Guys, it would be nice if we have a continual app that tells when apps work for the gear fit. When posting, please list what the app does and give it a category (fitness, news, etc.)
My list thus far:
Strava- fitness app. It starts and stops a run and shows your time, but the HR monitor does not work. Also note it will not display vertical.
Sleep Genius- first version failed to do anything, but they updated. I tried to use it last night, but by the time I woke up, the app stopped tracking sleep.

How the heck do you even install apps on it?

it's not an android OS ... so you cannot actually install apps.

For strava just install the app on your phone, you should then see an extra icon on the fit called app connect with an option to turn strava on in there
There are a few news feeds that are out for the fit now. I just tried Appy Geek for fit and News Republic for gear fit. You have to download two apps for both..... The fit app and the actually program. Haven't spent to much time with them though.

Wow, I didn't know this was possible. Is the SDK private or can anyone make these apps?
Installed Appy Geek Gear fit, works well.
Few people commented they like vertical, me I can not stand vertical.
These apps open the App on your device then uploads the content to the Gear Fit.

How is it even possible to read it in the horizontal mode?
@waxedstrong - This could go in Themes and Apps as well. Maybe PM a mod?
News Republic & Appy Geek on Samsung Gear 2 & Gea…: http://youtu.be/knI3N4cIEVA
Here is a video of News apps for Fit and G2.
And i think it would be usefull if you could control you smartphone camera with Fit. For example when you set Timer to take picture for yourself or a group of people when there is noone who can do it for you. You could just tap your fit to take for example 5 pictures.
This would be popular among "selfists"

app connect
Maybe I am missing something, but I can't find the app connect on my gear fit. Does it have to be activated or turned on somewhere?
Just download for example NewsRepublic and Newrepublic for Fit and it will show up on your fit.

There is a calender app that just popped up in the play store. Works decent if you are needing a quick calendar and want to too look at events. It does look like you can only use it in horizontal mode which makes sense bases on the layout.
Check out "Gear Fit Calendar"

Golf NAVI+ for GearFit on the google play store
looks good and uses GPS to track how far you are from the hole
Just write "SAMSUNG_CUP_ENABLED" in the play store and it should give you list of all supported apps.

I am not sure about other fonts, but Gear Fit use the same language what your connected phone. So we can think that support for many languages have done correctly.
To be sure (if no-one can help here) go to store and test it before you buy it.
Hi xda, i think i understood that gear 1 and 2 were android and became tizen, and they had google map, can we install google map on galaxy gear s ?

Hi.
I try to use google maps with no success yet.
I use null rom, and share location with GearLocationBridge (and muck location is enabled)
Google maps launch but i cannot locate myself on the map.

@Baltyre can you share the app ? (if you are on tizen now)
@cipherswitch do you have google map for tizen ? ^^
Any help please; Google map's in Gear S;
Only on Google sanctioned device. Tizen is a competitor to Google's Android. You will never see Gmap on such device unless you just want to use the browser version.
You can use HERE off of the gear store instead

How do you have Null on the Gear s tizen?
I don't understand your question. How do I have null? Do you mean HERE maps? Download it on you're phone and watch from samsung stores
Sent from my SM-N915V using XDA Free mobile app
GearLocationBridge requires Android. Gear S is Tizen.
if you looking for a gps maps on gear s try taking a look at Gear Navigator standalone its just like google maps and it works like a charm
