About Wearable Widgets

Widgets you can wear. Put virtually any homescreen widget from your phone onto your smartwatch or Google Glass™. Supports Android Wear, Samsung Gear (except Fit/2), and Sony SmartWatch (all models).

NOTE: You MUST have one of these devices (Glass or a supported smartwatch) to use this app! See below for device-specific instructions; lots more info is available at http://wearablewidgets.com.

If you have any difficulties, please email us, or stop by our community on Google+: http://goo.gl/dbZ1d0. Please do not just leave a complaint as a comment here: this is an app store, not a support forum.

Wearable Widgets creates a bridge from your phone to your wearable device for the thousands of widgets available on Android. You don't need to wait for developers to support smartwatches or Glass; get your apps on your wearable now, in a format that the developer has already designed for a small screen.

Now, please adjust your expectations…

• This free app supports unlimited usage of one widget at a time. Multiple widget support for smartwatches is available as a small, one-time in-app purchase: please confirm that your favorite widgets are compatible with your watch before buying.

• Tapping and swiping on widgets does work, but keep in mind that the widget is still running on your phone, not your watch. So tap actions on a widget are also going to happen on your phone - not your watch!

• Related: you’ll find that taps and swipes on your wearable device aren't quite as nifty as when you interact directly with your phone; there’s some unavoidable lag in the connection between devices.

• Some widgets lend themselves better than others to the screen size on wearable devices. Please use common sense.

• There are also some known compatibility issues with a few specific widgets, including Wink, Feedly, and some clocks. If you're having trouble with one, you can find more info at http://wearablewidgets.com/widgets.html

Using with Android Wear

With your watch paired to your phone, just install and run this app, and select a widget or two. Then just launch WW from the app list on the watch. (Or if you prefer, you can say to your watch, "Ok Google, start widgets!")

You can also set Wearable Widgets as your watch face, giving you instant access to any widget you've chosen.

Using with Tizen Gear

First, install and run this app on your phone to configure your widgets. Then open the Samsung Gear app, and in the Gear Apps store, search for “Wearable Widgets” to install the watch component. It's available both as a clock face and as an interactive app.

Please note that using older Tizen watches (Gear S and earlier) with non-Samsung phones is not supported.

Also, this app will only generate the Gear series' native "widgets" on the Gear S3. Older Gear watches use a different technology for this, and so are not supported in this way.

Using with Sony SmartWatch 1 and 2

You’ll need Sony's Smart Connect app (http://goo.gl/4JDnN) installed and configured on your phone. Then just run Wearable Widgets, and select a widget from the list that pops up. To see it on your wrist, simply tap our “W” icon on the watch's home screen.

Using with Google Glass

To show a widget on Glass, you’ll need this app installed on your phone, plus a small second app on Glass. You can find the Glassware download (plus more instructions) at our website, http://widgets.glass. Run the phone app to set up your widget, then just say, "OK Glass… Show widgets".

Unfortunately, multiple widgets are not supported on Glass; see http://wearablewidgets.com/glass#multiple for info.

Very useful! A little harder on both batteries, but tolerably. Using for (your) full moon widget, WOL, and some otherwise impossible remote phone controls. Shame about the multiple-widget bug, and I wish I could alter the update interval for those too, but this app is a keeper.

I finally got some widgets on my watch. When I get widget on the phone in wearable widget app they are interactive. But most are not. Most are simply a screen shot of the phone widget. What good is this app if mostly just gives a picture of a widget. For example the gmail widget scrolls in the wearable widget phone app, but not workable on the watch. On the watch I just see a picture of what is a widget, not workable. Another example the callendar doesn't update. The weekly calendar scrolls on the phone WW app, but not the watch. Just a picture of the app on the watch. Now the widget on the watch is just blank black screen. No phone widget. I still say it is useless.

It does not work when the phone is asleep. I wanted to use it for Wake On LAN apps. If the phone screen is at least lit up, it will work. If the phone is asleep, and I tap the app on the watch, I can hear the phone doing the tap sound, but nothing happens. I have tried multiple wol apps, but nothing works, they all do the same thing. I cannot tell if it is the app on the phone, or the app on the watch, or an Android issue altogether.

Fantastic and absolutely essential app for non-Android wearables (like my Gear S3). I use it for Gmail and National Rail widgets. One glitch (hence 4 stars) is that when having multiple 'Wearable Widgets', they often revert to the same app / widget (e.g. 2x Gmail widgets), therefore I have to touch below one of the duplicate widgets and scroll (once again) to the correct app / widget (e.g National Rail). Hopefully this can be fixed.

Don't make the mistake of paying for the full version like I did. You're supposed to be able to add multiple widgets, but when you try to add a second one, you don't get a choice of which one you want to add, it just keeps adding the first one over and over again. $1.99 later, I can add multiple widgets to my phone that I can't do anything with. And no option for a refund because it was an in app purchase. Rediculous!

Sadly this can only be set up as a watch face on your Samsung gear. I would prefer it to be configured as a standard widget on the watch. Otherwise the app is a great idea.

I use this app mainly for a weather satellite widget. In that use case scenario, it's pretty good - it would be pretty awesome to be able to put the time over a particular widget though.

I got this app to use with Phone Profiles Plus to be able to change ring profiles from my Gear S3, works fine for the first few hours then it stops updating the Widget and the Widget on the watch because useless as I can't change profiles. To get it to work again I need to delete the Widget of my watch and add it back on my watch again and then it works for a few hours again, I would of bought the paid version of it work properly.

I use this with the Xdrip app and the Gear S2 watch. I love it. It's a great concept and great implementation. I'm looking forward to the multiple widgets on a single watch face.

The lack of a Samsung SmartThings widget on a Samsung watch being run by a Samsung phone is beyond irritating. But this app bridges the gap in a perfectly acceptable manner. I'd have paid more for the upgrade for sure!

X70%
by X####:

Good concept, but HATE that it takes over my watch face and is not a widget in the app itself. For that reason, I am uninstalling. If, however, thinga change and I can add widgets from this app like I would normally add widgets to my Sgear, I'll be back.

Wanted to have an app which would allow me to control my smart TV volume/channel and my tp link smart plugs and bulbs from my s3 gear and this does just what I wanted. Thanks

Could be a great app for the gear S3 sadly I can't use any of the widgets. Deezer widget works however outlook WhatsApp messages are just screenshots from my phone.

There is a lag in updating the widget between phone and Huawei watch. Even if I reduce to 1 minute on the settings when I open the widget it shows last time updated like more than 5 to 10 minutes ago. It won't update even if I leave it open.

Doesn't work as well as I hoped with Wink widgets. I bought this primarily so I can control my Wink setup. Watch is connected to the the phone but the app can't find the phone and keeps asking "phone nearby?" Or "failed to send tap". Additionally, the widgets take too long to load. I am sure the Wink widget is also problematic but the watch app seems quite flaky. On the plus side, any non-interactive widgets work just fine though they still take a while to show up. I would ask for my money back but am hopeful the developer will continue to work on this and improve the current poor experience on my Gear S3.

This app fills a void in the gear app market. It's not perfect as you can't really interact with the widgets from your phone on your watch, but it is perfect for displaying any kind of info like a weather or phone data use

S70%
by S####:

Seems to work, but it just replaces your entire watch face with the widget. Nothing like what is shown on their website or store description where widgets work with your watch face. Great if you don't actually want to use your watch as a watch. I was expecting an app like every other AW app. Swipe left open app, use widget, swipe again and close app. No it takes over the entire screen and the only way to get out is to go into watch setting and change the watch face back to an actual watch. Need to open it ? Go back to your list of app and scroll down to W open it, use widget, then go back into settings and change watch face back to your favorite watch. Maybe there are options to make it actually functional in the paid version, but I am not going to pay before I can play . RE: You don't know what I was expecting ? I was expecting a widget like what is pictured in your description that works along with a watch face. Adds a button or 2 to the watch face. Not an app that just takes over the entire watch face.

by E####:

Maybe I didn't have proper expectations. I wanted an app that would display widgets on 1 watch face for multiple apps, rather it's 1 widget, upgrade for multiple widgets ($), swipe, another widget swipe, swipe, etc. It's not near as convenient as i had hoped. UPDATE: my time widget wasn't staying current, obvious issue when my watch said the wrong time frequently. Sadly, app removed

Brilliant idea, but not really works well on my watch. The displayed widget will override the watchface, that is a drawback for me.

As a new project, I would like to see the same concept applied to Chromecast. This would be an excellent app concept for Chromecast! Especially for displaying real time stock & equities data on a TV via widgets created with this app.

Would be 5 star if it showed up in the widget list on my gear s3, atm I must either set it as the watchface, or open the gear app.

As the app has to host the widgets all the time, it's understandably a memory hog. I hope to get some more options on performance optimisation though.

Great idea, It does what it's supposed to do. I use this app to change my t.v channels from my watch wile using peel smart remote. It's funny when I mess with people remotely changing channels from my watch and no one knows that it's me pranking them. Great job development.

You can see the widget on your watch but you can't access it. Po Pandora, Netflix, useless
