Android Wear apps

[pustefix]

Can we use this thread to discuss what Android Wear apps that you are using on your smart watch? One of the main advantage of having a smart watch is that you don't have to pull out your phone that often to read notification, reply to message, etc. I've found that app that requires a short interaction time is well suited to be on the watch. The following are some apps that I'm using:

Bring!
- Grocery list on your watch, each item occupies whole screen, so it is easy to check them off.

Multi Calculator
- Well, a calculator on your watch.

Shazam
- Recognize songs without pulling out your phone.

Wunderlist
- To do list on your wrist.

Find My Phone
- Alert you on watch when you have left your phone and vice versa. Will also sound alarm on your phone to help you find it.

Wear Mini Launcher
- Configurable launcher for wear apps, default 3 columns setting is easier to navigate than Google default single column one.

IPC Wear Proxy
- This will show your IP camera footage on your watch, need IP Cam Viewer app on phone.

SG BusLeh
- Next bus timings for your favorite bus stops, you need to purchase the pro version for S$3.

You should try some of the apps, you can get notifications with any activity/fitness tracker which cost much less than a smartwatch. Another advantage of Android Wear over other band/watch is voice commands, it is so nice to say "Ok Google, navigate to home" to your watch and your phone will switch to navigation mode without touching it at all.
