If you are one of them, we have selected 16 apps below that we count as our favorites.

Apple Watch: You need to know these 16 apps

Google Maps

Google Maps was one of the first apps available for the Apple Watch. In 2017, however, the research giant surprisingly pulled the plug and buried the watch holder. Three years later, however, Google seems to have understood: Since September 2020, Google Maps has again been navigating the streets on the wrist. The Apple Watch only gives you the basic functions to get to your planned destination, but the information is definitely enough.

Diet

Strava combines fitness tracking with social media elements. The iOS app also works well with the Apple Watch and shows all important information like distance or heart rate when running or cycling.

Automatic sleep monitoring pillow

There are a number of sleep tracking apps for the Apple Watch. A recommended representative of this category is the Pillow app. If you leave your Apple Watch on while you sleep, Pillow automatically records your sleep and analyzes it. The app places the result for evaluation on the heart rhythm which is also recorded. Pillow works with Apple Health and provides information on your sleep pattern there as well. The data exchange works automatically. If you want, you can also record the disturbing noises we make in our sleep and then listen to them.

Moodhistory

There are many fitness trackers for the Apple Watch, but how about a mood tracker? With Moodhistory you can create a kind of mood diary and record how well or bad you were in a certain period of time. If you wish, you can also export the result as a PDF using the iPhone app.

Citymapper

Anyone living in Berlin, Brandenburg, Hamburg, Cologne, Düsseldorf, Bonn or the Ruhr area should take a look at Citymapper. The app guides you precisely through public transport in selected cities. In addition to German cities, various metropolises such as London, Paris, New York and Tokyo are also supported.

V for Wikipedia

This Wikipedia client for iOS was developed by a German company and has already won several awards. In combination with the Apple Watch, the feature that automatically gives you information about places of interest in your area is particularly useful. Well done too: if you want, you can continue reading the Wikipedia articles below right on your iPhone.

Buy me a cake

The shopping list app is available in web, Android and iOS versions. Thanks to Apple Watch support, you can easily access your shopping list via the smartwatch and have both hands free to load the desired products into the cart.

Life line 2

Lifeline 2 brings the classic computer game genre of text adventure to your Apple Watch. Of course, you don’t have to type anything here – which would be quite exhausting given the screen size – instead you are presented with various options for action. In the game, you play the role of a young woman who must save her brother. Whether you can do this depends on your decisions.
