Recently came across a post saying watchtube is dead. I didn't even know it existed :/ Wondering if there are any other apps dedicated for the watch OS that you use on a daily basis?

These plus Carrot Weather for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Carrot is hilarious. Getting insulted by my weather app 10/10 would recommend.

I used to use nano, till I discovered lolllybot on this sub. Check it out!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought nano was broken with the API changes?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nope I think it read it doesn’t meet the traffic threshold or something like that, same as Lollybot

Two weeks into owning an AppleWatch and am enjoying AutoSleep, WaterLlama and Gentler Streak.

Sleep tracking app, I like it because it does “smart alarms” so will try and wake me up during light sleep within the half hour window that I set my alarm for.

Convenient, but not worth it. That goes to the Watch 8 onwards. I currently have a watch 7

ARadar to connect to my Garmin Varia for my commutes and rides!

Gentler Streak, HeartWatch & AutoSleep, Training Today, CardioBot and Hello Weather.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What does Training Today provide that Gentler Streak doesn’t?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

A simple scale from 1-10

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Here are my favorite third party apps:

WorkOutDoors - Offline maps!

Just Press Record - If you set it as a complication, as soon as you press it it starts recording and you'll be able to see the recording on all your devices and get a transcription of what you said.

Athlytic - Basically turns your Apple Watch into a Whoop strap for much cheaper.

Watch for Tesla - Control my Tesla from my Watch + turns it into the key for my Tesla

MiniCord - Discord for my Watch. I only use it for messages

Pro Compass For Watch - It's similar to the built in compass app BUT it actually shows your waypoints on an actual freaking map (it's mind blowing that the stock compass app doesn't have this)

ThermoWatch - Control Nest thermostat from Watch

uBrowser - Browser for the Watch.

Hello Weather - The new Apple weather app requires too many clicks to see what I want. Hello Weather shows me it much faster.

Do you have a link to Pro Compass? Can’t find it anywhere.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s hard to find because it’s only available on the Watch. So you have to search on the App Store directly on your Watch. I don’t think I can link to it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will give uBrowser a try.

Note the Apple Watch natively supports some web browsing if you ask Siri to “Search web for…” and click then click “open page” on the results.

Thanks for the detailed app write-ups!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just adding that you don’t need to ask Siri, you simply can create shortcut and expose it to the watch, from there you can use it in many ways, including the action button

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Liking the look and sound of Athlytic! Good shout.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

What do you use Just press Record for? There are probably a bunch of things but I just never think of it.

Voice in a Can. Carrot weather. The Oregon trail step tracker.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oregon Trail Steptracker?!?! Technology is amazing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I remember when I had a Fitbit I heard about this app and was jealous I couldn’t get it. I am now running to the App Store

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is gonna be super boring, but my 2FA apps. Especially Duo.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I’m about to go through all of my accounts and make sure 2FA is on where available. Currently everything’s spread across a few different auth apps but I’d love solid Watch support that won’t be yanked later.

Is Duo a winner? Any other favorites?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Streamlets. Plays radio from the watch. Handy if I don't have my phone and I don't want my girlfriend to hear me pooping.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

SwingU is great if you’re a golfer

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The best apps that I use daily are the Fitness and the Workout apps.

Hevy

It wasn't until getting a watch and then finding the best workout tracking app that I was able to commit to logging workouts over a long period of time. Before that, the process was always to cumbersome using my phone - and I would eventually get annoyed and stop tracking.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thermo Watch to control the Nest thermostat
