HOW TO GET AN APP ON YOUR APPLE WATCH FREE
Thirstic is free to try and then you can choose between a monthly, annual or lifetime subscription. There’s also a good selection of charts and data when you open up the iPhone app. There are no ads, and the interface is simple, straightforward, and most importantly of all, fast and easy to use. You can also fine tune the parameters to suit your own preferences, so for example you can disable the weather forecast integration or make the activity sensing more or less sensitive. It’s a clever idea, and there’s some more good thinking on show here: the app doesn’t send your data to remote servers, but uses your Watch’s integration with the Health app on your phone instead. So if you go to the gym on a Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Thirstic will learn that and adjust your hydration targets and notification frequency accordingly if the days get hotter, Thirstic will take that into account too. That’s because it learns the patterns of your life and monitors the weather conditions to calculate a daily dynamic water intake goal. There are many water intake trackers on the App Store, but Thirstic – ahem – drinks differently. This list of Apple Watch fitness, running, wellbeing and health apps are nearly all must-have - if you're going to do one thing with your new Watch, use it to become a healthier you in mind and body. There's no denying that the main thrust of the Apple Watch since the second model is for fitness: it's packing GPS, heart rate, water resistance and improved sensors to make the most of the fact people like to work out with this thing - it even connects to gym equipment. Best Apple Watch apps for fitness and health The core app is free to try and subscription-based if you decide to stick with it you can pay monthly at $0.99 / £0.99 / AU$1.49 per month, but a lifetime subscription is only $9.99 / £8.99 / AU$14.99. It integrates with the Health app and Siri Shortcuts, and it’s also available as complications for compatible Watch faces, so for example you can have a circular dial in the center or a percentage and total in a larger complication.
Waterful isn’t the only hydration tracker on the App Store, but it’s one of the friendliest: we particularly like the main display, which uses a nice design to show you exactly what you’ve been filling yourself up with and how well you’re doing against your daily hydration target. It’s the same with things like hydration: we really can’t be bothered picking up our phone to track every single bottle of water or cup of coffee, but we’re happy to quickly tap our Apple Watch while we sip. For example, its automated workout detection means we record fitness data we wouldn’t otherwise think about.
One of the things the Apple Watch is really good for is tracking little things, the kind of things you probably wouldn’t reach for your phone to record.
