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.

@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"

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"

Just write "SAMSUNG_CUP_ENABLED" in the play store and it should give you list of all supported apps.

Ok. I'm a salesman at a car dealership and I'd like an app to log my customers.
This is simple enough, but what I need to find is an app that I can take a number down in my phone along with a name, and a short bit of text. And then send it to my tfp.
Any ideas?

Why not save the contacts on your phone to a gmail account that could access from your tfp? All of my phone contacts appear on both.

It seems like it would be a pain in the ass to use excel. Maybe not though. I'll have to try it as well. I am a car salesman as well. I'd like an app to track previous months and currents month statistics. I know iOS had one but I cannot find one for Android. Anyone know of one.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Try searching the Market for 'crm' there are decent sales tracking apps that might work.
Excel sounds like a pain, the gmail idea could work it just gets hard to keep track of ( I did it on my phone for awhile), but evernote sounds like a good one, i'll try it out.
Excel would work for the statistics I would imagine.

When you add customers make sure you add them to a separate group so that they don't show up alongside your "normal" contacts.

I just can't understand why Samsung had to force S-Planner down our throats... Is it for Air View?
Nonetheless, I'm thankful Google released this. Maybe they should also release the default messenger (SMS) app too.

Theres more to it than air-view. At least for me using exchange sync...
S-Planner at least allows you to reply/forward from the Calendar. Google still has not figured it out. This is essential for me and I suspect a lot of others using exchange sync in corporate environments.
I also happen to like the pinch to zoom being used for shifting from day/week/month view on S-Planner while I miss the pinch to zoom on Google's version :/ - Can't have both I guess.
Hi, I'm not really sure what to do about this screen. I started getting a notification that seems to come from the official app (I long tapped, and checked the notification info), but this "update" apparently needs to be side loaded onto the system instead of installed through the Play Store. Has anyone else gotten this update prompt? I'm not sure what to do here.

Facebook pushes Android update to enable silent updates (bypassing the Play Store)
Facebook appears to be doing an end run around the Google by pushing an update to the social network’s open app to Android users today… and the update isn’t coming from the Google Play Store. The Facebook app on your phone downloads the update automatically and then beeps or vibrates incessantly until you install it (or uninstall the app altogether).
So what does the new version of Facebook for Android do?
According to Facebook it lets you change your profile picture using the mobile app, allows you to hide stories and report spam, and start group messages more quickly.
But there’s one other thing the new app does: It allows itself to download future updates without alerting you.
If you look at the permissions required by the app, there’s a new one that says “download files without notification.”
This effectively lets the Facebook app for Android automatically update itself without going through the Google Play Store. It’s not clear exactly why Facebook is taking this step. But once you’re prompted to download the new version of the mobile app the only alternatives appear to be to put up with annoying notifications or remove the Facebook app from your Android device.

I saw an XDA article talking about the app greenify and how great it was. It essentially hibernates apps so they're not running in the background and was made to copy what the iphone does. I use it but can't tell if it actually helps and don't know of any other app like it.
My question is does anyone use this app? Or another one like it?
If you use it, do you see significant results?
I just wanted to see other peoples' experiences.
Thanks

Yeah, this app will prevent other apps from waking up your phone. So if you don't care about notifications for that app then you can "greenify" it, so that it will not be able to perform automatic tasks in the background.
It does save some noticeable battery life.
I use it too. It's been great for keeping Google Maps' battery suckage down, though the newest update to Maps is supposed to help with that. (I personally refuse to update it, so I'm still on the last version.) It also keeps other apps that may be constantly working in the background from waking up your phone.
I have Google Maps, Pulse, Walgreens, Amazon Appstore, DeskSMS, Google+, and Words With Friends hibernated in mine.

long story short it's generally considered on xda to be the best battery saving apk, even if you just use it for maps and Facebook.

I ran Greenify for awhile but didn't understand it and couldn't tell if it helped at all. These posts give me a better idea of it function. I'll load it again and set it up better and get back here if I get a better idea of its benefits. Thanks for posting.
I like it alot. I don't need notifications for emails constantly so I stopped that. Battery life is improved from greenifying other things like maps and Facebook as well.

Well if you don't want the app to poll for emails all the time you can just turn off sync for the email apps.
