One of the best Smartwatch features is the ten-thousands of Apps which are available in the Android and Apple stores. However, you probably don’t have time to scroll through hours and pages of different Apps, so here are our recommendations of the top 10 Smartwatch Apps which are available for download right now.
1. Flopsy-Droid
If you were the one of the many who were infuriated by playing endless unsuccessful hours of the game ‘Flappy Bird’ then be warned. The first game to be released for the Android Smartwatch is called yep, ’Flopsy-Droid’.
The principles are pretty much the same as its predecessor ‘Flappy Bird’ – you play as a little droid trying to avoid bumping into pipes and miscellaneous flying objects. You just have to hope no one has thrown their new smartwatch to the ground in infuriation yet.
2. Duolingo
34 hours of Duolingo are equal to 1 semester of university language classes. Free and effective education for all. pic.twitter.com/EkEJAUvh8s
