The Chrome App store is constantly growing, and there are some top apps hidden deep within the app store that everyone should know about. Google has been pushing offline usability allot lately and these are awesome for the times you are offline.
The Google Suite of Apps
If you have Google Chrome, you have a Google Drive app installed, but a lot of Google apps don't come pre-installed. things like Google Calender, Gmail offiline and Google keep all work offline just as they would online and this is a big plus.
The most use full app in the Google Suite however, is Chrome Remote Desktop, a simple way to remotely access other computers for when you need that little bit extra from a windows app!
Coding
Coding is easy on a Chromebook, with Apps like CoffeeScript IDE, Application Craft and a offline compatible offering from ShiftEdit, but my personal choice is Codenvy IDE. Codenvy IDe allows you to
code in all your favourite languages like HTML, Javascript, Java, Python, ruby, Groovy and PHP and in true Chrome style its even features collaborative abilities!
Audio
unless you have been living under a rock chances are you have use Audacity to convert files or edit audio, and on the Chrome App Store there is TwistedWave, its not quite up to par with Audacity and you need to sign up for a free account to edit more the 30 seconds of Audio ..... but it does the job for trimming, effects and saving to the cloud on both Google Drive and Soundcloud.
Video
With the App being cloud based and the minimal specs of Chromebooks, Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro are not going to be an option, be why not give WeVideo a try? rimming, Splitting and effects WeVideo can handle it.
Images
Pixlr Editor, is a fantastic Photoshop alternative, colour correction, filters, and all your basic photo shop needs are all covered here and for most beginner to intermediate needs.... it does the job.
