Working Apps for the Moto 360 (Constantly Updating)

So, one thing I've noticed out of the box is that a lot of the apps on the app store do NOT work on the Moto 360 as of the moment. I'm going to try to compile a list of all that do and don't, so if you guys could help out, that would be awesome!
EDIT: Added categories. Would you like links as well or would it become too polluted?
EDIT: Links now added

-MTG LifeTracker (MAGIC THE GATHERING YES I KNOW)
-Birdie Wear (Very well done Flappy Bird ripoff. Given me a good hour or two of playtime)
WORKS BUT NEEDS TWEAKING:
-Android Wear 2048 (But awkwardly rotates to the side so you would have to aim your fist at your stomach to play xD)
-MiuCalc L (Works but a lot is cut off due to circular design)
NOT WORKING:

-Wear Calc
-Wear Camera Remote (Sends Camera feed to watch to control it. Does not provide feed, only black screen)

That's what I've compiled so far. Please PM me or post so I can add more

I can't for the life of me get the app drawer to open... Swiping to the left brings up nothing. I even downloaded the browser app just to populate an app drawer. Still Nada...
Update: I have gotten the wear launcher working. But internet browser I'm still having issues with.

Yeah, the drawer takes a little getting used to. Sometimes it takes a little while for it to load on the watch, but after a few minutes you can get it working

My app "Facer" works, allows you to make custom watchfaces. I would post the link but then that would be breaking the rules on "selling paid apps".

This is specifically for ones that work with the Moto 360. Surprisingly, a lot need some tweaks or flat out don't work at all.

No problem. People can check out that list and see how they work and look in the Moto. I just try them and keep or uninstall.

ANDROID WEAR section added to Google Play

Just noticed ANDROID WEAR section added to Google Play.
On Nexus 7 Play Store menu select Store Home, Apps, and under the Home tab is a button labelled ANDROID WEAR.
It has sections for: Featured Apps, Social Apps, Tools For Android Wear, Communication Apps, Health & Fitness, Productivity Apps, Travel & Local, More Apps For Wear.
There is still much value in Wear Apps like:
Wear Store for Android
and
Wear HQ for Android.
Moto 360 users still have to deal the problem that not many apps (correctly) support the round screen 320x290 pixels. Some apps still crash opening on Moto 360, while others have design flaws.
For example, Wear Mini Launcher has a lot of utility, yet it reserves a portion of the screen edge permanently (adjustable more or less in settings).
Some apps like the Calculator For Android Wear do not work with Wear Mini Launcher because they place buttons right up to the left, bottom, and right screen edges.
Note: This thread is not about criticizing hard working app developers. I'm just attempting to inform people to improve experience with Moto 360.

Awesome, that Wear Store app is use full.
Thank you

Looks exactly like what you get when you hit browse suggested apps from within the android wear app.

They changed that when they added the extra options originally it just brought you to the list that's now featured apps and that's all it showed.

Hi Guys,
I'm a developer of Wear HQ for Android Wear, and I'm looking to enchant and improve my app. What would you like to be fixed or added in Wear HQ app ?
Thanks for feedback,
Luka

Best sports score notification apps for Moto 360?

I will be setting up my new Moto 360 and was curious which sports scoreboard (and news) apps people were using to get score update notifications on their watches. In the past I used ESPN and 360 Sports but hopefully there are better ones at pushing notifiations to the watch?

I use espn for most sports but for international soccer I us Forza soccer. Visca Barça!

The native Google Now app on your phone does a great job. Just add your teams and you get card notifications just like weather or anything else. Seamless

:good::good: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sofascore.results

I would have to say FotMob from the Playstore has been great for me on my Moto 360 and I ended up paying for the pro version.

Really like TheScore app. I have custom notifications set-up for all of my teams already and those get pushed to the watch as well. Great for keeping up on games when I am not home and now I don't have to pull my phone out to look at it to see the notification.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I will check out TheScore and SofaSports.

Best Android Wear apps for our Huawei

I was wondering which apps are really recommended to install when starting using the watch (or Android wear watch in general)
e.g. sleep as android or remote camera
and is there an app like flux or screen filter for smartwatches (to dim the screen for dark areas cause brightness 1 is still too bright)

No one that can recommend cool Android Wear apps?

Always On watch, PDF reader, Weareal, Wear edge controls...

Feel the Wear

If you have a Logitech Harmony, I recommend Harmony Wear.

no, don't have one

flux and sleep as android both have plugins that work with the watch
i have both of them paid versions
f.lux controls your watch screen as well as your phones
and sleep as android monitors your movement and heart rate etc when you wear the watch to sleep. (i charge it in the morning as soon as i wake up, and its at 100% before i am (shower food etc) )

Always On Watch and Wear Edge Controls
Id love to know, why, when I click either one of those links, and see the play store, and I click to see which of my devices are compatible with the apps, both apps tell me that my Huawei Watch is incompatible, theres an X next to my watch in the device compatibility list (and a checkmark next to my Note 5)

One reason could be if you're on the Developer Preview. If so, you have to install directly on the watch with the watch's Play Store.

Bought an Android!! Good luck for anyone else in my shoes. Thanks apple for me going to the other side.
Make a watch with a real clock faces and a phone that works with other watch's.
-----------------------
I have an Iphone and no Android. I have ADB working right now and like to side load some faces but they all have a .watch file. Can I put the application of Facer or WatchMaker on the watch and then adb a .watch file? Need a way to make this work and I know there are a-lot of smart Tech Cats out there!! Please Help
Cant find any .APK of nice watch faces or even Rolex Mov and others!

1. Install watchmaker from the playstore on your smartphone.
2. Go to https://plus.google.com/communities/106982503578105386202
3. Find a watchface you like, then download it or send it to your dropbox. (I use dropbox myself)
4. Download the .watch file to your smartphone. (I use export from Dropbox to Downloads folder on my Nexus)
5. Open watchmaker and use the "import" button on the top-right of the app and browse to where you saved the .watch file
That's it. Now you can use the watchface by clicking "Set Watchface".

^good stuff!

Best apps I use:
2048
Bees Recorder
Browser
File Boss
Find My Phone
Heart Trace. THE BEST APP IN THE UNIVERSE
Photos
Pocket Casts
Shazam
TypeIt Wear SMS

Yeah, to stay ontopic, here's my top favorites as of now:
Yatse (if you have a Kodi mediaplayer, you can use your watch as a remote and browse your media)
Domoticz (I use Domoticz as a home automation tool on a Raspberry and this app enables me to switch lights, heating, etc.)
Endomondo (for heartrate monitoring during workouts, but Fitbit is more accurate)
Spotify (I own BT wireless headphones and with this, I'm able to control my Spotify from my wrist instead of taking my phone out of my pocket)

I would recommend Coffee SMS for Android wear. However, I uninstalled it because it does not show group SMS. If they update it to show group SMS, then I will get it agian.

A Must Have!
SmartWear Dev

Automagic (the best one so far)
I've developed a flow that my mobile change to silent mode when I open the Theather Mode on my watch.
I also use another flows, start and stop a record on my mobile, make a call... and so on.
