All these free apps aren’t going to download themselves…

These are paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app, you will be charged.

NetWatch

Normally $0.99.

Have you ever faced a very slow application? Have you ever tried to send a “Sketch” or “TapTap” only to get a failed delivery notification? Worst, have you tried to send your “Heartbeat” to the love of your life without being absolutely sure that it arrives? We did!!

But why?

It’s just because your iPhone was not connected to the internet at the time.

Apple Watch is able to notify you whenever it loses contact with your iPhone… BUT not when your iPhone loses contact with the Internet (No Connection)

That’s why we decided to create NetWatch.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

NetWatch gives you a quick and easy way (with colors) to check the quality of your iPhone Network:

– Red: No Network (too bad!)
– Orange (2G): Almost no Network (let’s face it!!)
– Light Green (3G): good quality (but not the best)
– Solid Green (4G): Great quality. Everything is fine.
– Blue (Wifi) : The best (if you have a good service provider)

NetWatch gives you the name/SSID of your service provider (cellular or wifi network)

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

NEW : your iPhone Battery status on your wrist with NetWatch.

Now with NetWatch you get a full “control center” of your phone directly on your Watch. No need to get your phone out of your pocket anymore.

FORCE TOUCH : Every setting are available directly on your wrist with Force Touch. You Force Touch to select what to display in NetWatch.

NetWatch is simple and VERY fast (yeahh!) on Apple Watch. Even better, with Glance you’re just one “swipe up” from a reliable and up-to-date information whenever you want.
