About Wear Music Controller APK
Table Of Contents
Description
Control your favourite mobile music player from your watch.Provides more features and a smarter user-interface than the stock controller, and is compatible with more music players. It also features a brand-new music watch face.
This app works for a TRIAL period of 4 days, after which you must PURCHASE the LICENSE from within the mobile app.
A watch app, and supporting watch notifications enable you to perform these functions: Play/Pause, Previous, Next, Volume-Up, Volume-Down. The experimental Play... function allows you to play in any supported App, or start a Playlist.
There is also a choice of user interfaces: Sparse for use when running and walking; Compact for use otherwise. There is also a Voice Command option for use when driving or cycling, allowing you to speak commands to skip track, start a playlist, or decrease volume etc. For example, just say "OK Google; Start Music Controller", and then "Turn it up". The full-screen notification can be changed to a card from the phone settings.
HOW TO USE:
1) ENABLE NOTIFICATION LISTENING PERMISSION from phone.
2) Play music!
The watch app can be started manually, or by voice: "Ok Google, Start Music Controller" (note: using voice commands will stop your music temporarily!).
Song title and artist information is shown, where available. Album artwork is shown where available for users of KitKat and above, JB users only for music stored on mobile. Track progress information, plus other extended information such as BPM is shown where available.
This has been confirmed to work on Android stock music player, Google Music Player, Rocket Player, PlayerPro, SoundCloud (sometimes - best to use My Cloud Player), MediaMonkey, doubleTwist, Spotify, Music Unlimited, jetAudio, Audible, ChromaDoze, Shuttle, PowerAmp (album art only when phone screen is on), VLC, BBC iPlayer Radio, Sonos Controller, Podcast Republic, Podcast & Radio Addict, Pocket Casts. Other music players, audio-book players, white-noise generators etc may or may NOT work, so please check before purchasing the license. Some music players have their own notifications, which will show up alongside ones from this app (some can be muted from the Android Wear App). Sometimes a different media player may start up when playing from the watch if you have multiple players installed.
The stock Android Wear Music Card may show up as well, and CANNOT be dismissed/hidden. This is a limitation of Android Wear, not this app. This app attempts to place its card above the standard one for convenience, also by making the notification on-going/persistent. You can close the notification using the Close action button. DON'T use Block App - this will hide this app's notification indefinitely (until you enable again in Android Wear App).
This also works with Yatse XBMC remote control, so therefore may work with other remote control apps like Chromecast etc.
Advanced settings are available to tweak functionality to support more devices and apps. Tasker / Locale is also supported for actions such as starting the watch app or notification, or Play..., useful for when Bluetooth headphones/speakers are connected for example.
Square and round watches are both supported. Only Android Wear watches are supported. This app will NOT play music that is stored on your watch. Limited/no compatibility with Napster or Rhapsody.

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.

4 ★Worked as described. Controls my Pandora very well.
1 ★Not downloading to Moto 360 v2
3 ★Not work with Joox
5 ★works great on my lg g watch
5 ★nice apps
5 ★Just downloaded and tested with amazon music. It looks great and works flawlessly. I really like the layout of the app. This is exactly what I was looking for. I will update with any changes I come across, good or bad, after I get more use out of the app.
4 ★Even when the music apps I use somewhat break the functionality of this app, the app continues to work by allowing me to at least pause/play and skip foreword/back.
5 ★This app is perfect, easy to use, nice UI. Work with Amazon music, Google music, Saavan, TuneIn. These four I have. Kudos to development team.
1 ★This app has maybe potential but it's not even near to be asking money for it. It worked with Spotify but not Rocket Player or Audible. And Spotify support we don't really need since it's working pretty good in Android wear. So, it's so far a pretty useless app. Deleted!
3 ★got it mainly to start stitcher from my watch while driving. it launches the app on my phone, but neither vocally nor by tapping play will it start a podcast. i just keep getting a pop up message on the phone saying "wear music controller: an error has occured." other music apps start ok. disappointed :( in that case i'm switching to podcast addict which seems a bit more wear-friendly. giving it a test run for now...
5 ★I needed an app to control Pandora so that I can like and dislike songs, and change stations. This does that in a beautiful way.
3 ★Love the list view of all songs. But buttons always reload and the app is very slow. Needs to stick in memory when music is playing
