TROUBLESHOOTING
A few users found that the watch component of the app did not transfer immediately to the watch. Unfortunately it is outside of my control how quickly Android Wear "discovers" newly installed apps...
Here are a few things you can try:
► Make sure you look for my app under the name "Button to Search" on the watch
► Wait
► Reboot the watch
► Reboot watch and phone at the same time
► Resync All (from Android Wear app on the phone) → But please know that the complete resync process can take as long as 20 minutes, because then every app is re-transferred and re-installed on the watch
Connection problems are usually caused by outdated or non-matching Android Wear and Google Play Services versions on the phone or watch:
► Update your Android Wear app from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.wearable.app
► You can try to manually update Google Play Services from APKMirror
NEW: GOOGLE NOW FEED BUTTON
► A second command appears that you can also assign to one of the buttons: "Feed"

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.
