[@JustinPennito]

Awesome awesome video!!! Thank you for the shout out! You actually did say the last name correctly lol! Thank you btw for telling me about Jason G, I'll be checking that out right now as well!

[@donavonhornbeck]

+Justin Pennito yeah, I wish his video was a bit more detailed, but it's better than nothing.

[@donavonhornbeck]

I've been exploring some Android Wear Apps that work well on the Ticwatch 2. If you happen to find anything let me know.

[@JonathanShyman]

Can you give the link to the other video(s) explaining how to install other types of apps? I could not find it doing a simple search for Justin's name, thanks!

[@MarcDufour35]

Easy to follow, great video thank you.

[@spunz83ify]

does the ticwatch 2 have a gps navigation app? i am in love with this watch! bt I need gps navigation for driving ard.

[@nootypenguino]

i think i might get this actually because at least i can have a few games, does this still work

[@monkeyman8265]

Does anybody know when watchmaker comes to the Ticwatch2 if it will also be compatible with the watch paired to iPhones? I read somewhere that watchmaker is coming to the TW2 in Feb/Mar but I couldn't find out if this is only going to work for android.

[@ganeshsai9530]

Hi.. Can u out up a video on how to run a PDF reader on the watch That would be really helpfull

[@stefanieschulte811]

Thank you for your video! I followed your instructions and had a great time with Ticwatch 2 and Android Wear. Now I have a new phone and the ticwatch app is different by now. I don´t know how to enable Android Wear now and miss using it on my Ticwatch - can you explain how to do it with the new ticwatch app please?

[@mateusrocchi959]

thank you! you won't believe how much this video helped me

[@donavonhornbeck]

+Mateus Rocchi no problem, glad to help.

[@YooprRoss1980]

Very good informative video

[@ignaciopizarro8953]

Hello! I'm sorry, I'm very new with this things. Should I synchronize android wear with the watch to download apps? It's not gonna get conflict with tic-wear? Thanks!

[@donavonhornbeck]

+Ignacio Pizarro you don't even need the Android Wear app on your phone to do this.

[@217nomiga]

Have you tried putting android pay on the watch?

[@Hungduy92]

Hi. is your Ticwatch 2 chinese or global version?

[@MarcusBedessee]

what's the solitare app called?

[@CustomTeslaLightshows]

Hi Donavon, does ticwatch 2 has a navigation app? Or something related to maps so I can drive with the watch

[@donavonhornbeck]

No, there are some who have found a work around to get maps to work, but it doesn't work natively in the Ticwatch 2. For that you would need to get the Ticwatch E or the Ticwatch S.

[@renaton1215]

How did you manage to get it working (google maps) on ticwatch, Donavon?

[@mistersee9731]

Hi, Do any keyboard apps work?

[@naveedyousaf1657]

i dont have 'advanced setting' option at my watch. can you guys help?

[@goncalohb1]

Can it read pdf or images?

[@naveedyousaf1657]

i mean at my phone in ticwear global app.

[@luxisrael]

hi thanks for this video but i dont have the 1024 its not work for me . do you have a solution? thanks

[@alexanderchu6768]

[@saiharish6700]

Man I need a gallery on tic watch 2 could you help me out

[@JAKOB1977]

how did you gte that Mobvoi app store on your phone?, i can see you have in ticwear companion? got the ticwear 4:13 beta or stabile but cant see how to get mobvoi app store on your ticwatch2

[@JAKOB1977]

perhaps make an new video about ticwatch 2 here anno late 2017 and any improvement and all those aspect you where talking about in the comment you would follow up on.(theres definately a big audience and these ticwatch videos with ticwatch 2 are some of the most watched on your channel. (perhaps an follow up)

[@donavonhornbeck]

Yeah, that video will be coming in the next week or so for sure.

[@JAKOB1977]

perfect Donavon will be obs for when it lands..

[@josingh20]

I did it by doing a factory reset on watch and re downloading the tic companion app. Then went onto app, clicked on store and it installed the mobvi store. But to be honest there is not much in it

[@Owen999]

Help me. On ticwear global have 1024???

[@todedragos]

hi guys! Does Google Maps work with this watch ?

[@jazza241]

does this work for apps like facer and watch maker premium and get watch faces from facerepo?

[@donavonhornbeck]

They just added support for Wathmaker Premium in the last week or so. I haven't tried facer though.

[@DebraDukes]

Donovan Absolutely Awesome Review very detailed review and definitely enjoyed Thanks so much for sharing Appreciate Deb 👍

[@donavonhornbeck]

Debra... thanks so much. Do you have a Ticwatch 2? I actually just sold mine off after using it as my primary watch for over 6 months. I've reviewed other watches, but then always went back to the Ticwatch 2. The Huawei Watch 2 is now my new go to watch though.

[@mrtheabsolutebest]

Is it possible to install google map???

[@graywoulf]

I followed all of your directions and I still do not know how to install the apps themselves.

[@20sec_shorts]

Ticwear global application is not work on my phone Ask ,, for better use of this watch , please allow the use of this permission But all permissions are allow in setting Please help me

[@gt5845]

how do you actually transfer the apps though.

[@donavonhornbeck]

You can't transfer all of the apps unfortunately. If you want apps, you may have to upgrade to one of the newer options from TicWatch like the TicWatch Pro of the C2.

[@gismoboss]

hi good video the app Watch Maker Premium work on TicWatch 2 ? thanks

[@donavonhornbeck]

+Christopher Llvt check out the Facebook group called "TicWatch 2 Global Launch." There are a lot of helpful discussions going on in that group about Watchmaker. Last I knew it wouldn't work, but there are a lot of people getting new things to work all the time and they are sharing them in the group.

[@lazycrockodile5690]

i recently bought ticwatch 2 and first thing i did was to buy watch maker. pretty cool app works fine.

[@mayankgogia6828]

does it give driving directions???

[@donavonhornbeck]

+Mayank Gogia there is a companion app that you can get that does offer driving directions, but I've never given it a try personally.

[@Hugh_Jundies]

Donavon Hornbeck what is it called? That sounds cool

[@angelpetrov7224]

Does the android wear gallery app work?

[@donavonhornbeck]

+Angel Petrov I'll have to test that out tonight for you. My first guess is no, because that app requires two way communication between the watch and the phone. In my experience only the native apps in Tic OS work with two-way communication.

[@CrazyLegsFE]

Did any sleep tracking apps work?

[@donavonhornbeck]

Nope, for sleep tracking I would recommend the Amazfit Pace.

[@MouryaBusa]

will google maps app work if i follow this way?

[@donavonhornbeck]

+Mourya no, you can use Google Maps, but you have to do some other tricks that I personally didn't feel the need to do. Check out the Facebook group for the Ticwatch 2, because there was a post in there where someone walked you through the steps to getting Google Maps to work.

[@pfuentesgalaz]

google keep?

[@donavonhornbeck]

Yeeah, it's for taking notes, kind of like Evernote if you are familiar with that app.

[@diamondog101]

BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (That helped me)

[@donavonhornbeck]

Glad to help. Did you by chance jump on the Ticwatch S or the Ticwatch E? They are pretty cheap on Amazon right now (until Black Friday). amzn.to/2hFkPzZ

[@lsu205]

if app does not work how do you delete it?

[@donavonhornbeck]

You can just delete it on your phone by long pressing it and dragging it up to the uninstall option at the top of your screen (if you have an Android phone).

[@alexanderchu6768]

how do you delete the apps you don't want

[@donavonhornbeck]

+Alexander Chu if they are apps that you are transferring from your phone (like in this video), just delete the app from your phone and it automatically goes away on the Ticwatch.

[@alexanderchu6768]

Donavon Hornbeck thanks

[@adityasaha3112]

how to download apps with ios device

[@avatar021]

Unfortunately this does not work on iPhone :(

[@donavonhornbeck]

+Diego Gonzalez bummer. That's not surprising though.

[@dudu43ss]

You can put by adb

[@sapountzisnikos]

does the google maps work?

[@donavonhornbeck]

+Nikos Sapountzis yes, but you have to use an add-on app. I'll see if I can find a link to show you how it's done.

[@sapountzisnikos]

Perfect i will really appreciated that. I am expecting my new ticwatch 2 this Saturday. You think i did well buying it now or i should had waited for the 3 one to be released?

[@sapountzisnikos]

any update to the add-on app?

[@0809Vinaybs]

Donavon Hornbeck Can you provide link to d add on app to get map working?

[@JRPW]

Yeah where is the link?

[@xoqes]

You need to be careful unlocking your phone in front of the camera. Everybody just saw what's your pin code

[@donavonhornbeck]

+Tiago Marques no big deal. Im not too worried. They would have to steal my phone for that to be of any use.

[@nootypenguino]

hello

[@nootypenguino]

i think i might get this actually because at least i can have a few games, does this still work

[@donavonhornbeck]

+ThePlumsDealer yes it does. Its still limited, but it definitely still works.

[@nootypenguino]

Donavon Hornbeck OK thanks

[@tpnsuryawanshi]
