It is true that at Weboftech we are fully dedicated to apps. Other than smartphone apps we here also discuss about Windows 8 Metro apps and Chrome Web Apps often. Many people complaints that several apps in the Chrome Web Store are merely bookmarks to respective web sites. At some extent it is true and see what Google says. “Many installable web apps are hosted apps—normal websites with a bit of extra metadata.” But there are several useful real Chrome Web Apps in the Chrome Web Store. This post covers such 5 best Chrome Offline Apps.
Offline Google Mail

By installing Offline Google Mail you can access your Gmail to read, respond, search, download and archive mail offline. Offline Google Mail supports keyboard shortcuts too. The key attraction of Offline Google Mail is that it is amazingly fast and its stunning user interface (UI). If you face slow loading of your regular Gmail web site, try this offline Gmail app.
Angry Birds
To survive Angry Birds need to take back the possession of its stolen eggs from the clever pigs. So Angry Birds began its fight for the stolen eggs with the pigs and every time Rovio, the developer, takes this fight to a new level. Play Rovio’s genuine Angry Birds in HD on your computer for free. I know many of you may have already played / playing Angry Birds on Chrome. It is one of the best app on Google Chrome that supports offline play. Poached Eggs, Easter Eggs, Cherry Blossom, Season’s Greedings, Mighty Hoax, Danger Above and Chrome Dimensions like few installments of this game are there. Some edition needs sign in that means you can’t play it offline. Angry Birds is one of the best offline Chrome app, right?
Scribble
I am not always keeping my scribbling pad and pen near to my computer table for taking notes. Because I am the habit of keeping instant notes on my PC’s desktop. Earlier I was using free Notepad (Windows) app for this purpose. I found it easy to use because I can launch it instantly whenever I need to take a note. It is there always in the context menu on desktop (New->Text Document). Now I rarely use .txt files (Notepad) for taking notes. When I am on Google Chrome I use Scribble for this purpose. It is a true Chrome app for note taking. Scribble note taking app is offline capable. Open Scribble and create a new Note. Set reminder also if you want. So Scribble alert you with a popup notification about it when the deadline meet. You can easily drag your notes to adjust them and also sync online to access your notes across your devices.
Numerics Calculator & Converter
Numerics Calculator & Converter is one of the best Chrome app for calculation purposes. It has an appealing UI with a large input box. Perform simple/complex calculations, convert currency, circle, force, length, area, volume, speed, time, information, temperature, mass, energy, power and pressure units quickly and easily. Numerics Calculator & Converter keeps your calculation history and shows it on the history panel that is also editable. It has a beautiful on/off onscreen keyboard that some of you may wish to use.
