Getting our apps

Using the Microsoft Store

Most Metre2 apps install through the Microsoft Store - the same built-in app store that comes with every copy of Windows. If you've never used it before, here's what it is and why it's the easiest, safest way to get software onto your PC.

Checked and signed by Microsoft

Every app in the Store is scanned and signed before it's listed. There's no hunting for an installer on a random website and hoping it's genuine - the Store is the source, and Windows trusts it by default.

Updates itself

New versions install quietly in the background. You always end up with the latest release without downloading anything by hand or clicking through an updater.

Free to try, easy to remove

Most Metre2 apps offer a free trial straight from their Store listing - no card details up front. If an app isn't for you, uninstalling it takes one click, the same way you'd remove any other Windows app.

Installing an app in four steps

1

Click "Download" on the app's page

Every Metre2 app page on this site links straight to that app's Store listing - there's nothing to search for.

2

The Store app opens automatically

Windows opens the built-in Store app and takes you straight to the listing, with a description, screenshots and reviews.

3

Select "Get" or "Install"

No account creation, no payment details for a trial. The app downloads and installs itself in the background.

4

Open it from your Start menu

Once installed, the app appears in your Start menu like anything else on your PC - pin it to the taskbar if you'll use it often.
