FEATURE 10 BEST APPLE WATCH COMPLICATIONS- CITYMAPPER
Price: Free at go.macworld.com/citm
Citymapper Transit Navigation is an
invaluable navigation app if you rely on
public transportation in a major city, and
its Apple Watch complication is almost as
essential for getting you where you need to
go. The smaller complication lets you know
when you’ll arrive at your destination, while
the larger one lets you know the next step
you’ll need to take on your journey (such as
a transfer for a different train).
Citymapper works great for car trips,
too, but its Apple Watch support keeps
you from constantly dragging out your
phone when you’re heading somewhere
on foot.
5. JUST PRESS RECORD
Price: $4.99 at go.macworld.com/jspr
At the moment watchOS doesn’t have a
dedicated Voice Memos app—although one
is reportedly on the way—so Just Press
Record is easily one of your best
alternatives. The complication in particular
makes it more useful than it is on the iPhone.
You can use it for quick reminders or
notes—particularly if you’re worried iOS’s
dictation won’t accurately capture it with a
traditional note taking app—and I
personally use it to “jot down” story ideas
that hit me while I’m on my train commute.
Once you’re done, just press the big red
button to stop. You can access the
recorded snippets from either your Apple
Watch or your iPhone (where you’ll also
find a transcription).
It’s good for letting you know when you need
to...disembark.
It’s a great way to “jot down” article ideas that
come to me on my commute.
