The Best Android Wear Apps to Download
If you’ve got an LG G Watch or Samsung Gear Live, or if you’re looking to pick-up the upcoming Moto 360, you’ll probably want an app to make use of this Android Wear operating system.
Below are the list of different wrist based apps for making your smartwatch even smarter.
1. WearFaces – Watchface Creator
The good thing about a watch with a digital display is that you can customize the watchface. It lets you pick a style made by a fellow user of the app or create your own from scratch.
2. Runtastic
Runtastic is a fantastic option for turning your Android Wear smartwatch into a fitness powerhouse. Using the wonders of GPS, Runtastic can track (in real-time) your exercise regime, from the route you took to a personal diary of your workout diary.
3. WearCalc
It’s a calculator app you can use on your wrist, so no more reaching into your pocket for a quick calculation.
4. Wear Internet Browser
Wear Internet Browser has the ability to pinch and zoom, access bookmarks and a mini keyboard for typing.
5. Wear Volume
Wear Volume lets you change the volume of a device from your wrist. No need to begrudgingly get up to find the remote control or turn a dial if you are comfortable. You can even launch the app using your voice for maximum laziness.
6. Glympse
Glympse is a handy Android and Android Wear app that lets you broadcast your location and where you have been in real-time for as long as you want, making it easy for a friend or family to meet up with you. A Glympse broadcast can be sent over text, email, Facebook or Twitter using any device with the web.
7. Find My Phone
Losing your phone is a nightmare. Luckily the Find My Phone Android Wear app lets you turn on an alarm sound or vibration so you can be quickly reunited. Unless, of course, your phone was stolen and the thief is long gone. In which case, you’ll need the desktop Google software.
8. WearBucks
Get your coffee at Starbucks? WearBucks could make life more convenient by letting you pay for your favorite coffee-based beverage. All you have to do is tell your watch to pay or open up the app. You can also check your current balance and Starbucks Rewards.
