\nJust about everyone knows about Spotify these days. It\u2019s the go-to music streaming app for hundreds of millions of users. Featuring extensive playlists from nearly every genre of music, podcasts, full discographies of numerous bands and artists, and much more.
\nWith Spotify on your Galaxy Watch 4, you can use the app as a controller for music streaming on your phone or you can choose to download your music to the watch. Thus turning it into a music player for a pair of connected Bluetooth headphones or earbuds.
\nWithout a doubt this is one of the best apps to have on your Galaxy Watch 4. Though it does require a subscription if you want Spotify Premium, you can use the app without a monthly cost if you\u2019re willing to listen to periodic ads.

\nEveryone needs a little help getting around now and again. And whether you constantly struggle with directions or just aren\u2019t familiar with a new city, Google Maps on your Galaxy Watch 4 is one of the best apps to have around. While you could easily whip out your phone and get more features, using the app on your watch is a little more convenient and efficient. Not to mention it might be your only option if you have your hands full.
\nYou can simply launch the app with a tap of your finger then tap the mic button to speak any commands for directions. Sure the screen is small. But if you\u2019re in a pinch and need a quick hit of information on where to go, this can be an invaluable tool.

\nCalm is a great app for meditation, sleep and just general improved mindfulness. You\u2019ll need a pair of Bluetooth headphones or earbuds connected to the watch to use this app. Or, connected to your phone if you\u2019re using the Calm Wear OS app as a controller.
\nThe Wear OS app also features a Calm breathing tile and the ability to view your daily meditation minutes. If you use Calm on your smartphone or tablet, then you will definitely want to use it on your watch as well.

\nGoogle Pay wasn\u2019t available on the Galaxy Watch 4 at launch. Once it made its way to the device though, users who prefer it over Samsung Pay can now use the Galaxy Watch 4 to pay for goods and services with a tap of their wrist.
\nYou\u2019ll still need to unlock the screen to finalize payment. But you\u2019ll need to do the same thing using your phone. So this saves you the step of having to pull your phone out of your pocket.
\nIf you\u2019re a Google Pay user, this is definitely one of the best apps to have on the Galaxy Watch 4. Especially now with how many places accept contactless payments these days.

\nThe quintessential app for installing new watch faces on your Galaxy Watch 4. Facer is a massive library of watch faces for smartwatches and contains both free and paid options. It also has a huge community of users with many of the designs being user-created.
\nAdditionally, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ll find something that fits your personal tastes. As we\u2019ve found it to be pretty difficult to come across a particular watch face theme that the app didn\u2019t have. Love anime? There\u2019s plenty of cool anime watch faces on Facer.
\nThere\u2019s also a ton of functional ones that can integrate well with installed apps and features. You\u2019ll also find watch faces with animated backgrounds and more. If you\u2019re using a Galaxy Watch 4, you want this app.

\nIf you\u2019re like us, you probably aren\u2019t typing or responding to messages on your smartwatch a whole lot. But that doesn\u2019t mean you won\u2019t ever use it. Messages lets you easily see incoming notifications of texts you get on your smartphone. You can then reply to those messages right from the watch if you don\u2019t feel like pulling your phone out.
\nWhether you want to type out the message using taps on the keyboard (don\u2019t do this, it\u2019s a pain), or use the mic button to speak your response, the Messages app can handle it. All directly on the watch. Then all you have to do is hit send, and boom. Done.

\nGoogle Keep<\/p>\n

\nHave you ever been out and about and needed to jot down a quick note or reminder to pick something up or do something before you head home? Google Keep is the perfect tool for making little notes like this and ensuring you don\u2019t forget.
\nIt\u2019s also a great way to save links, and my personal favorite, for creating shopping lists. In fact, the shopping list feature might be the best possible use case scenario. Thanks to the little check boxes that pop up which you can tap and mark off once you\u2019ve placed the item in your cart.
\nBest of all is you can view and create lists on the watch as well. So there\u2019s really no limitations to this version of the app. Which is great because viewing and interacting with a list on the watch is insanely convenient. Naturally, Google Keep on the Galaxy Watch 4 supports voice typing and tap typing. Though if you\u2019re not going to speak your notes, we\u2019d suggest using the gesture typing instead. It\u2019s easier than using the on-screen keyboard.

\nIt wouldn\u2019t feel quite like a Samsung smartwatch without the inclusion of SmartThings. The SmartThings app is an easy way to control all of your smart home devices that are compatible with the SmartThings platform. Whether it\u2019s turning on or off your lights, starting a load of laundry, or seeing who\u2019s at the door using your smart doorbell, SmarThings makes it easy to manage smart devices around the home.
\nLike other platforms, you can also use it away from home as long as you\u2019re connected to the internet. And chances are your watch will be connected most of the time. You can also use the app to configure device settings. Overall, it\u2019s a pretty useful app. And like the rest of the apps on this list, it\u2019s one of the best ones to have on your Galaxy Watch 4 if your smartphone either isn\u2019t nearby or you just don\u2019t want to pull it out of your pocket.

\nYouTube Music<\/p>\n

\nYouTube Music is a decent alternative for a music streaming app on your watch if you aren\u2019t a Spotify user. And it may be the only worthwhile option for people who want to bundle their YouTube Music Premium subscription with a YouTube Premium subscription.
\nLike with Spotify, you can use the app on your watch to manage playback of songs that are streaming from the app on your smartphone. Or if you prefer to keep your phone at home while you\u2019re out exercising, you can download your YouTube Music playlists and songs to the watch for offline playback instead.

\nThis is one of our favorite apps on this list. The Samsung Calculator is already pre-installed on the Galaxy Watch 4. But we like this better because of an additional useful feature. The currency conversion calculator which is extremely useful if you\u2019re traveling.
\nNow the smartphone version of the app has a lot more features than the Wear OS version. But you can still use the currency converter on the watch app. And that\u2019s one thing the pre-installed calculator app can\u2019t do. So if you travel a lot and could use that sort of feature at your fingertips, definitely pick up this app for your Galaxy Watch 4.
