Spotify: Music and Podcasts
Free, Google Play
Spotify
When Google first announced Wear OS 3, Spotify was among the first apps being rebuilt for the new platform. Like the Samsung Tizen version, it still gets you offline playlist support (with a Premium subscription), the ability to control where the music is streamed from and ‘like’ songs by tapping that heart icon. There’s a dedicated screen to download playlists and there’s also Tile support, which means you can add a dedicated screen to quickly access and start playing something.
YouTube Music
Subscription required, Google Play
YouTube Music
If you don’t fancy Spotify, there’s you can opt for YouTube Music as your go-to music streaming service. Like Spotify, you’ll need to have a YouTube premium subscription to make use of the app, which lets you download music when offline. YouTube has also added a smart download feature, which will download 50-500 songs over Wi-Fi when your watch is on charge.

You can also stick lists into folders to make sure you’re dealing with the important stuff that needs to get done first.
Strava
Free, Google Play
Strava
This is another app that’s been rebuilt for Wear OS 3. Strava doesn’t need any huge explanation. It’s a place to track your workouts if you don’t think Samsung’s workout app doesn’t do a good enough job of it. You can track runs, rides, walks, hikes and even E-bike rides with the ability to turn on audio cues and enable/disable auto pause modes for running and cycling. It’s simple to use and pushes tracked sessions to the main Strava app ready to soak up all of that Kudos.
Calm

Calm
The app for helping you sleep and giving you somewhere to get that meditation fix, Calm offers a a range of classes to help you destress or find some sounds to help you quickly snooze off at night.

Walk with Map My Walk
Free: Google Play
Best Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 apps: New Wear OS 3 apps to download
Just because the Galaxy Watch 4 can track runs, swims, HIIT workouts and a whole lot more doesn’t mean it can be handy if you like to slow things down and monitor your walk time. The Walk with Map My Walk app offers training plans and workout plans and offers real-time updates as you get moving. It’s a strong alternative to Samsung’s own tracking apps if they don’t quite do it for you.
Walkie-Talkie
Free, Google Play
Walkie-Talkie
Yes, Apple already did this one too, and now if you’ve got a Galaxy Watch 4-owning friend, you can use the Samsung smartwatch as a way to have instant chats via the onboard microphone.

It can make use of Samsung’s PPG heart rate monitor to track heart rate and lets you view details like coordinates and elevation data. The third party Tile support also means you can swipe to see a handful of recommended routes to check out near to your current location.
Citymapper: All Your Transport
Free: Google Play
Best Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 apps: New Wear OS 3 apps to download
We are probably not alone in saying that Citymapper is one of our favourite apps to get around and the app for Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 4 is well built for the Wear OS 3-running smartwatch. Once you’ve assigned a city in the phone app, you can choose to let it get you home or work, giving you step-by-step instructions on trains, buses and other modes of transports to catch to get you where you need to go. Good travel smartwatch apps need to be easy to use and this is definitely one of them.

TIME TO GET MOVING

You can also connect with different clubs, friends, and followers to share your progress.
REMOTE CONTROL
Wrist Camera

Galaxy smartwatches may not have a camera onboard —thankfully — but using it as a remote to control your phone’s camera is a great idea. With this app, you can set up your phone to take a group shot or a selfie from a distance and then take the photo using your watch. You can set a timer, view a preview from the phone camera, control flash, and more, using nothing more than your watch.
SMALL-SCREEN GAMES
Monster Vampire
Free at Galaxy Store
Generally, playing games on your watch isn’t much fun due to the lack of screen real estate. However, with Monster Vampire, you get to play a game without the need to access the screen continually. There’s a fun story that incorporates your physical activity to progress through the game. It’s a win-win, an entertaining game, and some exercise.
HAIL A RIDE
Uber
Free at Galaxy Store
Installing the Uber app on your Galaxy Watch will allow it to sync up with the app on your phone. You can call a ride to get you to your next destination and keep you up to date on the car’s location. When it’s getting close, the app will show you on your watch and keep your phone in your pocket.
SMARTWATCH SMART HOME

Controlling your home from your wrist seems like the perfect mix of future tech. If you are a SmartThings user, you can install the companion app onto your Galaxy Watch and adjust lights, plugs, thermostats, and more all from your wrist.

CUSHION CORRECTION
Find My Phone

Losing your phone in the couch cushion, in the car, in the fridge — it was a long day — or any other number of places can be frustrating. Thankfully if you have the Find My Phone app on your Galaxy watch, you can use it to ring your phone. So long as you have a vague idea of where it may be and can get into the Bluetooth range, your watch can reunite you and your phone.
WORLD WIDE WATCH
Samsung Browser
Free at Galaxy Store
Having a full web browser on your wrist may not seem like the most practical thing, it can have some good use.

GETTING WHERE YOU WANT
HERE WeGo

Google Maps isn’t available on the Galaxy watches, but HERE WeGo is an excellent alternative. With the ability to download maps directly to your wrist, you can navigate routes for walking, driving, riding, and more without having your phone at all. The added safety of walking around and keeping your phone put away is reason enough to download this app.
Apps make your watch work for you
