The Apple Watch and Apps

This past Monday, Apple had their Spring Forward Event in which they announce the new products that consumers can expect to find on the shelves later in the year. This year, Apple announced a new 12-inch Macbook with retina display and the much anticipated Apple Watch. The Apple watch is already available for preorder and will be sold for $349-$17,000 depending on the model. However, the Apple Watch Edition costs upwards of 10,000 dollars and is only for the high spenders so most purchasers will be spending anywhere from $349-$399 for the Apple Watch Sport or $549-$599 for the Apple Watch.

If you happen to be someone who is considering purchasing the Apple Watch then I hope this post will help keep you informed on what you can expect from it in terms of software and app compatibility. Not every app will be able to be ran on the Apple Watch so don't expect to play Clash of Clans or Candy Crush on your wrist.

Apple released the WatchKit to developers back in November so there are  apps available upon release. In addition to being able to use some of Apple stock apps like Mail, Phone, and Messages and keep track of their fitness levels , users will be able to browse Instagram or Twitter, request a ride via Uber, or even use their phone as a key to a hotel. With that said, that appears to be some of the only thing you would be able to do... 

I have high hopes for the Apple Watch but currently the lack of apps on the market for it is worrisome to me. But this is Apple we're talking about. Developers will undoubtedly arrive and make some very, very cool apps.
