a list of apps that work with the Gear S2; please add to it here

"Hangouts (installing the Android wear app from the play store allows you to reply to Hangout messages when using as SMS)"
does that mean you can only reply to SMS or all hangouts messages as long as hangouts is your default SMS app?

Chomps sms works u can reply but you can't see any pictures

I know someone mentioned EasilyDo but they now have a gear app and they offer premium service for free for 180 days.

So, did you just have to install android wear to be able to reply to hangouts messages from the watch? Is that all? Or did you have to do something else after installation?

I haven't tried it. I'm just reporting what others say at the top of this list. Maybe if folks want details about specific apps, other threads might work better. (Just a thought.)

I just installed Android Wear, opened it once and I haven't touched it since. Hangouts works just fine

Navigate into apps; hold down for a few seconds and hit the - (minus) sign to remove

 

[Amir47]

Installed the app and that's it.
Launching the app itself does nothing.
Ironic that a Tizen watch would need a Android Wear app to gain features.

Please note that the HERE Maps turn by turn directions do not appear to work independent of your actual smartphone. This is disappointing if you want to fly solo with just your watch.

No, Tizen (the OS on the Gear S2) does not have a web browser.

I can't belive it.
I recieve facebook messenger notifications and I'm able to reply on them, but I can't read them on the Gear s2?!?!?! This means I can't read what the messeges before I'm ansvering them unless I open the messeges on the phone...
Any solution for this?

 

[PRISBERG]

I can reply facebook messeges, but I can't read them on my gear s2. Someone with the same problem? Fix for this?

Hi all
My gear s2 classic is showing yellow dot on clock and when I click on that dot it says "update to gear classic plus". What is classic plus and from where I can download it?

I have a classic and have never heard of this. If you can take a screenshot (simultaneously press the Home key and swiping from the left of the screen to the right) showing this message, post it in a new thread on the forum and you'll get a lot of interest.
