The fact that most users prefer free applications is something that no one escapes. Especially considering the triumph of the freemium model in which you charge for add-ons as long as you offer a free tool, without having to make a down payment. Something that, in the field of smart watches, seems to be repeating itself, although for very different reasons.And it is that a failure has been discovered in the operation of the operating system Android Wear that prevents use paid apps on smartwatches that are already available for this platform: Samsung Gear Live and LG G Watch
In this way, the first users to receive an order for one of these watches have discovered a curious malfunction or abug preventing the use of paid applications through the wrist screen. A question that for the moment is little less than testimonial, but that will not be a bit of grace to the developers who try to position themselves and make money with the first paid apps for smartwatches. A bug that is expected to be resolved with an update shortly.
Apparently, the fact is related to the security of Android Wear And its encryption or encryption is so strong that it prevents the transmission of data from applications that have been purchased through Google Play using the connectionBluetooth with which it communicates with the mobile. In other words, for the moment it is impossible to use the applications purchased on Google Play through the watch because the link between the mobile phone and the watch has this bug. An excessive security that prevents the reading of the downloaded data packages and, therefore, any type of operation of these applications through the wrist. This ruling, however, fully respects the free tools, which continue to work as expected on these smartwatches.
Hopefully Google will quickly fix this issue with an update to Android Wear Through a patch, as it is known in the jargon. Something common in the launch of new products that still have several points to refine. However, it's still a cheap shot for those content creators who want to start making money with their watch apps intelligent And it is that being the first in some aspect of technology has its good side and its bad side. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid buying applications for Android Wear for the moment, hoping that, shortly, Googleget things sorted out and start seeing more apps and tools specially designed for these devices that are getting so much attention.
Day by day the selection of applications for Android Wear continues to grow At the moment there are useful tools like IFTTT, Google Maps, Google Keep, Pinterest, Banjo and various other applications that seek to put your information on the wrist. Tools that, for the most part, are completely free, and for which we will have to bet at least until this bug is solvedwith paid applications.
