Does anyone know of any apps out there that would enable you to view passbook files on an android wear device, specifically a Moto 360. Have had a search and I couldn't seem to see any?

Are you looking to actually view the passbook file on your watch or more worried about the notification? I recently switched from an iPhone to a Moto X and loaded up all my loyalty programs into Google Wallet. While I can't SEE the actual "passbook file" on the watch, I do get the Wallet notification on the phone and watch when I'm near a store that I've loaded up a loyalty card for (like Starbucks).

We can't get Google Wallet in the UK. I am mainly interested in getting the passbook file to load on the watch so that I don't need to get my phone out to scan the QR code at the cinema.
I can not wait for a working Philips Hue app. I am checking the Gear store every few days. A few have been added since but there are either issues with it working on and off or the Widget not working. I need the widget!
Also, a Samsung Multiroom speaker update for Tizen 4! I searched this up before getting the Galaxy Watch and it looks like there is one for Tizen 3 but nothing for Tizen 4 yet.... Boo
What are you waiting for?
Yeah, it's frustrating to see so many apps available for WearOS that are not available on Tizen. I have the LTE enabled Galaxy Watch and would love to be able to leave my phone behind at home sometimes and still have access to the functionality of my favorite apps. Hoping these app developers start getting us some content on Tizen! Here's my wish list: Alert360, Amazon Music, Uber, Lyft, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Skype, Skype for Business, Google Maps.

I thought I knew what I was getting in to when I bought the watch but with many devs not updating their apps, the app list for the Galaxy watch is less than the already sparse Gear S3!
The Spotify app is pretty good so my local music needs are fulfilled but apps like Skype, SfB and Uber would be an excellent addition to the watch.
WhatsApp, I can do with the replying to notifcations. I don't need to look through previous convos.
Google Maps, I paid £1 for a companion app. Works really well for turn by turn navigation. It dosn't give you the birds eye view but it guides very very well and hasn't failed me yet. Start a journey on Google Maps (On your phone) and it will auto start the compantion app on the watch. Its called "Gear Navigation". Free app for watch but paid app app on Google Play.
Having Uber on my wrist.. Might make it too easy!
I think there is an Uber app for Tizen now
Having just transferred from gear s3 to Galaxy watch, ALL my apps (and they are a lot) that were bought for the gear (tizen3) now work for Galaxy watch (tizen4). There is a Phillips hue app in the store and an Uber app too also for Galaxy watch. You may need to change your country store to USA to see them all (there is a topic for this under the gear forum). The Uber app only though works only with a Samsung phone.
I would like to get a podcast app.
Spotify don't have podcasts on the watch app.. Why, just why?..
Audible would be another app, then I can leave my phone @ home.
I believe Tizen has a bigger market share than WearOS now, surely developers will notice?
I talked with customer service at Audible.
They have an app for the apple watch.
I sugested that they make an app for the Galaxy watch too.
They thanked me and forwarded the request.
If there are more Audible customers here, it will probably help if you did the same.
Chat with them here: https://www.audible.com/contactus?n1=something_else&n2=other
Is there any application that I can use for remotely turn on or off Wi-Fi, flash light, sound... On my Samsung device from my Galaxy watch? I think there was some application on Gear S3 but I cannot remember how it calls....

That's the one I looking for. Thanks ?
Personally, I just want an app that stores notification history so that I can access old messages. There is 1 old app called NWS that does this but it drains the watch battery like MAD (5% per hour just from this app).
I am getting so frustrated by the lack of this simple feature that I will either make the app myself or return the watch.

I can't seem to find how to change my store country to US. Can you give me a link or tell me how I can do it? There are two apps which I want from the US country store: Spotify and Twitter Trends.

Hi, please see below, this is one of the several threads on the subject, basically you need a vpn app on your phone to produce a US IP address and the Sim card removed:

Thanks. I've tried it as you said without the sim card and it worked flawlessly. All that's left now is to find more apps to download
A Good GPX tracker as Oruxmaps and a Wunderlist integration.

Is there a way to extract the wachfaces from my Galaxy s7 and transfer them to my new S9? Because some of the watchfaces I have are no longer in the apps store so they don't show up on my new phone.
It should show in my apps section of galaxy store

they don't. That is my issue.. They do on my old phone but not in my new phone because they are no longer in the apps store. When I search for that specific title it can't find it. And when i send myself the link and open it it says this app is no longer available.
With which app I could get into folder on watch with installed watch faces to copy face to PC?
I would like to edit one of the faces as I saw one guy on the forum did. I couldn't get to him for details how he did it.
Maybe someone has a clue?
Is it maybe possible to catch face on the phone during installation from Galaxy store? I tried to check gear app folder while installing but nothing appeared there.
Any way to view notes from galaxy note 9 on galaxy watch? I use my note to write down a bunch of skus of soils and mulch and when I'm driving the forklift I'd like to just look at my watch instead of having to constantly get my phone out of my pocket to see what I need to grab. Thanks in advanced
I found out there's this app called Lister. You download it both on the watch and phone and you can sync lists or other kinds of notes. I find it very useful for grocery shopping
