best and the most useful existing apps for our Russian speaking users. In addition, we’ve also
made sure to provide you with the most necessary widgets to work with RuNet’s services
such as Yandex and your favorite social networks.

clicks. A well-balanced choice of the most functional widgets for your specific needs will help
you improve your site's efficiency, thus saving you loads of time and money. We want you
folks to spend your valuable resources on creative ideas and unique content, rather than
working up a sweat to collect data or resolve logistical problems.
The Delightful Eight
Let's have a look together at what different functionalities these apps can perform and how
to make your website the star of perfection with their help. Competitors will be kicking
themselves.

own icons and to set up the bar to match your website's design. You can be sure that with this
tool, promoting your website will be much easier and the site will look more original.
Social Media Stream is equally fantastic! It allows you to gather posts of any format from all
your social network accounts and display them beautifully to the site's visitors all in one
