Appendix: The Apps
     
Apple Apps
     
    This book has covered all the apps already on the phone, but for a quick overview, here they are again.
     
Messages - This is where you will send and receive text messages (and also send and receive animated emojis).
Phone - This is, obviously, where you make and receive calls, but it should be noted that when you are using the phone on your wrist, you can also transfer that call to your iPhone, so if you step into a place where speakerphone is frowned upon, you don't have to hang up and call back.
Mail - You can read your mail message, but it's not for replying--it's more for managing mail (i.e., deleting, reading, flagging, and moving).
Calendar - this app lets you quickly browse through your calendar and also accept and decline invitations.
Activity -- this app is a bit of motivational workout app--it gives you a summary of how much you are standing, exercising, moving...in short it makes you feel guilty about how lazy you are.
Workout -- when you are working out, you tell your watch what you are doing (running, walking, cycling) and then it shows you how far you've gone, and how fast you are going.
Maps -- a turn-by-turn map...with a twist--when it's time for you to turn, it taps you on the wrist.
Passbook - This is essentially a micro version of Passbook for the iPhone, but instead of holding your phone to the scanner, you hold your wrist.
Siri - Siri is one of the most important apps on the Apple Watch because with no keyboard, you need it to find things quickly; to use it, just lift your wrist and say "Hey Siri"--no buttons need to be pressed to bring up Siri.
Music- The music app is what you'd expect...unless you expect to plug in headsets; there's no audio input on the watch so you have to use Bluetooth headphones to listen.
Camera Remote - The watch has no built in camera; what it has in its place is a viewfinder, so if you want to take a selfie with your phone then you can use the watch to take the photo.
Remote - If you have an Apple TV, this app lets you control it from your wrist; you can also use it to control your Mac or PC's iTunes library.
Weather - Lets you see a visual summary of weather where you are or anywhere else in the world.
Stocks - With this app you can see stock performance for up to six months.
Photos - This is where you will view all your favorite photos.
Alarm / Stopwatch / Timer - These are three relatively simple apps that do exactly what you'd expect them to do.
World Clock - while the watch’s time face screen is the main feature, it does have a second app for tracking time around the world.
Settings - This is where you can turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.
     
Non-Apple Apps
     
    Chances are you’ve heard about all the popular apps for the Apple Watch already. I’m talking about Twitter, Instagram, etc. So below, I’m putting some of my favorite apps that you might not have heard of.
     
    SwipeSpeare
    SwipeSpeare puts Shakespeare’s words into modern English with a swipe; when you launch the app, you pick your play and then you are asked if you want to read it in modern English or the original language. Any time you want to see what the passage says in the other translation, you just swipe your finger across the passage. It includes a free copy of Romeo and Juliet too! The watch app syncs your notes, bookmarks, and highlights.
     
    SwipeBible
    There aren’t a lot of Bible apps for the watch yet. You probably know about all the popular ones, but one you might not have heard of is SwipeBible; it’s from the makers of SwipeSpeare and it’s entirely free. It lets you open up to nine Bible translations at the same time and toggle between the translations by swiping over the verse. The companion app is much like SwipeSpeare and lets you manage notes, bookmarks, and highlights.
     
    Do Button
    Always forgetting to do things like turning off the lights? Try this app, which helps keep your life a little more
