Description

Want to start music or podcast playback from your wrist?

Now with Playback Starter on your Android Wear Smartwatch you can!

Just tell your watch you want to "Start Playback" and it will show you the list of applications that will accept a start playback command.
The app you choose will be launched and told to start playback remotely.

Because some of the applications that say they will accept a playback command don't seem to do anything with them you can hide them from the app on your phone.

This app was inspired by Media Button Router and uses it's method for finding applications which can be told to start playback. ( https://code.google.com/p/media-button-router/ )

Playback Starter For Wear works very well with Google Play Music, Pocket Casts, Doggcatcher, Shuttle+, Saavn and Spotify.

What's new in version 1.0.3

1.0.3 -
Fixed a problem introduced by Spotify's new network check at application launch.
Now if Spotify was not already running Playback Starter will launch it and wait 6 seconds until it sends the play command to Spotify.
Thank you to the user who emailed me and told me about this problem!

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Great app, work like magic! Please add option to change the background on selection menu (transparent option would be perfect). Apps in two rows and filter by recent used would be great
5 ★Such an important app for me to easily start listening when my phone is in my pocket or hard to access.
4 ★Just launches Apple Music, doesn't play anything, annoying
5 ★This is wonderful. Now I can start Spotify and Pocket Casts straight from my watch, ready to play or browse. Thank you!
4 ★I happen to have a bug in which two instances of soundcloud appears but otherwise works flawlessly! also wish we could customize the icon, the checker is a bit of an eyesore
5 ★It works perfectly! I was going crazy trying to find a reliable way to start Pocket Casts playback from the watch and this is it. It works on the first try every time. Thanks!
5 ★I've actually wanted something like this since I've gotten my Moto 360. I couldn't believe I stumbled upon this app! Now I can't start playing music from any of my music app without talking to my watch or touching my phone.
5 ★THANK YOU! I've been looking for this functionality since I got my watch. This is a huge help.
5 ★I can confirm that it worked for Shuttle+ & Saavn as well. Works like a charm..
5 ★Seriously, Why isn't this a standard feature in wear? Either way, good job. Works perfectly.
5 ★Same job with out a 4 day trial.
2 ★Doesn't actually start playing anything.
