Sony Smartwatch 2: the 5 best apps
Smartwatches are becoming increasingly popular. So also the Sony Smartwatch 2. Therefore we show you the best apps in this practical tip.
Smartwatch with apps
A smartwatch can only become a hit with the right apps. Since so far not many developers have dealt with the smart watches, there are still relatively few, but definitely useful apps. The must-haves are presented below, more apps in our gallery.
1. Call assistant for the smartwatch
"Call handling smart extension" should not be missing on the Sony smartwatch. This phone app will support you in all matters relating to phone calls.
- Answer, reject, or mute calls - all by clock.
- Your call log, your contacts and a dialing function are of course also on board.
2. Email on the Sony watch
With the "E-Mail Smart Extension" app you get the "Gmail" app for your smartwatch.
- Easily access all notifications and content from your G-Mail account.
- Read the whole mail - no sneak preview.
3. All notifications on the wrist
The "WatchNotifier" app is a small investment. This will show you all the notifications that you would otherwise only see in the status bar of your smartphone.
- Receive notifications from apps like "Facebook" or "WhatsApp". But you also get simple Play Store updates.
- Unfortunately, you still have to use your smartphone to answer. For a first overview, the app is great!
4. Sony Smartwatch 2 - Settings app
"Switches SmartWatch" is the app with which you can check in and out various smartphone functions. You can get this extension for 1.49 euros (as of April 2014).
- Turn the most common settings on or off.
- Also included: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, flight mode and many more.
5. Navigator for the smart Sony watch
With "GPS Maps for SmartWatch 2" you can get to any destination. You also get the Android app based on Open Street Maps completely free of charge.
- The app uses the GPS signal from your smartphone and shows your position on your watch.
- Unfortunately, the app is still in an early development stage (at the time: Version 2.0.2.1), which is why some errors may still be included.
- The cards can also be used offline.
