One of the greatest features brought by Microsoft with their latest mobile operating system - Windows 10 Mobile - is the Continuum. It's that feature that connects your Windows 10 Mobile device to an external display via a Microsoft Display Dock and allows you to have a desktop-like experience anywhere. Continuum means that, once you have connected your Windows 10 smartphone to an external display, you can use Universal Windows Platform apps on that larger display, just like you would use your desktop PC. It's a great idea, but one that's still in its infancy. There aren't many apps available that support Continuum right now, but the list is growing. Because there's no easy way of finding out which apps work on Continuum, we searched the Web and assembled a list with Universal Windows Platform apps that are available for Windows 10 today and which work on Continuum:

A few things that you should know about Windows apps that support Continuum

Continuum lets you connect your Windows 10 mobile device to a larger screen and enables you to use them together with a keyboard and a mouse, in a desktop PC-like setup.

All that couldn't possibly work without having new kinds of apps available. That's why Microsoft also created a new breed of apps, called Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. These apps should work the same way on different device families, whether mobile or desktop oriented. If you want to know more about Universal Windows Platform apps, read this article: Simple questions: What are Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps?.

You might be tempted to think that Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps will all work on Continuum, right? Well, not quite! Not all Universal Windows Platform apps support Continuum. In order for an app to work well on Continuum, its developers must program some specific code language that targets Continuum.

If not all UWP apps work on Continuum, how do you know which of them do? Well, for now at least, this is mostly trial and error. If you have a Windows 10 Mobile device that supports Continuum, you can try the apps you find the Store and see if they work in Continuum. However, that's a pretty hard and tedious task to do . That's why we compiled this list of apps that we know they work with Continuum:
