MOST APPLE WATCH applications are bundled with iPhone apps. For example, if you have the Roku app on your phone, you can control it with an Apple Watch app, and you can tick off to-dos using the Things watch component. There are also some completely free apps that are solely Watch-specific. Let's take a look at some.
PEDOMETER++
> FROM pedometer.app
> ALSO ON iPhone, iMessage
This ad-supported freebie is an iPhone app with a very worthy watch component. With Pedometer++, you can keep track of your daily and weekly step counts, see how far you've walked, and as it integrates with the Health app. it can help keep an eye on your overall fitness regime. You can share your results through iMessage too.
PARRITY
> FROM App Store
>ALSO ON iPhone
Apple has yet to release a version of Safari for Apple Watch, but this doesn't mean you can't browse the web from your wrist. Harnessing the power of your iPhone, Parrity brings rich web content to your watch, with an interface designed specially for the smaller screen. A watchOS complication gives quick access too.
