It is March and so it is time to file a tax return. Just like last year, the Tax Authorities have released a Tax Return 2016 app to make this easier for you.

With the Tax Return 2016 app you can quickly complete your tax return by logging in with your DigiD.
Do you know #BOOS, the web series in which Tim Hofman looks for a solution with your angry complaints? BOOS Polertiek dives into the House of Representatives and now also has an app. The app is full of options such as a soundboard, with which you can start different sound effects. The most important feature, however, is its own version of the voting guide, the Kieskompassie. On the basis of various statements you can find the politician who suits you.

The Nintendo Switch is a striking device, because you can use the game console on the go or hang it on a television. For example, if you play the new The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on television, you can pull the tablet out of its holder and continue playing on the train. The game console comes with the Parental Controls app for Nintendo Switch. The app gives control over the playing time, without having to dive into the settings of the game console.

The entire app is wrapped in a black design, which makes highlighted appointments in bright neon colors stand out even more. In addition to a color, you can use stickers to clearly show what kind of appointment it is. A balloon for a birthday, or a plane for the time of your flight.
