the ability to view saved content anytime even while offline.
YouTube
Already a popular video streaming service, YouTube gives users access to an incredible amount of videos ranging from Music, Short films, Education, Documentaries, as well as news clips. The site gives users the ability to rate, comment, and share their favourite videos as well as the ability to run their own personal channels where they can upload videos of their own.
If you are an avid YouTube user, you might be aware of the new improvements being made to the mobile version of the platform that includes that ability to download videos for offline veiwing.

Kindle Cloud Reader

With the Kindle Cloud Reader extension for Chrome, users can greatly improve their reading experience by customizing the app to their personal taste. You can choose the font size, text colour, background colour, number of reading columns, and more.
Not only that, users can add bookmarks, create and edit notes, and with Amazon’s Whispersync technology furthest page read is atomically synchronized across all devices associated that your account.
