5 Best Apple Watch Apps That Are Actually Worth Using

August 31, 2022

Despite what most people think, Apple watches are not only savvy accessories that make you look cooler. These small gadgets are, in fact, powerful devices that can make your life easier. Thanks to them, you can listen to music, be more organized, talk to people in foreign languages, check the weather, or stay entertained for hours.

To enjoy all of these features from your wrist, you just need to know which apps to download. So, if you already have an Apple watch or want to buy one, check out this list of the five best apps that are actually worth using!

Spotify

Spotify

Get your favorite tunes on the go without even having to pull out your smartphone. The Spotify app for your Apple watch allows you to listen to music right from your watch!

In the past, you had to carry your iPhone to stream your favorite music since the app didn’t allow you to download or listen to it offline. You also couldn’t play anything directly from the watch itself. However, it has recently changed, and now you can do both without using your iPhone. 

Keep in mind, however, that this function is only possible on the cellular version of your Apple watch. You can connect yourself via Bluetooth to your headphones or portable speakers and enjoy yourself no matter where you are!

The only downside is that you still cannot search for new music straight from your watch and can only choose between your current playlists, songs, podcasts, and albums.

Have you ever wanted to travel but were too afraid of the language barrier? Or has anyone approached you on the street, asked something in a foreign language, and you didn’t know what to do? If you answered positively to these questions, it’s time to start using iTranslate on your Apple watch!

The app is able to translate 38 languages, making the list of countries you can visit with it very long! All you have to do is speak to your watch. It will then recognize the language and translate it to the desired one.

Since it has language detection, the other person can respond using the device in the same way so you can understand the response.

You can also easily switch between languages and pick up new ones with it. The app comes with built-in dictionaries with phrases and synonyms that will help you learn new vocabulary.

WatchTube

YouTube is one of the most used and download apps, and now thanks to WatchTube, you can use it to watch your favorite videos straight from your wrist!

Download the app, and start using YouTube from your Apple watch without having your iPhone nearby. It’s especially great if you want to watch YouTube videos but don’t feel like taking your phone with you every time you leave the house.

You could think that because of how complex the YouTube platform is, it will be complicated to use it from the Apple watch. However, the developers made sure its usability was as easy as possible. 

The app has four sections; Home, Search, Library, and Settings. Home shows you the most trending videos, Search allows you to look for the videos, Library shows the history of your watched and liked videos, and with Settings, you can, for example, change the size of the caption.

Being organized isn’t a talent that only a few people are born with. It’s a real-life skill that you can master as long as you have the proper tools. So if you don’t feel like being messy anymore and are an Apple watch owner, Things 3 is for you!

This simple yet packed with features app can help you create your to-dos list, and it focuses on task accomplishment so you can track progress, knowing how much you have already achieved. It allows you to organize tasks by categories, such as work, family, finance, sport, or anything else important to you. With Things 3, you can also create reminders or take notes to always remember what you have to do. Type them using a keyboard or use Siri.

You can synchronize the app on all your Apple devices, but unfortunately, it’s a paid application. It’s a one-time payment, not a subscription model, and the price is different for each device. The cost of an app for iPhone and iWatch is $9.99, for iPad $19.99, and for macOS $49.99.
