Smartes are often called a nice and interesting, but still unnecessary gadget.It is said about them that, apart from the aesthetics of performance, they do not have much more to offer.And certainly not enough to put a lot of money for it.So we checked the Android Wear applications, which can be found on the shelves of the Google Play store, preparing a set of good programs for you, which is worth testing on smartzegars with a green robot operating system.

In the resources of a Google store with Android Wear applications, we were looking mainly that will work in everyday use, not only at work or during shopping, but also when we dream of a bit of fun.For this we have deleted all available watch discs, for a simple reason: how many users, so many tastes.Each SmartZear owner knows how he should look like his eyes.And there are a lot of possibilities to choose from, there are plenty of shields both in the free and paid version.Looking for this one best shield is also a lot of fun, so we didn't want to suggest any solution, because why spoil the fun of discovering on your own?

Google Keep

This free notebook from Google works not only in use on smartphones.It also has a useful application for smartzegars.By using it, we will create a regular note and a shopping list, and we will display all our entries created in the KEEP service.The information added is synchronized with Google servers on an ongoing basis, which facilitates work on many devices, e.g..Shopping list created on a smartphone will appear quickly in our "wise" watch.

The Google Keep application on Android Wear devices also allows you to add reminders to notes, archive them or edit, e.g..adding more items to the shopping list.The program works in a pretty thoughtful way, because when we open it, for example.While purchasing and looking on the shelves of subsequent goods, the smartzer screen will be dim.This is a useful program that changes the watch with Android Wear into a good companion in everyday tasks.

Wunderlist

With all its advantages, Google Keep also has disadvantages, and one of them can be burdensome for aesthetics.This is quite a Spartan look that you can say a lot about, but not that it is sophisticated and makes the application look with pleasure.Lovers of electronic notebooks who, in addition to functionality, also value appearance, so we recommend Wunderlist.

This is an application that can be called a combine for creating and managing them without hesitation.We will create notes in it, as well as shopping lists, we will add reminders to them (also cyclical), share entries with friends...In Wunderlist we will find everything you can expect from a solid notebook to mobile devices.In turn, the Android Wear version allows you to view the created notes, award subsequent fields, e.g..from the shopping lists, and also mean tasks performed.The cards displayed by Wunderlist on smartzegars are nice for the eye and when they display, for example,.When we are elegantly dressed at an important meeting, the application of shame will not bring.On the contrary, it can give us a bit of a business slow.

Foursquare

If you are in a new city, e.g..On a trip and you are looking for places that are worth seeing or in which they feed well, it is worth looking for them in the Foursquare application.

Foursquare once served as a social network and a base of places at the same time.However, the creators of the service decided to break it into two parts.The tool with which check-in is left in the places you visited became Swarm.Foursquare is developed as a base of places, created with the participation of an active community around the world.

To start your adventure with Foursquare, you must first create an account in the service using the e-mail address, as well as the Facebook or Google account.It will also be useful to determine your preferences about places where we like to be the most to be and the kitchen that suits us best.The application will take care of the rest, presenting the results of the most interesting places, e.g..burger or pizzeria.They can also be searched for using the smartzegraks application, using voice commands.Then the program will display a list of places most noteworthy, it will also save their descriptions for later reading or designate a route, e.g..to the selected restaurant.The application also displays notifications on a smartzegark about interesting locations when we find ourselves, for example.in the New Town or even in the new district of the city where we live every day.

Calendar for Android Wear

The system calendar in Android Wear is, what to write a lot, quite poor in the presented information.Less demanding users should be enough, but if we expect from a smartzer that it will allow us to comfortably check our schedule, then it is worth reaching for the Calendar for Android Wear application.

The program will develop the wings when we pay just over PLN 8 for its full version.Then we will gain access not only to the view of the month (the only one provided in the free application version), but also to the view of the week and the schedule for a given day.The application is good at presenting the content, and the information visible in it is provided in a transparent and convenient way.It also allows you to personalize its appearance, offering several colors that can be set as the main motive in the application.It is worth stipulating here that Calendar for Android Wear looks better on smartzegars with square screens, on those with round (e.g..On the Moto 360 of both generations) the content visible in the corners of the screen can be somewhat cut.However, this is not a disadvantage that would make it not worth testing this application.

Weather Timeline

On Android Wear devices, current weather information is given by one of the cards in the Google application.However, this does this in a little aesthetic way, and in addition, the weather is slightly hidden.If you want to have faster access to them, it's worth trying the Weather Timeline application.

This program was created in accordance with Google Materia Design guidelines, which means that we will find a lot of animations and vibrant, saturated colors.On the smartphone, the information is provided in the form of cards, and the application also supports Android Wear devices, allowing you to use the possibility of displaying the weather card available in the main stream of cards on the device.It provides information in a nice and transparent way, and the background of the card changes with the time of day and prevailing atmospheric conditions.In addition, by scrolling the card to the left, we will find information about the expected weather for the next hours and days, as well as data on wind strength, expected rainfall or snow, as well as a temperature tendency: whether it will grow, or decrease.The program is paid, but costs only PLN 3, which is a very low amount if we consider the possibilities that Weather Timeline offers.

Wear Audio Recorder

This is an application that will turn a smartphone into a voice recorder.These devices have a microphone that allows them to be sent to them, which is based on the Wear Audio Recorder.The application while working on an ongoing basis is synchronized with a smartphone, sending it a file with a recording.The program also contains several configuration options, but some of them (e.g..Choosing a sound recording format or synchronization with Dropbox or Google Drive) are available for an additional fee of OK.PLN 14.In the full version of the program we will also use M.in.From the option of determining the recording time, after which the application will turn off by yourself.Wear Audio Recorder was made in accordance with the Material Design guidelines, which means that both the smartphone and the smartzegark is comfortable and simple.

Slumber for Android Wear

This is a program that especially owners of Moto 360 and second generation smartzegars should pay attention to.The method of their charging is ingenious: when we put the device on the charger, then the screen will turn into a digital clock with a visible level of battery charge.This, however, may have its price, namely the burned pixels of the screen.If you want to protect yourself, it is worth reaching for the Slumber for Android Wear program.The application is enough to start once on a smartzegark, choosing an option that darkens the screen of the device when charging the battery.Thanks to this, we can count on the fact that his screen will serve us in good health a little longer.

Web Browser for Android Wear

Paying ok.PLN 13, można zapewnić sobie możliwość przeglądania stron internetowych na ekranie smartzegarka.This is the cost of the Web Browser for Android Wear application.

This is a program that seems to be intended only for extremely die -hard fans of new technologies.Reading texts on websites on tiny watch screens seems to be a bit breakneck.But if someone wants to check how it works in practice, they can test this application.The program is based on tabs and stories of visited pages from Google Chrome and a system web browser in Android smartphones.Tabs can also be added yourself using the application on your smartphone, which will provide quick access to the most important content for us.On Smartzegark, the addresses of the pages can be given using voice commands or using a terribly uncomfortable keyboard.Browsing the content of websites on the watch is also not a particularly pleasant experience, but we recommend this program, if only because of the original idea.

Runtastic Pro

This is an application that is already a recognized company in the Android world.Programs by Runtastica, addressed to various groups of sports lovers and developed for various needs (e.g..Offering training programs to strengthen abdominal muscles or make 100 pumps), are very popular among those who use the smartphone for sports purposes.

Pixtocam for Android Wear

Some applications for operating the camera on Android smartphones (e.g..Google camera) allow you to operate it using a smartzeck.Here, however, only the ability to press the "take a photo" button is at stake with a watch on the wrist.People who need a slightly more advanced application of this type on Android Wear should pay attention to Pixtocam for Android Wear.

This is a Twitter customer intended only for Android Wear smarts.On the smartphone, we can only configure the application, but all the most important functions will only be available on a "wise" watch.

Papercraft

This is one of the most popular games created for Android Wear devices.Papercraft is not only addictive fun, but also proof that even such small devices as smartzegars are a lot of entertainment potential.

The idea for the game in Papercraft is even very simple.We control a small triangle, traversing the board with a space reminiscent.Our vehicle shoots laser beams all the time, neutralize the figures flying towards us.By hitting the next ones, we score points, and at the same time we must maneuver in each direction (left, right, up and down) to avoid collision.So it's simple, but very paper can pull it in.And only the fact that playing on a smartzegark can quickly squeeze the last juices from the battery of the device stops by spending a long time with a game of a long time.

Papercraft in the database of goodprograms: Androidtilt (Augmented Reality Game) This game illustrates how you can use the combination of a smartphone and a smartphone, using augmented reality, i.e. supported reality.

In Tilt (augmented reality game), both devices are needed to play.Thanks to the smartphone, our watch will turn into a game board.Holding the phone at the right angle in relation to the smartzer, the board will be displayed on the screen of this first device, which is a kind of maze.By turning the smartphone, we will simultaneously control the ball, which should be brought to the finish line, bypassing the holes visible on the board and blind walls, through which the ball entrusted to us can go beyond the board.

Playing in Tilt (Augmented Reality Game) is not easy, because all the time you have to remember to properly arrange both devices towards yourself.But when we master this art, then good fun will be stone.And by the way, there may be a reflection that smarts can already provide a lot of unconventional entertainment and interesting what possibilities will appear with the development of this software.

Tilt (augmented reality game) in the database of goodprograms: Android Shazam This application belongs to the canon of android classics.For many people, it is one of the first programs that they install on their new smartphones or Android tablets.The creators of Shazama decided to adapt the application to Android Wear devices, allowing you to recognize songs thanks to the application for smartzegarek.

To check what melody caught our ear, just run Shazam on the watch and wait a few moments.Sometimes the expectation is a bit prolonged, which depends on the quality of the connection between the smartphone and the smartzegar.Unfortunately, it happens that the watch application informs that it is not able to perform the task entrusted to it.But when everything goes smoothly, then Shazam impresses with the effectiveness of recognizing music.An interesting idea is also to place a card with the current text of the recognized song, to which we will get, moving the left with information about the Song of Shazam to the left.

Video for Android Wear&YouTube

Watching YouTube clips on a tiny smartzer screen?Such an idea sounds at least eccentric.However, it turns out that there were daredevils who decided to create such an application.

Po zainstalowaniu programu Video for Android Wear&YouTube i zalogowaniu się w nim do naszego konta Google, zasoby YouTube'a na smartzegarku staną przed nami otworem.You can search for movies by keywords or authors' names, both using voice commands and using a terribly uncomfortable keyboard.First of all, the program allows you to watch movies on the "wise" watch screen.This is not a particularly pleasant experience, because devices of this type still have screens with too weak parameters to guarantee the comfort of viewing video materials. Aplikacja Video for Android Wear&YouTube wiele funkcji ma też zarezerwowanych tylko w wersji Premium (np.the ability to display more than two films of one author or send voice commands), which costs ok.PLN 13.But if you want to watch your favorite YouTube clips on a smartzegark, this is the application.

Android Wear is growing in strength

In our opinion, the applications described above show the possibilities that are not only in smartzegars, but also in Android Wear.The software written for them is part of many niches and can realistically make it easier to deal with everyday matters.At the same time, these are programs that look good from the visual side, which is very important when we talk about smartzegars.Devices of this type are increasingly designed so that they do not stand out too much (or even matched) classic watches.And it is not difficult to imagine an aesthetic shock when a card with a notification from the application looks like a beautifully made smartzegark looking as if it was designed by an author tied to aesthetics from the time of Amiga.Everything is supposed to look and work well here, and both aspects of the Android Wear application are equally important.

When writing this review, we found out that the creators of such programs are aware of this.And there is plenty to choose from.And what do you use programs on your smartzegars with Android Wear?Leave us your suggestions in the comments.
