It is a testament to the simplicity of Facebook Messenger as a service and the app development that has gone in to these solutions because the end result is a communication setup that rivals any other on the market with ease. Indeed, it is possible that on a very busy day you will be able to converse with friends much more frequently than you could without an extremely clever Apple Watch strapped to your wrist.

Third-party apps Dark Sky Dark Sky One of the best weather apps on iPhone and iPad has come to Apple Watch You’ll use it to… The trusted weather app Check current weather As one of the creators of Dark Sky, Adam Grossman, said himself: “From the first time I strapped on an Apple Watch, I knew it was the See the conditions for the next 24 hours platform Dark Sky was always meant for.” He went on to explain that his reason for adapting the app to work on the watch was so users Check temperature wouldn’t have to take their phone out of their pockets to check notifications – especially in rainy weather when you don’t want to Find the actual temperature and see what risk having water hit the device. it will feel like Dark Sky for Apple Watch is not a trimmed-down version of the See future weather popular iOS app; it has simply been adapted to have the same functions work on the watch’s See the forecast for the next five days smaller display.

Your notifications Notifications are key to Dark Sky’s usefulness. If the weather conditions are going change soon, the app will let you know by sending a notification saying something like: “Light rain starting in xx minutes.” Dark Sky does come at a small cost on the App Store but if you’re unsure wether or not it is worth the money, we suggest first trying out the smartphone version of the app, which is free. After a few days you will see just how accurate the app can be and then decide if the purchase is justified in your mind.

When you then want to listen to one of the saved songs, it’s simply a case of opening the iPhone app and scrolling through what’s been saved. What you should find after doing this is that it clears up Shazam on your Apple Watch quite considerably and you may find it works a little faster as well.
