Can you use google wallet for the time being? I know the nfc is intended for Samsung Pay, but does it work with Android Pay? As for apps, Google Maps mostly, and use Google Voice's speech engine, Nuance hasn't been great in a while, they're good, but not great. I would also like to see S Health more fleshed out on the watch like being able to add foods you eat and look up foods too from the watch. Also in the same app allow for sleep tracking, since I'm sure the accelerometer can handle it. Also bring Grey Scale over to the watch and display color temperature modes like on the Note and S series of phones since it's a little too oversaturated as is. Maybe some keyboard options too like a rotary one to pair with the bezel.

Integration with Google's MyTracks app for tracking GPS paths would be great!

[Samsung Gear S2] bill340:
The S Health sleep tracking does not use the Gear S2 as sleep tracker. That is the problem...

- RSS reader!

- Spotify controller, browse music

- Simple HTML5 browser (ppl might make small custom web pages, eg for server control, music library, flipping some switch, anything)

- Skype voice call

- Send my location to buddy

- Logitech squeezebox remote (or HTML browser)

- Sonos remote

- Shoutcast/internet radio with attached BT headset (standalone on watch)

- Dashboard like watch face, customisable with RSS feed news, watch/phon battery, email and notification count, calendar, etc. (There are some, but not good enough yet)

- DLNA player

- Power point remote for presentations

- NFC tag relay (scan with watch, but relays to phone for actions)

- Google Keep (give me my shopping list!)

- TomTom mydrive - maybe as simple as a list of recent and saved destinations with the ability to send the route to the car GPS.

That's all I could think of right now... :)
[Samsung Gear S2] gsk3rd:
I would like some sort of note ability like one note of keep.
[Samsung Gear S2] ecksehl:
Test any apps?

I have a verizon Gear S2 and I'm willing to test any apps people are developing or wanting to be tested. Just let me know what I can do to help!

I would personally love to see a Spotify app that lets me listen to music on a run, Milk music player is absolutely horrid and I don't have the music files for the specific playlists I want to listen to. Pandora would also be nice.

Other than that, Android Pay would be awesome, A messaging app that works with other apps than the default samsung messages app (Google Messenger for instance, gives me notifications, I can reply as they pop up but when I go into the messages app on the watch it gives me a warning about not using the default messaging app on the phone and I can't see any incoming messages, only the ones I send.)

There really aren't any other apps that I think I would really need, mainly just a solid music app that remotely connects to spotify or pandora and thats my biggest want. I'm in the process of learning Python and I want to move to being able to develop apps, so in the future I can assist people in making apps for new platforms like this.
[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
Have you tried Textra? I switched to that as it works well with S2, you get all the capabilities of reading & replying, etc. as the standard messaging app. Still can't initiate a new message which I know some people want. Textra also as the delay before sending an SMS so you can make sure there are no typos which is not a feature available in the MM standard SMS app.

Hope that helps,

Fred
[Samsung Gear S2] ecksehl:
Question, using textra as default app on phone, does the gear s2 give you a msg "Unable to receive messages on the Gear. Change the default messaging app to Messages." I'm using a Note 4, and was using the Google Messenger but it kept giving me this msg, and wont let me see texts I've received.
[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
Textra is working perfectly as the default texting app on my Nexus 6 running a CyanogenMod based ROM (AICP) with the Gear S2 (I can read, reply, clear notifications, etc. from the watch).

You may running into a problem with Samsung's Touchwiz stuff which is the reason I gave up on Samsung phones. Do you get messages on the S2 if you install Messages instead of Google Messenger. Couldn't hurt to install Textra and give it a try.

Fred
[Samsung Gear S2] Pekeh:
Im also voting for:

Whatsapp, not just send new messages but be able to see the chat log.

Recipes app, its nice to be cooking and not needing to touch the phone screen or unlock it.

Lyrics app (just like Musixmatch)

A decent remote camera controller

Also, if there is some way we can send Samsung or developers these ideas let me know, this is the only forum I've found that cares about Gear S2 app development.
[Samsung Gear S2] ecksehl:
Oh I get messages no matter what app I use on my phone, the issue comes when I don't immediately reply to them and want to view my messages on my watch by going into the app. That's when it gives me the error. If I remember the msg that was sent to me I can easily reply to it using the threads of texts I've already replied to, but I can't see any of what is sent to me.

Thankfully I don't have too much longer to have this phone, I'm heavily considering getting a Nexus 6P. I really love my note, and I use the note taking abilities a lot but I am wanting a stock android experience more and more.
[Samsung Gear S2] cylent:
I disagree with you and here's why.

You bought a opine companion in the mask of a watch.

What apps are useful that can be used on the watch that are as good as the phone?

The watch is meant to tell you the time and push notifications so that you don't have to turn your screen phone on this wasting less battery.

This is no inspector gadget device.
[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
I don't understand: "want to view my messages on my watch by going into the app". What app? What gives you the error? I'm confused, obviously.

Fred
[Samsung Gear S2] ecksehl:
No worries. So the messaging app on the watch, when I open it up and I'm using some other texting app on my phone, other than the default one, it gives me that error and I can't see any messages I've received, only ones I've sent.

If I see an incoming notification on my watch and can reply to it as it comes in, then it works, I just can't view what was sent to me after the fact. I would love to be able to use whatever messaging app I want on my phone, so textra for example, and still be able to see all the messages i've received when viewing the watch app.

Hopefully that clears it up.

1. Poweramp app (which can choose song and playlist)

2. Better calender app (which can add schedule)
[Samsung Gear S2] rodalfa:
In my pebble time a had one very simplr and useful app: shopping list with voice recognition.

Only one view, with elements in the list, the first one Add (open micro and add element), and the rest of elements can be switched completed, at the end delete completed. I used it everyday to add things to buy (by voice), and in the supermarket to mark completed.

Muslims Prayer Times......It will be great if someone can create a widget to view the today prayers times...
[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
Sorry for the delay in getting back. I understand now. I have not seen this behavior and it sounds weird as on my watch once a notification arrives it is there even if it gets disconnected from the phone. Have you tried resetting the watch to see if that helps?

Fred

Hello!

I would like to have an app where I can write and save notes. It must not be Endomondo, but maybe a more simple one. Just text and nothing more.
[Samsung Gear S2] Soryuu:
Oh dear, okay. My list:

-Google Now, obvious reasons

-Something that can plug into Google Keep

-Spotify controller

-Something for public transport

-Something that lets me see Facebook messages and create new ones
[Samsung Gear S2] darekz:
For Spotify control you may want to try wearable widgets from play store. It works with some of widgets on s2
[Samsung Gear S2] nameit:
He darekz, do you have some names.
[Samsung Gear S2] Pekeh:
The stock music player works for me when using spotify, you just need to make sure you are listening from phone instead of Bluetooth headset.
[Samsung Gear S2] SRZ1977:
Are you guys able to get notifications directly from Gmail? My watch does not get anything from Gmail. I have to use Samsungs email app to get email. I want to use Gmail instead.
[Samsung Gear S2] kornelius1982:
No problems with Gmail.

Did you mark Gmail in notifications settings?
[Samsung Gear S2] darekz:
Wearable Widgets. It allows to put phone widget on your S2
[Samsung Gear S2] nameit:
Thanks, but I cant find the S2 app in the Samsung store. The Android version I installed already.
[Samsung Gear S2] Soryuu:
Yeah, that's what I currently do. It'd be nice to have a dedicated Spotify controller though so you could browse through tracks right on the watch (especially if you have 1000+ tracks saved)
[Samsung Gear S2] darekz:
Use search function to find it.
[Samsung Gear S2] nameit:
Maybe only for Gear and not on gear S2? Or depending on country.
[Samsung Gear S2] nameit:
I found this on there site: 'wearable Widgets is not yet available as a clock face for the Gear S2 (we're working on it)'

So I have to wait a bit.
[Samsung Gear S2] darekz:
It could depend on country. I'm running it on S2 3g from Tmobile. It is not available as watch face yet. You have to start app on phone to see your widgets. It is still quite useful for me . I can check my calendar pro widget for upcoming events without opening phone, start shazam for tagging song right from watch and few more. It is listed in gear s section in Samsung app store but installs on s2 without problem.
[Samsung Gear S2] kta:
I cannot see it either. It depends on the country. Is it a free app? Only free apps are visible in every country.
[Samsung Gear S2] ImJacksAmygdala:
Can you explain this please. I have heard another poster describe the same thing, but I do not understand. When I use my phone to navigate to the Samsung Gear Apps I only see Gear S2 apps. I do not see any device selection or separate device categories for listed apps. Someone else mentioned that they could install a Gear S app on their S2 classic and I would be interested to hear how many of those apps work on the Classic S2. Unfortunately this means no bezel control obviously.
[Samsung Gear S2] nameit:
Same here. Only the S2 apps
[Samsung Gear S2] Anto92italy:
Guys a little OT : is possible for you download apps in the s2 from other stores ? Or only from samsung store ? Because i ve seen in gear manager a voice that , if it s abilited, can do it .

Check it: gear manager>setting>info about gear > unknown source
[Samsung Gear S2] darekz:
All I did I installed free version of wearable widgets from play store and after that search gear store for wearable companion app. If you use paid version from play store you can install more than 1 widget and if you have more than one you use rotating bezel to switch between them.

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 AM ----------

Also it is a onetime purchase after the first one, then you can get all the widgets you want.
[Samsung Gear S2] kornelius1982:
Very true!
[Samsung Gear S2] Nickdeck:
I may be in the minority, but for me, the vibration isn't strong enough to always get my attention. I'd like an app that offers multiple bursts for notifications. I know Pebble has an app that lets you assign custom vibration patterns to different notifications. Like two long, one short for texts, etc.

I'll gladly be the first customer.
[Samsung Gear S2] khrei:
I'd love to see a disc golf scoring app! would willingly pay up to $20 for a good one
[Samsung Gear S2] Pinmac:
Nickdeck, I agree with the usefulness of multiple buzzes for notifications as I don't always pick them up. I have an app called Brrr which buzzes a few times when bluetooth contact is lost so you would think it would be possible for etxs and other notifications.
[Samsung Gear S2] kozlowski1472:
A screen Timeout adjustment

I'm an EMT, and need the ability to use my watch to take heart rates and respiratory rates. As it stands, the screen is either always on, which kills the battery super fast, or only on for 5 seconds. I need to adjust that to a 30 second time, but have no way to make that happen.
[Samsung Gear S2] mr neutron:
i believe the non 3g models received this as part of an update a while back. also verison 3g. i have a tmo 3g and have been complaining to samsung for this feature since nov 2015.. no love for tmo yet.
[Samsung Gear S2] mapobean:
FYI i sold my T-Mobile S2 Sport 3G and just purchased the S2 Classic 3G from T-Mobile and it came with the new update.
[Samsung Gear S2] mr neutron:
Alrighty then. No love for the CURRENT tmo customers
[Samsung Gear S2] bhsragent:
Needs the google app named Wear Aware. Amazingly the S2 does NOT provide an audible or vibration notification when the blue tooth connection is broken. Instead it just displays a screen that (if you're looking) says something like Disconnected will connect to cellular in 10 seconds.
[Samsung Gear S2] CaptainKremmen:
Controller with skip forward/back & jump forward/back

Listen to lots of podcasts/music and would like to be able to skip forward/back a couple of seconds, as well as jump on to next track, and control the volume, all on the same screen. The existing G2 widget only allows jump to next/prev track, and a complete mode switch to control the volume.

Haven't found anything better...
[Samsung Gear S2] Pinmac:
bhsragent, my S2 buzzes when the BT connection drops. As it only buzzes once and I sometimes miss it I have installed Brrr which buzzes multiple times when the BT connection goes down. I did post about this earlier on this thread but you may not have seen it.
[Samsung Gear S2] yugendreams:
The only thing keeping me from loving this watch is a decent voice navigation app and "Ok Google" integration.
[Samsung Gear S2] ThinkD:
However, it will soon give a "Hey Siri" integration :)
[Samsung Gear S2] KimberlyinMN:
Audible - I'd like to be able to listen to my audiobooks on my Gear S2. I did email Audible about this and they said that others have also requested this.

PocketCast - Listening to my podcasts would be great and being able to sync up with the phone.

Integration with Fitbit -Send steps TO Fitbit (Well, I'd really like direct integration with the Weight Watchers' site... but I'd be happy if the steps uploaded to Fitbit and then the steps would automatically go to WW.) Six pounds to get to my goal!

I have the S2 3G. I'd like to just leave the S7 at home on my walks. My dream is to be able to listen to either an Audible book or a podcast and have the progress synced to my phone.
[Samsung Gear S2] nirurin:
Any decent apps at all would be nice. I know samsung say that there are 1000 apps in the store, but 990 of them are watchfaces. Half of the remaining apps have 1 star rating and dont work. The other half came bundled with the watch anyway.

Oh, and there's Uber too.

Also, apparently there's some apps that only show up in the store if you have a Samsung phone, even though that was supposedly fixed ages ago.

Not even relatively mainstream companies like whatsapp are supporting the GearS2 anymore. Whatsapp notifications haven't worked properly for 2 months, and they seem to have decided not to bother correcting the problem.

It's also a bit annoying that all the app development in the samsung store seems to be in either spanish or russian. I have no problem with app being developed in other languages, but most professional developers would do a translation job before putting it onto the english store... although samsung probably only have the one store, and it isn't regional like google's.
[Samsung Gear S2] domtru:
Start the music app on your phone first then you can use your watch to manipulate the interface.
[Samsung Gear S2] kjdBonez:
Is there a place to find a complete list of apps available for the S2?

Also, is there any chance of this watch getting the ability to stream music from more mainstream apps like Google Music, Pandora, Spotify, etc? I understand you can stream on MilkMusic only (correct?).
[Samsung Gear S2] ShermCraig:
+1 to a way to control Google Play Music

The only other thing I wish could happen would be support for Google's Messenger app. I realize the S2 supports Samsung's "Messages" app, but that app doesn't have the great functionality that Messenger has.

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

Thank you! I for one was bummed that I couldn't do this - now I can! Now, if they would only support Google Messenger, I'd be ecstatic!

How about an app that changes watch faces based on location or wifi

when I'm at the gym switch to my workout watch face

when I'm at home some thing more classy
[Samsung Gear S2] Sheikboy:
Travel

A boarding pass app would be amazing: something that would transfer .pkpass and .epass files to the watch to display when boarding. That way, instead of waiting for each airline to support it (which is so far only KLM and Iberia), every airline that already supports Apple Passbook can now work with the watch very easily.
[Samsung Gear S2] eelektro:
for now I wish for and option to answer on calls, so that phone speaker automatically turns ON and I can speak thru watch Mic .. you can call it CAR MODE :)

I think it would not be that hard to make that option..
