With the release of Apple's latest MacBook Pro 2016 with Touch Bar, a lot are asking how to maximize its full potential. There are several apps which show off the Touch Bar's capability.
Although there are apps you can easily download in the App Store, some of the best apps which showcase the use of the Touch Bar are from third-party developers. We gathered some of these apps to show you how to take advantage of the newest feature of the Apple MacBook Pro 2016.

First on the list is PCCalc. PCCalc is no ordinary calculator. Its recent update is already compatible with the newest MacBook which uses the Touch Bar to figure basic and complex calculations. All you have to do to maximize the app and the Touch Bar is to customize it first by putting functions such as Inverse Power, Cube Root, and so on.
Another app is 1Password, a password managing service which also supports TouchID on the MacBook. You have to activate the search dialogue or add new accounts to the app using the Touch Bar. Easy-peasy!
For graphics, the Pixelmator is known as a Photoshop's alternative in Mac. The Pixelmator app uses the Touch Bar from its easiest function to complex ones. Of course, you have to do a bit of tinkering to set it all up but the Touch Bar will be used in every tool and selection.
The only Apple app to make this list is Photos. You need not download the app since its pre-installed in the system. To take advantage of the Touch Bar, you can scroll, edit and enhance photos just by tapping the bar.
Many people did not buy the idea of the Apple MacBook Pro having a Touch Bar. Somehow they thought that it will be useless and a waste of money since it's way more expensive than the usual MacBook Pro.
Just try to use the feature instead of the onscreen buttons and the trackpad. You will definitely get the hang of it. Make-Adjustments-Go-Get-It-(be)Energized!
