There are a few apps mentioned in other threads but I thought I would start a thread to log all the Wear apps that can show off the most unique feature of our watch! So far:
- Phone app - use the watch as a speaker phone
- Google Play Music - play synced tracks on the watch
- Video for Android Wear&YouTube - will play videos on the watch
- Glide - Video Chat Messenger - plays video messages on the watch
- Accessibility settings - will give audio feedback and read out the time
Any more guys?

Open Play Music on your phone, go to settings, and there is a section near the bottom for syncing to Android Wear.

How do you have Light Flow enabled? I have it set up for Wear but it doesn't make a sound on my Huawei.

I know, what I'm saying is I can't get sounds to work even though I looked through all the settings and ticked everything for Wear.
Edit: Got it. It used media volume not notification volume.
Anyone have issues with Facebook messenger calls are dropping?

Can you expand on what you did? I'd love to get notification sounds on this watch.
Papercraft! It's the first game with sound I've found...
Skype works without issue to answer calls. However didnt found how to make a call.

Also you using light flow to get notification sound on the watch, works awesome.
And I'm using Wear media, its a player to play locale media files.

Would you be kind enough to show how you Configure lightflow to get notification (sounds) on the Watch. Thanks

I just tell Google to "set audible alarm for ----AM. It sure beats a too-weak vibration for waking up!

Yes for sure I had to play around much with the settings but meanwhile I have a realy good working setup.
I was in touch with the developer the current version may have some problems with syncing the sound to the watch.
If there is an error on the app on the watch like, "Couldn't load file...", you need to wait for the update. Not sure when it will be coming.
I figured out in my case it works best if I deactiveate the vibration and the sound for every app I want to control with light flow but keep the led notification.
Change this in the notification settings of the app you want to control. Whatsapp, Inbox.....
For the app specific notification settings in lightflow following options are important.
Navigate to the sound tab and check these:
Location: wearable, wearable and device, or wearable if connected...
Volume control method: Lightflow controlled notification volume
Thank you, found an easier and better way by using smart wear notification app - link above and works like a charm.

Hello.
Just want to share some very good news - there's ain Play Store called "Poweramp Remote 4 Android Wear", and it works with Moto 360 like a charm. The app is paid, but it finally allows to use Moto 360 to control music as fully as Sony's SmartWatch 2 used to do.
WBR, Draco
first off, FINALLY THANK YOU.
second: few small things to make it perfect:
1. folder list
2. metadata is sometimes off, mostly pictures but sometimes I'll go to an artist and not see a song I know I have...if I find the another way the artist will show as same.
3. browsing on general should mirror poweramp...one of the reasons I will never switch away from poweramp is the way you can browse for a song: folders and artist then album.
there's one more annoyance that no one do anything about though and that's the ever present default notification that comes first when you play music . Once you can get this stuff working this will be as good as the app in SW2...really missed that app
Hi.
I'm not the developer of this app, I've just posted here about it You can contact developer via Play Store. As for the default music notification, it drives me mad also, but apparently there's nothing to be done yet - Android Wear is sort of a parody on the real Android...
WBR, Draco.
I looked at it but have been a supporter of the MusicBoss for Wear app. It can control pretty much any app that controls volume and the dev is responsive to fixes! I have been following the dev since the Kickstarter Pebble. So he is a user as well.

Already there
I have also Music Boss (and on my pebble) but very huge difference, with Music Boss we can not browse Album, Artist, Title, and not setup for equalizer.
For Wear I use Stellio found before the Power Amp app (I have also Power Amp on my phone).

True, but I like to actually see what I am doing there on the phone, which is better to view the settings IMO. I have tried Stellio as well and is ok, but I gravitate back to MB for just playback and volume controls.
Hi guys..
I'm looking for a way to control my music player.
Specifically the ability to fast forward/rewind within a song track... (or even better if it can do track-bar scrubbing) from my watch.
I've been searching around for apps and i couldn't find any with such functionality so far.. Anyone here have any ideas? maybe some tasker gurus...?
Thanks!
other than the skip forward or back songs?

Yup. I know there are quite a number of wear apps that support skipping tracks and adjusting volume..
I'm looking for a way to "rewind" or "fast forward" to a specific part of a song..
Any ideas?
Music boss is a nice one

I tried boss.. Apparently the fast forwarding function works only with very specific apps like audio books.. It doesn't work with normal music players.. I even emailed them and asked about it, no luck...
Is there any app other than google play music that can play songs stored in the watch?

As far as I know, the only other player that can do that is the Xperia Music app.

If you use poweramp you could try poweramp remote 4 android wear. It let you browse your artists, albums and songs on your watch and than play them on your phone

I was going to create a thread about this, but found yours.
So does anyone know as why would youtube open (and show an error) on my phone, when i hit play music on zenwatch?
Thanks in advance.
Check the Android Wear app on your phone. It lets you set default actions for things you tell you watch to do. Make sure you have an actual music player set for Play Music.
Hey guys, i posted this question in Help & Troubleshooting as well, but figured there is more traffic here, so ere it goes again.

Youtube is not my default app, i checked.
Thanks in advance.
Make sure that in the Android Wear app the default app for playing music is the the player you want to use.

Only certain music player apps have Android Wear extensions. You can try using Music Boss for Wear from the market. That will allow you watch to issue headset remote commands to any music app on Android. I used to have it for Pebble and it may be worth the few dollars if you don't want to use a Wear compatible music app.

OK thanks, will give it a try.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Edge phone and although I see "call a car" as one of the available "actions" in the Android Wear app, I'm not able to click on it so I can't associate Uber to that action. Could someone check if they have the same issue? Does anyone know of a solution?

No uber
You can use lyft for wear I believe, uber app not yet supported. I think there might be a couple of a smaller taxi services that you can use also. Yes, in the browse app section under watch faces selection,there is gett taxi,and lyft under travel and local section.
I am seeing the same thing. I was not able to use Uber on the watch.. Maybe an update is coming from Uber...
IT's not just Uber, I have a lot of apps like this that I cannot associate an application with. Even "Play music" does not work because I cannot associate the action with the music player on my phone. Bit dumb.

I am able to associate Play Music with my watch. I noticed that while your watch is syncing it doesn't show up as an option but once its fully synced you should be able to choose Play Music as an action for your watch.

thanks mate
it's not a big deal for me, because all it does is launch the app on the phone anyway. If I stream music via bluetooth from my phone to my car, I can pause it and play it again from the watch.
It would be nice if someone made a custom ROM for the watch which allowed you to associate any app
I agree it should be opened up a bit.. Hopefully we may see some traction as speaker support is inbound..
