Programs for apple watch sport. Apple Watch Apps

A small guide to the best and most useful Apple Watch apps in 2018 that will bring life to new amenities, will be able to motivate or simply lift your spirits.

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 for the formation of healthy habits.

Using thin convenient setup in the program you can choose 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.

The Apple Watch screen displays reminders about the need to close a task, what effect it 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 the Apple Watch screen, the list is displayed in the form of 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 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).

After a new update that arrived this week, Carrot Weather allows you to change the application icon (on iPhone) and fine-tune the 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 Apple Watch with just one touch, and you can record in the 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 asked to select up to six different types of 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.

With the latest watchOS 2 update, many Apple Watch applications have learned to work directly on the watch.

However, not all of these 10,000+ apps are worth your time. Therefore, we recommend this article as a good starting point for finding the most worthwhile and useful Apple Watch apps...

Applications for every day

Vine

Not being able to watch full-length movies or TV shows with your hand up to your face isn't too much of a disappointment anymore. But small videos of a few seconds are perhaps best suited for viewing on a smart watch. The Vine app will allow you to view these short videos, suggesting the most popular ones and allowing you to save your favorite ones to your favorites. So you can watch your favorite cats doing all sorts of funny things while standing in line at the supermarket, and the sound from the Apple Watch will not irritate those around you at all.

Fantastical 2

Apple's standard Calendar app is great for running through your list of upcoming appointments, but Fantastical 2 will save you the time you spend pulling your smartphone out of your pocket to add a new event to your calendar. Press firmly to select the desired command and begin dictating. The natural language input that the app supports means it's usually good at recognizing things like "lunch on Friday at 2pm," making you feel like you're living in the future. A little. One problem is that Russian is not supported yet, but if you speak English, Spanish, Italian, German, French or Japanese, then you will have additional practice;)

CARROT Weather

On iPhone, CARROT Weather is a sophisticated monster with artificial intelligence Dark Sky which is about to take over the whole world. On the Apple Watch, there's much less room for bells and whistles, although some things are still delivered with aplomb. Fortunately, along with this you also get valuable forecasts, including precipitation, all in the form of reports that fit on the screen of your watch.

219R + 119R annual subscription, iTunes

Streaks

This simple and straightforward habit creation app has drawn some criticism from us due to its limitations: you can only create 6 habits and must set them for specific days of the week. However, it turned out that this is much more effective - when you focus on only a small number of tasks, and thanks to the fact that this is a smartwatch, and not a smartphone, it becomes much faster and more convenient to mark these tasks as completed, and also track at a glance - what else left for today.

BBC News

There are already quite a lot news applications for Apple Watch, but BBC News is our favorite. You receive notifications and can read headlines grouped into Top Stories, My News (which are created based on your favorite news categories in the iPhone app), and Most Read. For each article you will see brief description and a picture, and if you wish, you can download the full version to your iPhone.

ProCamera

If you're already a ProCamera user, then its smartwatch app will give you a little more remote control Apple camera. Including remote control shutter preview, external viewfinder preview, photo preview, and a timer where you can adjust the delay time and the number of photos to be taken at once.

Deliveries

The Deliveries program is good on any platform, because it tracks all your packages that are flying to you through the forests, across the seas directly from the online store, and allows you to not suddenly find yourself outside the house at the moment of completion of delivery, when the courier after a long time waiting, decides to throw a brand new laptop into your yard - over the fence. On yours smart Apple Watch will have the same list of parcels and a map of locations, which will display where your precious cargo is located present moment, as well as notifications about the immediate completion of delivery.

Slack

Slack's popularity as a team collaboration tool is undeniable, but you wouldn't want to be constantly scrolling through your to-do list on the small screen of your smartwatch. So the Apple Watch version of the app has wisely limited its functionality to only messages and reminders that you can respond to using short, canned responses, emoticons, or voice input, using Siri.

Find Near Me

This application is great for quick search nearby places by category: payment terminal, bank, bar, hairdresser, zoo... as you can see, it is very useful, especially if you are in an unfamiliar city, but unfortunately it has not yet been translated into Russian. But it is very fast and even allows you to dictate search terms via Siri, which is currently a rarity in the Apple Watch.

The selected item typically expands when selected and displays more detailed information, such as addresses, maps, and reviews.

Journey

Citymapper

If you find yourself in one of the cities that this application supports (for example, Paris, New York or London), then it should be on your watch. It is tailored to public transport and gives precise, clear instructions to get you where you need to go. Citymapper will notify you when a bus, train or tram is about to arrive and provide you with a list of stops that are expected along your route. And thanks to the latest watchOS 2 update, the program will be able to display the expected time of arrival of transport and direction - directly on the screen of your smartwatch.

App in the Air

This “personal assistant for air travel” with a self-explanatory name does a lot of useful things. The app monitors your flight, gives tips on how to stretch a stiff neck, and shows the waiting time for boarding and security. Time Travel support, accordingly, gives you relevant and timely flight information right on the screen of your smartwatch, and allows you to virtually move through it in time using the Digital Crown.

Free+in-app purchases, iTunes

Google Maps

Google is taking its first tentative steps into the world of Apple Watch apps—they're not as broad or impressive as Citymapper's, but we'll still include them on our list because, well, they're still Google Maps. There are buttons here for quick definition directions home and to work, as well as links to your recent routes used in the iPhone application. The directions described in the text can be viewed in more detail (although there are no maps directly here yet), and using the Force Touch feature (pressure), buttons are called up to switch the type of transport.

Currency

There are many apps for displaying currency rates on the Apple Watch, but we chose Currency because it is fast, responsive, and even elegant. On your iPhone, you specify a list of currencies for which you need to track information, and the order in which they should be shown. Changes appear almost instantly on your Apple Watch. Then you tap the desired currency and enter the amount you want to convert and the data is immediately updated. What speeds things up even further is that your main currency is shown to you first, as well as the next three in a given list.

TripAdvisor

Designed to tell you about places to "eat, stay and stay" nearby, TripAdvisor is a useful app to have on your watch when you're out and about, especially in a place you're unfamiliar with. Pages of selected places, images, maps, addresses and reviews can be saved to any of your devices for later, more attentive viewing.

Health, fitness and sports

Runtastic

With watchOS 2, Runtastic can finally access your heart rate data and display all the details on your smartwatch screen. Of course, if you want GPS tracking, you'll still need to take your smartphone with you, but you'll come home with much more information than you would with any other Apple Watch fitness app.

7 Minute Workout "Seven"

We couldn't count how many apps have already been written for 7-minute workouts on the Apple Watch (there are more than 7), but this one, despite the awkward name, should definitely make it onto our list so that you can get the most out of watchOS 2. You will have all the usual chart graphs, but now you will also have data from the heart rate monitor added to them, and you will also have a new challenge in the form of the “7 Month Marathon” (i.e. you will have to maintain training throughout this time). And of course, your workouts will also feed into the activity rings on Apple Watch.

iTunes

Sleep++

This app takes advantage of the motion sensor capabilities in your Apple Watch, made available to developers with watchOS 2. The idea is that monitoring the duration and quality of your sleep can potentially help improve your quality of sleep (or, say, clarify the situation - when you spend VKontakte until 2 nights, and then you are surprised that you are so tired the next day). There is an option for integration with HealthKit, and the developer thoughtfully provides tips on his blog, for example, how to charge your smartwatch if you plan to leave it on your wrist all night.

Hole19

As a complete solution for golfers, Hole19 provides you with hole routing, statistics and a simple interface to record your scores. As soon as you start a round on your iPhone, your Apple Watch starts working with the data you need at any given moment: key distances, recording scores, and tracking the ball in the hole.

CARROT Fit

The CARROT series brings a fresh twist to every category in which it appears. This app specifically focuses on the 7 minute workout. CARROT's evil trainer will take you through a high-paced workout with exercises like Celebrity Face Punches and Dragon Mating Dances. Start a workout and your Apple Watch will promptly tell you what exercise you need to do now, or allow you to press pause if you suddenly feel that your body is about to give up.

Slopes

Having detailed information about your speed, altitude, and distance traveled while skiing or snowboarding down a mountain is great, but an iPhone is not the most convenient device for such a situation. The Slopes app, accordingly, allows you to record data directly from your smartwatch, and displays it on Apple screen Watch all the necessary statistics, and also shows in Glances mode - how much time, for example, you spent having fun rushing downhill through the snow, compared to boring periods of waiting on the lift bench.

Productivity

PCalc

Surprisingly, the Apple Watch lacks a regular calculator (maybe Tim Cook hates Casio?). However, do not despair, because PCalc is already rushing to our aid! It has a smart interface with operators and even has a tip calculator that will calculate their size at the press of one button (and this is better than doing similar features through Force Touch). On watchOS 2, everything is super responsive and you can easily adjust your tip size by simply twisting the Digital Crown.

Cruncher

We've added Cruncher to our list as an alternative calculator because it's good for those with sausage fingers or those who like to mash buttons on the run. It may not be an elegant solution to go through sub-menus for numbers, but the buttons in Cruncher are much easier to press than in any other similar application. And in watchOS 2 now everything still flies without any delays.

1Password

The 1Password app gives you the ability to store passwords and all kinds of secret notes - right on your Apple Watch. It has large, easy-to-use buttons, and you can hide all your secrets behind one four-digit PIN code (paranoid people can also be advised to force close the application after use: hold the side button until the shutdown screen appears, then close 1Password with a long press). It's worth noting that 1Password is available to download for free, but you will need to make an in-app purchase of Pro Features to activate Apple support Watch.

Just Press Record

On iPhone, the Just Press Record app is great for taking quick notes: press the record button, dictate something or record any other audio, stop recording, and your new audio file is saved and synced to the cloud. With the release of watchOS 2, this functionality also became available on your smartwatch. Moreover, being near the iPhone is not required for it to work. As soon as your smartwatch is near your smartphone again, the accumulated data will be transferred to it automatically. It is also possible to immediately access the application through the Watch feature, where one click is enough to start recording.

Drafts 4

On iPhone, the creators of Drafts position their app as the place where any text begins. Which is fair in principle, since it is fast and reliable application with wide sharing capabilities. Now the text can start right in your smart watch, where you can dictate it via Siri. recognized text is sent to special folder“inbox”, where you can select items and change their order, as well as archive and delete. Thanks to watchOS 2, everything now works even faster and more reliably, and the application, like the previous one, does not require a smartphone next to the smartwatch.

Instapaper

The original read-it-later service, Instapaper, may seem strange and unsuitable for the iPhone. But now, in addition to allowing you to manage your archive of articles, it also allows you to convert them to speech! The result looks funny - as if a robot is reading excerpts from the Internet for you, but this can be a very useful feature when you have free time to get through a couple of articles, but there is no way to place a smartphone screen in front of your face.

Clicker

Ambition is good, but sometimes you can come across a completely simple application that is nevertheless very compelling in some way, and Clicker is definitely very simple. Once launched, you tap once to increase the number on the screen by one. A strong touch (Force Touch feature) - and you subtract one, and you can also reset the counter to zero. This is all. The settings allow you to place the number in the center or display it on the screen with a dial. You can also keep multiple counters, such as counting down the days until an event or counting the laps you run during a workout, at least until you reach the maximum supported number (2,147,483,647 - which is a lot of laps).

Entertainment

TuneIn Radio Pro

TuneIn Radio allows you to listen to more than 100,000 radio stations from all over the world. On your Apple Watch, you can change the station. which the iPhone is playing, see a list of recent and similar stations, and also have access to the standard buttons: play/pause/skip. And if you don't like paying for apps, that's okay - the free version also supports Apple Watch.

Shazam

Shazam will make you feel like you've stepped into the future. Shake your smartphone back and forth while a melody you like is playing somewhere in the background, and the application will determine exactly what kind of composition it is. And now, thanks to smart watches, you don’t even have to take your smartphone out of your pocket - just wave your hand a little to find out the title, as well as the lyrics (if you suddenly decide to jump on the table and show your friends your vocal abilities).

Sky Guide

On iPhone, Sky Guide is the most beautiful and accurate guide to stars and constellations, so you'll get your money's worth. Its companion app for Apple Watch will give you a calendar of upcoming events and notifications about interesting events happening in your geographical region. For example, you can find out when the International Space Station will pass in your part of the sky. After the release of watchOS 2, the application's performance improved and an update was released with support for Time Travel and very accurate moon phases.

Night Sky

In an attempt to fit the vastness of the skies onto the screen of your smartwatch, the Night Sky app may have even gone overboard. It takes a hundred years to render an image and is clumsy to operate, even if you just want to look up information about a celestial body. Although sometimes it can work much faster, showing us forecasts for the dark time of the day, and allows us to see, for example, how the cloud cover will change throughout the night. The developers generously provide us with support for smart watches, both in free version, and (of course) in a paid one.

Games

Lifeline 2

The original Lifeline game was one of those Apple products, which we preferred to run on the wrist rather than on a smartphone. In fact, it was an interactive book, the plot of which told the story of an astronaut stuck on an uninhabited planet. As the game progressed, it made me worry more than once. The sequel repeats the same trick, only now the story is about Arika, a woman who sets out to avenge her family and also save the lives of all humanity. The player will again find beautifully designed text, the volume of which has approximately doubled. Many decisions in Lifeline 2 affect the development of the plot, and some of them will change the entire ending. If the player fails, he will doom all humanity to death!

Rules!

This easy mind game is ideal for memory training. It contains many rules, based on which it is necessary to exclude pictures with drawn characters. For example, the game may ask you to remove cards that contain the color green. Or eliminate the cards in increasing order of the number of horns depicted on them. As you achieve certain successes, the complexity of the rules increases, and in addition to this, Rules! asks to return to the previously discussed rules, without recalling their essence. The first wrong action will lead to loss. With the release of WatchOS 2, play Rules! it became more pleasant, as haptic feedback appeared, and the controls became more responsive.

Brainess

Intellectual games are good for training the brain, but only if you play them regularly. And if such a toy is on your wrist, then you are unlikely to be too lazy to launch it, especially if it is well implemented. A good example Brainess serves this purpose. This is a kind of set of micro-games that does not take much time. There are math problems, memory training, tasks for removing paired cards and much more. Great entertainment for five minutes, after which you will get tired of holding your hand up!

Trivia Crack

This toy is reminiscent of Trivial Pursuit - the famous quiz game, only you will have to compete with real people around the world. There are six randomly selected categories of questions. For correct answers, the player receives symbols in the form of small characters, which are the faces of the categories available here. The release of watchOS 2 added sounds to this game. Also, now you don’t need to run it on your iPhone; from now on you can start it right away on your smartwatch. Please note, this does not mean that you can use your smartphone to search the Internet for the correct answers! Although, in truth, no one will forbid you to do this, except your own conscience.

Free + in-app purchases, iTunes

Twisty Color

The simplest game causing problems only when certain progress has been achieved. Color Twister first appeared on smartphone screens several years ago. On smartwatches, the number of colors and the size of the circle have been reduced, which is responsible for the decreased complexity. The digital wheel located at the end of the device is used as a control. This allows you to avoid blocking the display with your finger and respond to the current situation in a timely manner. With the release of WatchOS 2, the game began to delight with tactile feedback, arising in moments of victory or loss of life.

With each new generation, the capabilities of the Apple Watch smart watch are expanding, which means that the gadget constantly needs additional applications. Launched in 2017 operating system watchOS 4, most applications run directly on the watch, without being tied to the iPhone.

Once the watch is on the wearer's wrist, it will conduct an in-depth analysis of sleep quality and physical condition. AutoSleep will detect your heart rate during different phases of sleep and determine your level of anxiety. The research results will be presented in the form of clear and colorful visualization. You can install the AutoSleep app on your Apple Watch using the App Store.
