$ 1.99

PixtoCam is a unique app that allows you to use your device on Android Wear as a viewfinder for your phone camera. There are many similar apps out there, and most work great, but we love the features that PixtoCam has to offer. The target audience is photographers, and the app lets you take pictures, zoom, use a timer, adjust the flash, and more. You can also use it as a utility that allows you to see on the watch what you point the phone at beyond your line of sight.

Pocket casts

Most music apps have added support for Android Wear, but podcast apps are not. Pocket Casts is a great podcast app that contains a huge amount of content available in both audio and video formats. Support Android Wear includes the ability to pause / play podcasts and set intervals. The app is as good as Android Wear supports podcasts at all.

Another way to use your device on Android Wear is through fitness. You have Google Fit, which counts your steps and offers a number of other features, but if you want more, try Runtastic.

Although not available for some time, the Store for Android Wear is still a must have app for owners of Android Wear devices. It allows you to quickly find Android Wear apps, which is great since the Google Play Store still doesn't do it very well. All apps for Android Wear have links to the Play Store, which is the safest place to grab apps, and you can find any tips and tricks to make your Wear device perform better than ever. The app is completely free.

Wear messenger

$ 1.62

SMS app to send text messages from device to Android Wear. Not many text messaging apps support SMS, so if yours doesn't, take a look. The app even includes a built-in keyboard so you can text your friends. The full QWERTY is not that good, but the T9 keyboard is very handy for short messages. A fun little sms app and it definitely works on Wear!
