Does anyone know how to install apps on gear fit? I thought It would have a app store like the gear 1 but I can see it in gear fot manager

There is now a Gear Fit forum. In the future, please post here.
I did know in advance there would be few if any apps.
Hopefully a few fitness apps will arrive in time.
Guys, it would be nice if we have a continual app that tells when apps work for the gear fit. When posting, please list what the app does and give it a category (fitness, news, etc.)
My list thus far:
Strava- fitness app. It starts and stops a run and shows your time, but the HR monitor does not work. Also note it will not display vertical.
Sleep Genius- first version failed to do anything, but they updated. I tried to use it last night, but by the time I woke up, the app stopped tracking sleep.

How the heck do you even install apps on it?

it's not an android OS ... so you cannot actually install apps.

For strava just install the app on your phone, you should then see an extra icon on the fit called app connect with an option to turn strava on in there
There are a few news feeds that are out for the fit now. I just tried Appy Geek for fit and News Republic for gear fit. You have to download two apps for both..... The fit app and the actually program. Haven't spent to much time with them though.

What about Runkeeper? Has anyone tried that?

Wow, I didn't know this was possible. Is the SDK private or can anyone make these apps?
Installed Appy Geek Gear fit, works well.
Few people commented they like vertical, me I can not stand vertical.
These apps open the App on your device then uploads the content to the Gear Fit.

How is it even possible to read it in the horizontal mode?
@waxedstrong - This could go in Themes and Apps as well. Maybe PM a mod?
News Republic & Appy Geek on Samsung Gear 2 & Gea…: http://youtu.be/knI3N4cIEVA
Here is a video of News apps for Fit and G2.
And i think it would be usefull if you could control you smartphone camera with Fit. For example when you set Timer to take picture for yourself or a group of people when there is noone who can do it for you. You could just tap your fit to take for example 5 pictures.
This would be popular among "selfists"

app connect
Maybe I am missing something, but I can't find the app connect on my gear fit. Does it have to be activated or turned on somewhere?
Just download for example NewsRepublic and Newrepublic for Fit and it will show up on your fit.

There is a calender app that just popped up in the play store. Works decent if you are needing a quick calendar and want to too look at events. It does look like you can only use it in horizontal mode which makes sense bases on the layout.
Check out "Gear Fit Calendar"

Golf NAVI+ for GearFit
Golf NAVI+ for GearFit on the google play store
looks good and uses GPS to track how far you are from the hole
Just write "SAMSUNG_CUP_ENABLED" in the play store and it should give you list of all supported apps.
On my previous mobile - a Galaxy SIII - when in Contacts, if you dragged a contact to the left it opened Messaging so you could send a text and if you dragged the contact to the right it dialed the default contact number.
I thought this was a Google feature but it is missing from my Z2. Have Sony removed it or was it a Samsung add-on?

It's a Samsung add-on.
Ok, thanks for that. I don't suppose anyone knows of a replacement app that does that?

Exdialer, pixelphone
Thanks Bronek, I'll give them a go.

In my opinion exdialer is better.

Haha, I also missed that Samsung function. I think most new owners of Z2 here came from Samsung so we are still getting used to a different Android design. I also missed the Share Contact Information where it automatically copies the contact details to SMS format to send contacts. Now, I need to copy paste the mobile number to the SMS which is 4 steps more.
Yes, it's not until they're gone you realise the number of little things you took for granted

These little things are the ones Google should improve on; fast and efficient way of doing things in a smartphone. Even iphone users are still stuck with copy paste which I used to joke them about. Too bad Sony didn't have that function so I'm in the same boat as iphone users already.
I did not miss the boalted ugly touchwiz at all. How heavy and boalted touchwiz is samsung had to abandon the kit Kat update for the international version of S3 as it was failed to boot with heavy touchwiz interface

I never used Touchwiz. I went straight to Apex. I'm now using Nova on my Z2.

Touchwiz made me want to tear my eyes out, this feature is the only one of Samsung's gimmicks I used. Loosing it is worth it for a sexy phone like the Z2.

Hello,
How can I reset a default app action on my G Watch?
I have Keep and Evernote for making notes, and the first time I made a note he asked me wich one I wanted to use. But I can't find a way to reset this preference again..

You have to change it on the phone in the wear app. If you can't change it there reinstall Evernote, then it should ask again

Does anyone know if we`ll be able to reply to emails with the build in Flesky keyboard using CloudMagic?
Not unless Cloud magic had their own app on the Gear S, I think?
