Welcome back to Five Apps to Try This Weekend<\/strong>, Softonic\u2019s weekly show that casts an eye over the last seven day\u2019s digital downloads and gives you our experts’ top picks.<\/p>\n

This week our line up contains not one, but two connectivity apps designed to further blur the every fuzzy divide between PC and mobile<\/strong>. The first of these is Pushbullet (Android<\/a> | iPhone<\/a>), which allows you to easily share data between devices. This is followed by Chrome Remote Desktop<\/a>, a plugin that lets you access your home computer on the move.<\/p>\n

If you want a little more levity for your weekend<\/strong>, we also have two games to try. Both Harold<\/a> and Evoland<\/a> are titles that look simple at first glance, but quickly grow in complexity as you move through their increasingly challenging worlds.<\/p>\n

Finally, we have a preview of Skype Translator<\/a>. Still in development<\/strong>, this app now has the ability to translate English and Spanish audio on the fly. It is far from perfect, but does prove an exciting first step towards a Star Trek future. Watch the video for a chance to win one of three preview keys.<\/p>\n

Let us know what you think of our recommendations in the comments below, and be sure to check back next Friday<\/strong> for another five apps.<\/p>\n
