Frequently asked questions
What is Pokki?

Pokki is an awesome way to use apps right from your desktop!

Pokki is comprised of two components: the Pokki Menu and the App Store.

The Pokki menu adds start menu functionality (especially useful for Windows 8!) to your desktop and enables easy navigation to your favorite applications.

The Pokki menu looks something like this:



The App Store contains tons of great apps with one-click installs to have instant access to your favorite programs and games!

Is Pokki free?
Installing and using pokki apps is completely free! In addition to all apps being free, some apps have extra paid content in the form of in-app purchases. While no app requires that you make an in-app purchase, these purchases will enable extra content in those apps.

*Please note that in-app purchases are on a per game basis and are not managed by Pokki.

System Requirements
