A Complete Review On Samsung Galaxy Watch Apps

Are you looking for the best Samsung Galaxy Watch Apps? The latest Samsung Galaxy Watch looks just like an original watch but packs many amazing features under the hood. The watch can play music, track your steps or heart rate, run games, display notifications, and tell the time.  However, besides Apple’s watchOS or Android’s Wear OS, Samsung’s Tizen OS doesn’t have lots of apps, to start with. It was difficult to find the quality apps for Samsung Gear S3, Galaxy Watch and still, it is the case with the Galaxy Watch Active. But don’t worry, we found some of the best Samsung Galaxy Watch apps you must try. Let’s start.

Add Apps To Samsung Watch:

Samsung Galaxy Watch apps are unavailable on the Google Play Store. Also, you can download it either directly through the Galaxy Apps store or Watch. Not just this but also you can visit the Galaxy Apps Store on your Watch or the Android (through the Samsung Wearable app).

List Of Samsung Galaxy Watch Apps

Facer

Facer is an amazing Watch Face app for Samsung Galaxy Watch, Gear S2 / S3. However, setting a Watchface is quite simple or easy. All you need is to install the Facer app from the link given below and long-hit the home screen to check the list of installed watch faces. As it brings up lots of watch faces that you can select by swiping left or right. Whenever you find the one you want to, click on it to set it.

Gear voice Memo

Typing on Samsung Galaxy Watch is quite difficult. Also, it becomes counter-intuitive to use an older note-taking app. Gear Voice Memo takes benefit of the in-built mic on the Galaxy Watch and records notes for you. You can also record an audio file of 6 minutes per note and move the recordings to the phone later on. The amazing feature Text-to-Speech works brilliantly but is not as polished as full-fledged transcription apps, so I won’t depend on it too much.

Colorful Explosion

Colorful Explosion is another best minimal Watch Face with beautiful backgrounds. The particle explosion themed background blends well using the white minute and hour hands. You can also modify the background by clicking the Watch Face once.

Spotify

The app Spotify for the Samsung Galaxy Watch makes your music streaming experience extremely amazing. You can use the app either as a remote control for your Spotify android app or as a standalone app. Its remote mode moves your Samsung Galaxy Watch into a remote control.

Similar to Stopwatch, there is no timer app prebuild on Galaxy Watch either. However, the official Timer app by Samsung is minimal. It displays minutes, hours, and seconds on the screen and you can then adjust the time simply by rotating the bezel. When you start the timer, it keeps on executing in the background also if you hit the home button. You can also pause the timer simply by opening the app and it’ll then buzz when the time is up.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch comes with a prebuilt accelerometer to record your movements. Spirit Level Pro uses it as a digital leveler.
