Recently came across a post saying watchtube is dead. I didn’t even know it existed :/ Wondering if there are any other apps dedicated for the watch OS that you use on a daily basis?
Recently came across a post saying watchtube is dead. I didn’t even know it existed :/ Wondering if there are any other apps dedicated for the watch OS that you use on a daily basis?
Here are my favorite third party apps:
WorkOutDoors - Offline maps!
Just Press Record - If you set it as a complication, as soon as you press it it starts recording and you’ll be able to see the recording on all your devices and get a transcription of what you said.
Athlytic - Basically turns your Apple Watch into a Whoop strap for much cheaper.
Watch for Tesla - Control my Tesla from my Watch + turns it into the key for my Tesla
MiniCord - Discord for my Watch. I only use it for messages
Pro Compass For Watch - It’s similar to the built in compass app BUT it actually shows your waypoints on an actual freaking map (it’s mind blowing that the stock compass app doesn’t have this)
ThermoWatch - Control Nest thermostat from Watch
uBrowser - Browser for the Watch.
Hello Weather - The new Apple weather app requires too many clicks to see what I want. Hello Weather shows me it much faster.
I will give uBrowser a try.
Note the Apple Watch natively supports some web browsing if you ask Siri to “Search web for…” and click then click “open page” on the results.
Thanks for the detailed app write-ups!
Just adding that you don’t need to ask Siri, you simply can create shortcut and expose it to the watch, from there you can use it in many ways, including the action button
Do you have a link to Pro Compass? Can’t find it anywhere.
It’s hard to find because it’s only available on the Watch. So you have to search on the App Store directly on your Watch. I don’t think I can link to it
I was able to find it here

Thanks!!
Liking the look and sound of Athlytic! Good shout.
What do you use Just press Record for? There are probably a bunch of things but I just never think of it.
