How would you like to go on an endless trip of entertainment and discovery? If you are new to Windows 8 and its world of apps, this is one of the first ones you should install. You will be glad you did.

StumbleUpon is basically a service that offers a blend of a discovery engine with social touches. Clicking on the Stumble button takes you to random websites and webpages based upon your chosen interest.

The best part is that there are over 500 interests to choose from — meaning that plenty of new photos, videos and websites are just a tap (or click, if you will) away. The app also makes great use of the modern interface of Windows 8. The official description explains it best:

“Escape the ordinary. StumbleUpon takes the boring ol’ Internet and makes it way more awesome by only showing you stuff you like. Tap or click on the Stumble button and explore an epic wonderland of videos, photos, and web pages personalized just for you. Download the free StumbleUpon app to transform your PC into a fun time-killing machine!”

The free app supports all version of Windows 8 (x86, x64 and ARM). You do need devices (and displays) with a screen resolution of 1024×768 and higher because of the way this app is designed.
