The very best Apple Watch apps

There are a lot of great apps for your Apple Watch, and we are going to provide you with a list of a few more. Hopefully, you will find these apps interesting, and maybe you will even find a new favorite app! 

The Apple Watch is like a tiny phone you can keep around your wrist. You can answer messages, call, look at photos, read the NFL Week 1 odds, and listen to music. Take a look at these amazing apps that will make your Apple Watch experience even better.

Scribd – Audiobooks & eBooks

Scribd’s library is huge, with over 1 million releases, you can enjoy audiobooks on Apple Watch as well as on iPhone or iPad. Assuming you have an Apple Watch 3 or newer, the app works via mobile or Wi-Fi and streams directly to your watch, without you having to have your phone nearby.

Unlimited access to the service does not necessarily mean access to an unlimited number of books each month. If Scribd finds that you’re too greedy a reader or listener, you may have to wait until the next billing cycle to read more on-demand releases. Apps like this might help you learn faster and if you want to challenge yourself, maybe learn a new language. 

Ping Pong – Retro Arcade

We love good retro games, and what is more retro than one of the first computer games that were created? The original from Atari came in 1972 as a full-format arcade game, and now it fits on your little Apple Watch.

Ping Pong, as it is called here, works well on the Apple Watch, as it only requires one control function. Here it is in the crown of the watch. Once you have selected your level and the preferred level of difficulty, you only need to move the racket up or down to hit the ball. Just like in the original version, it seems very simple, but it gets harder as time goes on.

Star Duster – Old School Gaming

Readers in a certain age group will be filled with retrograde over Star Duster. This is a loving tribute to the long-gone handheld LDC devices such as Game & Watch, and here the looks, sounds, and gaming experiences of that age are recreated beautifully.

In case you weren’t there in the 1980s, we can explain a bit: with the limited hardware of the time, developers had to think incredibly creatively in terms of gaming experience. After all, the hardware could not do much beyond simple animation and sound. The only color on the screen was the one printed on the stickers that surrounded it.
