The Apple Watch is onto its third generation now, and the aptly-named Apple Watch 3 is proving pretty popular - so that's why you're probably here checking out the new apps.In fact, it's one of the best smartwatch options out there, and now we're at the third generation it's becoming a particularly accomplished smart option for your wrist.The number one question we hear from new Apple Watch owners is, "what apps should I download first" To make answering that query easier, we devised a thorough list of the best Apple Watch apps.
With the right choices, your new digital timepiece will become so much more.Before you get into that though, remember to head into the Apple Watch main app on your iPhone - that's where you'll see a list of the apps already installed on your phone that can also be transferred to your Watch.
If you see any you like the look of here, you'll need to download them to your iPhone first.Make sure you tag the apps you want on your watch - and disable the ones you don't, as that will take up valuable space you can use to add music onto - especially great if you have the Apple Watch 3 LTE version, and an Apple Music subscription.See our video review of the Apple Watch Series 3 belowNew this week: FiLMiC ProFiLMiC Pro$14.99/£14.99/AU$22.99 plus in-app purchasesHere’s an odd one: FiLMiC Pro has a distinctly average App Store rating of 2.3 out of 5 at time of writing, and yet the developers’ shelves are groaning under the weight of the app’s many awards from reputable websites and publications who say that for video, it’s the best thing since bread came sliced.
What’s going onThe short answer is that when you have hardly any reviews, one or two disgruntled users can send your rating down the drain.
That’s clearly what’s happening here.Negatives first.
FiLMiC Pro costs more money than many apps, and it can kill your phone battery in prolonged use.
But it’s an incredibly powerful iOS camera app used by film-makers, journalists and hobbyists alike.
Pair it with a decent editor and your iPhone is a pro-level film studio.The Watch app is really just a remote for the main event.
You can record, pause and resume your recording and see what the phone camera’s pointing at, and you can play back what you’ve just recorded.
It’s not really different from Apple’s own camera Watch app.
But the app it connects to is a powerhouse: people complaining about the price tag should really be marveling that it’s possible to get something so good for so little money.1e8a8781e912f2d97ac4c6a6c5295d29.jpg#
