Apple Watch: 5 apps you need to try!

2015-05-05
hey what's going on guys a mark and Sangan from TechnoBuffalo and in today's video we'll be talking about five Apple watch apps we think are worth checking out third-party apps on the Apple watch are basically more simplified versions of what you'd find on an iPhone what you're used to using on an iOS app won't necessarily make it on the Apple watch app Twitter for example on iOS has all the proper UI elements from timeline mentions and direct messages whereas the Apple watch app only allows users to view their timeline compose a new tweet and what's trending it's similar app overall but missing some features from iOS and this will be the case for most Apple watch apps so the number one on our list is deliveries which is going for $4.99 this is probably my favorite package tracker app on iOS as it does everything that I need on the Apple watch the app shows you what packages you're still waiting for and what's been delivered you don't have to constantly pick up your phone to check when your packages are arriving unfortunately you're not able to add packages through the app just yet you're still going to have to rely on your iPhone to do that however having the delivery's app on the Apple watch makes it so much easier to track packages on-the-go instead of pulling out my iPhone and launching the app to see what ship or what's been delivered I can quickly look at my glances or deliveries app on my Apple watch and see all my information on my wrist number 2 on our list is Shazam which is free from the App Store now whenever I hear a song on a radio that I really like I usually use Shazam to you figure out what's playing Shazam on the Apple watch is very similar to the iPhone app you'll be able to figure out what song is playing on a radio in about 5 or so seconds and on the Apple watch specifically you have two options to choose from once it figures out what song was playing you can either read the lyrics directly on your watch or buy the song directly on iTunes right from your phone it's a neat way to figure out what song is playing however there is a slight caveat to this the Shazam app actually uses the iPhones microphone instead of using the Apple watch's microphone so don't expect to tag a song using just your Apple watch if your iPhone isn't close by number 3 on our list is Yahoo weather which is also free from the App Store the app and glance card for Yahoo weather it looks great on the Apple watch I think it's much better than the stock weather app that came pre-installed on the Apple watch in terms of visuals but the app itself will show a bunch of information like the highs and lows for the day wind speed and when the Sun will rise and set however it is a bit slow to load which seems to be a trend on the Apple watch but nonetheless it's an app that looks visually appealing and is an upgrade over the stock app Apple Offers number four on our list is clear which is going for $4.99 in the App Store clear is one of the most minimalistic and elegant to do apps I've ever used and it's the same here on the Apple watch you can view your to-do lists and check off completed tasks along with creating new ones by using force touch and dictation you can also add a reminder for each task for example if I want to be reminded in an hour to buy fruits it'll buzz my wrists to remind me to buy fruits I can also add clear to glances and easily see what's on my to-do list which is super convenient the last one on our list is Evernote now with Evernote on the Apple watch you'll be able to dictate view and add notes right from your wrist of course all new edited notes will sync back to your iPhone so you don't need to re-enter the same note twice and all your notes on the Apple watch will sync back to your iPhone almost instantly unfortunately can only dictate add in search for notes on the Apple watch you can view your notebooks tags and work chat directly from your watch but hopefully this is something we'll see in future versions of Evernote for the Apple watch most of the apps we mentioned today are free with the exception of two apps clear and deliveries which are both going for $4.99 I personally use these apps on a daily basis and having them on my wrist makes it so much easier for me to access them if I were to step away from my desk and forget my iPhone and I want to quickly check my deliveries or add a note through Evernote I can just use my Apple watch to do those things it's super helpful and more convenient for me because I'm wearing the Apple watch at all times where as if I didn't have the Apple watch and I forget my iPhone at my desk I wouldn't be able to do those tasks right away if you guys have any cool apps that you enjoy using on a daily basis on your Apple watch let us know in the comments down below as we would love to check them out if you guys enjoy this video make sure to give it a thumbs up and we will see you guys in the next one Oh you
