Some of the applications can be downloaded for free. Let's go!
1. Streaks
Download on iTunes: 379 rub.
What's the trick: An effective motivating application with a dose of gamification to form healthy habits.
Using thin convenient setup in the program you can select a visual representation, select days of the week, exact time, frequency and even the sound of reminders. In addition, integration with Apple Health allows you to add habit tasks for physical activity, the data will be calculated automatically.
In total, you can add 6 basic habits. The restriction was made by the developers specifically so that attention would be focused on completing just a few goals, and the user’s passion would not fade away quickly.
On Apple screen Watch displays reminders about the need to close the task, what effect its completion will have, and full list chosen habits.
It is curious that if the task is constantly successfully completed, the program will offer to increase the load. For example, after I walked more than 5 thousand steps daily for a week (one of the selected habits), Streaks suggested increasing the load to 6 thousand.
Pros: convenient, customizable interface and progress statistics with an indicative percentage of completion of each habit (in iPhone). Motivates you to be better!
Cons: the application may be intimidating due to its price, App Store You can find free analogues, which, unfortunately, are not as colorful and convenient.
2. Bring! Shopping List
Download on iTunes: for free
What's the trick: Great free analogue the famous application for making a shopping list “Buy a loaf”.
Bring! Shopping List has a minimalistic interface and allows you to create visual shopping lists, as well as synchronize lists with other users.
All products are divided into categories and visually presented in the form of cards, a long press on which allows you to add a description and also mark the quantity necessary products. It is possible to make additional cards outside the presented list.
You can create and share shopping lists with family, colleagues or friends.
On an Apple screen Watch list displayed as icons with descriptions. Clicking on each item “closes” the purchase. Managing such a list from a watch is easier and more convenient than holding a smartphone in your hands while shopping.
Pros: Convenience and ease of use make grocery shopping as efficient as possible. No more endless “text messages” from your spouse. Unlike “Buy a loaf!” the Swiss analogue can be used absolutely free.
Cons: lack of Russian language, despite many requests in the App Store.
3. CARROT Weather
Download on iTunes: 379 rub.
What's the trick: A wonderful analogue of Gismeteo for those who are tired of the same boring weather forecasts.
Carrot Weather shows detailed weather information, sunrise/sunset times, visibility, humidity and pressure. But the main feature of the application is the sarcastic humor of the built-in robot and the flexible configuration of information on the watch.
Unlike the built-in weather application, Carrot Weather allows you to choose the type of data that is displayed on the watch screen (temperature, humidity, temperature “feels like”, cloudiness, chance of precipitation).
With a new update arriving this week, Carrot Weather allows you to change the app icon (on iPhone) and do more... fine tuning information slots in AW.
Pros: nice, visual, customizable interface, many different options, excellent humor, the severity of which can be adjusted (not everyone will be happy when the program starts calling the user “meatbag”).
Cons: lack of Russian language. “Eating” the watch battery, AW series 3 with Carrot Weather installed work instead of 3 days, only 2 days. High cost + paid subscription(!).
4. Yandex.Translator
Download on iTunes: for free
What's the trick: comfortable free translator from the famous Russian search engine.
You can dictate text directly from your watch and get its instant translation.
The iPhone application allows you to download the necessary offline language package, thanks to which translation can be carried out without connecting to the network. Packet size is 20-80 MB.
Pros: simple, convenient, free. Saving traffic abroad is always nice!
Cons: are missing.
5. Just Press Record
Download on iTunes: 379 rub.
What's the trick: The perfect solution to record voice notes on the go.
Surprisingly, Siri on the Apple Watch does not allow you to take voice notes, suggesting you open the corresponding program on the iPhone (game!). Therefore, an absolutely logical step is to install a convenient, simple Just Press Record voice recorder, with which you can save important data (ideas, important thoughts) on the fly.
You can turn on the voice recorder on your Apple Watch with just one touch, and you can record in background. In this case, the data is automatically transferred to the iPhone.
Pros: simple and convenient. Entries in iCloud are automatically synchronized with all devices in your account.
Cons: price. It is not possible to change the name of records c using Apple Watch.
6. Streaks Workout
Download on iTunes: 299 rub.
What's the trick: Convenient home personal “trainer” for sports
In Streaks Workout you can find everything you need for daily sports: sets of exercises with algorithms, recommendations, statistics. Moreover, it is not necessary to go to the gym for this; almost all assigned tasks can be completed at home.
When first launched, the user is prompted to select up to six various types exercises (push-ups, planks, squats, etc.). After that, it will be enough to indicate the duration of the classes (from 6 to 30 minutes) and the program will independently create the entire training program depending on the chosen preferences. There is also the option to create a custom workout.
