What's up guys, Stephen Cults of Mac here and at the time of filming this video I am
0:04
actually getting ready to travel to Florida for 2 weeks for my holidays or for you guys
0:07
in America vacation but whilst I'm away I didn't want the channel to go quiet
0:12
So I got in touch with my good friend Nikias at Apple Watch World to see if he'd like to take the reins of a video whilst I'm away
0:18
Thankfully he said yes and as his channel focuses around the Apple Watch mainly, I thought
0:22
it would be a good idea to take a look at his picks for the best Apple Watch apps that he's come across so far this year
0:28
So let's throw it over to Nikias and get started. Thank you very much Cults of Mac for inviting me over to the channel
0:35
I hope you have an amazing time in Florida. So anyways today we are taking a look at the best apps that you can find for your Apple Watch
0:42
Alright guys so I think what we can all agree on is that our favorite Apple Watch app is
0:46
the Activities app from Apple. So the first app that I'm going to show you is also a ring but it's not for activity
0:52
It's to remind you to stay hydrated so every once in a while your Apple Watch will remind
0:55
you to drink. So if you actually drink water you go to the bottom and you tell the app how much you drank
1:00
and that will add it to the actual ring. Next up is Dark Sky
1:03
Now Dark Sky is my favorite weather Apple Watch app ever because, I mean my favorite
1:09
thing about this app is simply notifications. Let's say for example when it's about to rain, your Apple Watch will remind you, hey you
1:15
should probably bring an umbrella because it's about to rain. The app also notifies you for daily reports and if we swipe to the right of course we
1:21
can see our weekly view of our weather just like Apple's weather app
1:25
Next up is an app that hopefully you guys all should have. It's Shazam and of course, hold on let me put a song for example on my home watch
1:33
There we go now it's listening and there you go Shazam lets you know the name of the song
1:38
the artist and you can actually press play to hear a small preview of the actual song
1:42
With the Apple Watch we love tracking things for example we love tracking our health, we
1:46
love tracking our sleep. By the way yes we will check out an app to track our sleep later on this video
1:51
So anyways this app lets you track your mood so your Apple Watch will ask you how are you
1:54
feeling and you can say good for example because of course I'm in the Cult of Mac channel
1:59
so I'm happy, I'm effective, I am feeling social and then once you're actually done
2:04
tracking you simply press done and there you go thanks for logging your mood
2:09
So then at the end of the month with your iPhone you can see all of your moods how they've been
2:14
Talking about sleep tracking, sleep tracking for the Apple Watch has been provided by Autosleep
2:18
So Autosleep lets you know on how much you've slept. The iPhone app is much more detailed but of course with the Apple Watch app you can
2:24
simply check out how much you slept and the average how much you're sleeping
2:28
So there's a bunch of sleep tracking apps in the App Store but I find Autosleep to be the best
2:32
And then lastly what is an app video without a game? So Dare the Monkey is my favorite Apple Watch game
2:37
I don't really play a lot of Apple Watch games but this is one that is just really simple
2:41
to play. It runs really well on the Apple Watch and I find it kind of fun
2:45
It's just kind of like Mario Kart, I mean Super Mario Run
2:50
It's honestly the only thing that I can compare it to. It's a lot of fun, it's a free game as well so definitely check it out
2:55
You will have a lot of fun with it. And concluding the video we've got Foursquare. Now if you're traveling you always want to look for food or for things for fun for example
3:04
Now let's say you're hungry for food for example. Let's go ahead and tap that and there you go
3:07
You can check out the best restaurants near your zone which can be really useful especially
3:11
when you're traveling as I said. So yeah you can search places, you can bookmark stuff, you can search for food, coffee, nightlife, fun
3:18
So when I'm traveling I love looking for food and for just simply fun places to go
3:22
So that's pretty much it for all the apps. Just to let you guys know that they will all be linked down below
3:26
Alright guys so that's pretty much it for this video. If you guys enjoyed this video make sure to give Cult of Mac a big thumbs up
