It’s been busy around the factory of late. So busy, that a couple of our popular little apps that were updated over the Christmas holiday are just now being released!
Clicker
Folks who love counting will be happy to know that Clicker has some useful new features on watchOS:
- Added support for the Digital Crown – just turn it to adjust the counter. If needed, this feature can also be disabled in settings (tap the gear icon).
- There is now separate haptic feedback when you reach a goal: a different sound and vibration are played. This is helpful for activities where you count with your eyes closed or without looking at your wrist.
- Added a new setting to disable haptic feedback. No sounds or vibrations will be played as you adjust the count.
- The complication can now display longer numbers: commas are removed when space is tight.
You can get the app for FREE on the App Store.
Now Playing Plus
We also did a small, but important, update for Now Playing Plus. We fixed an issue where tapping on the watch face complication to see what’s playing would often show a blank screen instead of the player controls.
Apple’s built-in watch complications don’t work in the circular or corner positions: Now Playing Plus fixes that. If you’re like me and need to get at the controls quickly and reliably without fumbling around with screen navigation, it’s a great addition to your Apple Watch.
I use Now Playing Plus while riding my bike: a tap in the corner of my watch face, and then play/pause or adjust volume with the crown, all while keeping my eyes on the road! You can get it for FREE on the App Store.
(If you have already downloaded the app, you may need to download it again from the watchOS App Store. We wish Apple would fix this.)
