Computer shop news: Frankly speaking, compared with Win8 a year ago, Win8.1 has significantly improved in its own quality and the number and quality of APP, especially The addition of third-party vendors has made the user's choice range much larger. Compared with the original APP, third-party applications generally have better performance in terms of detailed design and functional experience, and most of them are easier to get started than the original application. In today's article, Xiaobian will give you a few third-party applications that can replace “Original” and see who is your favorite!

<; NetEase News " VS Native & "Information”
Recommended Index: ★★★★★
Reasons for the list: follow-up posts, columns, pictures to see things, full-scale Metroization, direct video and video playback
“Information” is the first batch of Microsoft official applications to enter the Win8 platform Although after more than a year of perfection, the new generation "information" has been much stronger than the original, but there are still many unsatisfactory places. In contrast, the domestic “Netease News” is obviously more grounded.
& nbsp; Netease News & rdquo; The interface is divided into three major sections: columns, atlas, and posts. The columns are the most familiar news categories, and users can freely add and delete sections according to their preferences. Atlas is a standard portrayal of “seeing things”, you can understand domestic events without having to read words, and it is definitely the best choice for modern people. As for the posts, it is the killer function of NetEase News. It is necessary to know that NetEase's comments have always been famous among the netizens.

The half-screen design used in the list of posts, but not the native split screen of Win8.1. In addition to the quick follow-up bar that is fixed at the bottom of the interface, each post in the post can also be clicked to start the operation. Specifically, each post provides the "Top", "Top", "Reply", "Replication", three buttons are optional, the size is also quite large, well to take care of the user experience of the touch screen.

Compared with the system's native information, every news in Netease News is a standard Metro design, and there will be no native information occasionally jumping to IE. The problem, even when there is a video in the article, can be played directly without having to call a third-party program. At the same time, a more user-friendly design is that you can adjust the font size as you like, and this is a very careful function for tablets with obvious size differences.

“Hola”VS“Sina Weibo”
Recommended index: ★★★★< Br>
Reasons for the list: Timeline mode, not anti-human detailed design
As the most popular microblogging platform in China, Win8 version of Sina Weibo client naturally has a high click-through rate. However, just like the mobile APP, the official application is always a little bit anti-human, and even the most basic group browsing is a long-awaited one.
In contrast, Hola's design is much more obvious. After entering the interface, you will find that all Weibo are connected by a timeline, plus the typographic style of the wrong peak display. The advantage is very obvious, that is, the timeliness of the more convex microblogging.

The same is true for the Weibo page. After a while, you will find that Hola's design is far more scientific than the official version. The comment box is placed directly on the interface and can be used at will, and the non-floating design does not obscure the original text when typing. In the upper right corner, "I" is another place worth boasting. Compared with the official app, this bar is a permanent design, which means you can view it anytime, anywhere, whether you are in Weibo Square or just a Weibo page. @, Favorites, comments, and one-click send Weibo. Of course, there is another more practical use, which is to quickly switch the current Weibo account.

Hola also has a long-image browsing function like the official version, and has a one-click save mechanism. Just the built-in link can't be viewed directly with Hola, you have to use an external browser. However, due to the compatibility with Win8.1's split-screen mechanism, the actual trial is not a headache, and the actual experience is good.
