After using android phones and tablets for over 5 years starting from droid1 to one m8,
I actually wanted to know why people use iphone so I bought that about 5 months ago.
Couple days ago, Google released Android wear app for the ios devices.
I was able to get phone app, message app, gmail app, 3rd party messenger apps, and 3rd party music apps working.
Does anyone else use moto 360 with ios? If so, what other apps can be used?
Another nice question here, really i want to learn that too.I have just got a Moto 360 and i want to use it with full productivity.
Can you tell me how you got 3rd party music controls?

Everyone has to have some favourite apps out there, share them here to get the word out there so others that may not have heard of them can try them out too!
My favourite apps are:
1) Tasker- This app runs everything on my phone and is invaluable. It's got a steep learning curve but once you know what to do there is endless possibilities.
2) Beluga - Just discovered this app earlier in the week and it's already replaced Kik as my go to messaging app. It is a group chat messenger that has native iphone and android apps, but also works through text, so any friends without smartphones can still communicate, great for organizing events and parties, but obviously also works for 1 on 1 conversations as well. A blackerry version is in the works as well. The UI is beautiful to boot.
3) Titanium backup - Flashing with my GT- i9000m scares the crap out of me due to samsungs garbage design for the phone risking it dying every time, but I know that if it does this will have all my info there when the phone gets replaced.
4) MX moto - not the greatest of games but I use it to kill time without draining battery like something like dungeon defenders does.
5) 3 (cubed) - by far my favourite music player, I used this app for over a year trying out other music apps but none of them had the same charm. I tried out double twist, even bought air sync (which doesn't work at all) the player crashed randomly all the time and the pc client is slow and laggy garbage, deleted it all and now its back to 3 for me!
ADW Launcher EX - Best launcher, if only it had the launcher pro plus widget lol
Handcent SMS - Best one for me
Beautiful Widget - Awesome weather animations and all..
SMS Backup+ - Saves sms to gmail
Fring - Use frinngout a lot!
Super power

Google Maps

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

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.
Can only install third party APP to solve it?
Android Wear has no IOS version, right?
I don't think there's even a bad way, let alone a good one.
Aerlink is the best way so far. Works with most notifications that would show up on the iPhone.
You still need an Android phone handy so you can sync the app to the watch.
You have to download the app from Google Play and sync it to your watch and then you have to download the Aerlink app from iTunes app store (it's not free) and install it on your iPhone.
Here's the thread over in the Android Wear section.

There is an app called wearaday. I have no chance to test it myself
Hey there, I want to buy this smartwatch, but I'd like to know in first if Google Keep works on this android wear with an iPhone. And if it works, can I see the photo attached to note?
Hi! Just bought this phone because it's just too cheap and has decent specs. Actually, bought 2 of them, they were about 70$ each, with some 15$ extra headphones bonus
Phone came with Fire OS 4.6.3. Managed to install Google services and store, Google now launcher and make default with Home Switcher(listed as "incompatible" in Play store, had to sideload it...many other apps are "incompatible"). That was problem number one...
After that, installed Youtube app, which works, but 360p only and no cardboard option(360 vr videos). Installed iYTBP(modded youtube app) and videos work at higher resolution(720p default) but still no VR. Also default app player doesn't work well.
Installed Facebook and seemed ok, but videos open in browser and don't autoplay in app. I understand whatsupp has problems playing videos...
All these seem to happen because phone is not really known to the apps and they run in "simple" mode.
Is there any way to make apps think it is another phone that they "know" has enough hardware to run them fully? Because it really has...the soc is still strong enough and gyro is there. I will try my best to keep it as stock as possible for warranty reasons(2 years...)
Stumbled across some post where someone said you have to modify build.prop, I think, but can't find it anywhere. Of course, I would need to root it first...
Any more tips welcome, this is best buy for 70$ + bonus and it's really selling well around Romania right now, it seems.
As a side note, battery life seems ok, I got around 5h SOT without sim first day of use, gestures and sensors enabled and Google launcher.
For those other newbs, this site is useful to a point: http://spinyourfire.com/. Home switcher app is attached here, as it does not show up in Google play for this phone.
Google now works fine for me, including wallpapers and widgets and seems to have full functionality.
Thanks!
