Is it possible to use another app stores ? - Samsung Gear S3

Hello
I want to install some apps I see from apple store or other indenpendant stores. Because the galaxy watch store is very poor in terms of choice. So my question is, Is the galaxy store the only way to install apps ? I try to connect Gear s3 to the google Wear Os, but it refused.
Thanks for time

Apple store is for other platform (iOS, watchOS, iPadOS) while Galaxy Watch or Gear is using Tizen OS platform which very different. So there is no way to install apps directly from apple store.
PS: your question is like how to install iOS apps on the Android phone. Lol

What about an apk website for smartwatches?

How do you install Tizen apps from non Samsung phone?

I am gonna secure one today from BB. I looked at google play and cannot find a Tizen app that communicates with S2. Samsung phones have a gear app that will communicate with their watches. I looked up Samsung.com and could not find info.
How does one install tizen apps on Gear S2 watch? from the watch itself?
You will need to download the Samsung Gear app.

I'm using an LG G3 and I had to install the Gear Manager app from the Play Store.

Once I connected my watch it prompted me to install a couple other plug ins and sign in to Samsung, but it wasn't confusing to get it going.
I have a Padfone S and the store won't let me install it. I had to download the APK from another APK repository to install it. Seems to work OK so I don't see why they won't let me download the app from the Play Store.

HERE WeGO map out of store

After installing the official Gear Manager for Ios (Iphone), I had to resett my Gear.
Of course all previous apps were deleted. One was HERE WeGo.
After reinstaling all apps I could not find the app HERE WeGo any longer.
Is it out of the store or only as a paid version?

I have the same problem with many apps , i think there is 2 possibility first it's maybe because of iPhone version of gear app and the second one it is maybe depend on region of your watch
but before ios paring, do you paired your watch with Samsung or android device ?
Same issue.

Same exact issue here. Did a reset on the Gear s3 in order to switch from Beta to the officially supported iOS app. After that Here WeGo was gone and not available on the app store any longer.
If I find any solution/answer I will post it here.
Thanks for your post!

Same here: Germany. Thinking about going back to Android app
I m going back to android app as well due to lack of crucial apps like spotify . I have the LTE frontier and was happy with the standalone spotify on it.

The APP for Spotify without any companion app is "Wammer". Very nice! See here.

Topic is about Here WeGo !
Not about Spotify. Start your own topic please.
Same here, I live in Germany. It seems that the Android version has many more apps in the store including WeGo and the standalone navigation software

It's strange. For in the beta version of the Gear Manager it was available.
Installed it then. But after reset for original Gear Manager lost the App Here WeGo.:crying:

If you try to install most apps on android, they will show up in your iOS device under "My Apps"->"All" and you can install them from there. However, it doesn't work with all apps. And some that install (including navigator) won't work, because they need a companion app on the phone.
I like Here Wego but although I can get the US version off Play, I can only get the European version from Gear.

Latest Update for Samsung Gear S3
HERE WeGo: Latest Update for Samsung Gear S3 gets public transit and companion mode
But is not available for Ios users. Cannot find it !
The app Here wego is only available for Samsung Phones and S3, i cant find it in my LG,
Yes you need Samsung phone to be able to download it. What worked for me was to pair with a Samsung phone download Here Wego take backup of watch and pair up again with my Nexus 6p and do a restore. Now you can find Here Wego from my apps in the app store.

Anyway to download apps that are not available anymore in gear store?

Hey guys,
i just bought my first smartwatch and am pretty excited about it.
Anyway I was searching what apps are available to download for my S2 and saw that Yelp made an app called Yelp for Gear. I was trying to search for this app but nothing popped up in gear store and it seems like for some reason they took it down from the store.
Now I know that you can sideload apps just like the phone so i am wondering if there is a website like apkmirror where they store all the apps (but for our s2) so you can download and sideload them yourself?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry.
In Tizen World most users are scared to backup... so also "sharing" backups.
This is also big difference to Android...
Best Regards

Same problem. I asked dev for advise and respond me this:
Apologies - Samsung removed the Companion App for WatchMaker from Galaxy Apps Store.
This was due to Samsung requiring a change in our business model so that we should sell watches on the Samsung platform, as well as on Google and Apple.
We are working closely with Samsung to get this resolved as soon as possible and have already submitted a new version for Samsung to review.
Once the new version is approved, it will work exactly the same as the current version and will not force any additional purchases.
Updates will be posted on this thread below :

Is there any other good apk for watchfaces??
Guys I don't get it. I had an LG watch in 2014. I was very happy with watchmaker and there were even bigger communities for watchfaces. All faces were free from the community, very few were priced. I installed the samsung gear watchmaker app (3 swiss francs), and most of the faces cost 1 franc (just the same as on the galaxy app store). Am I missing something? If I buy the premium app (4 swiss francs) from the google play store, do I get all the paid watchfaces for free or how does it work?
Paid Watchmaker app is just to possibility use infinite faces in the app, not to have infinite paid faces free

Samsung Gear S3 with Google App store?

Hi all, I hope im in the right place for this... just bought an S3. Is it possible to download watchfaces found on the Google App store? I have an iphone running the Gear S app which is very limited. If i browse the Google store from my computer there are some great looking watch faces but i have no idea how to get them over to my watch. Do i need to sideload them somehow?
Thanks in advance.

"Facer" and "WatchMaker" lets you create, buy and import numerous third party faces.
Check out some marvelous smartwatch groups on Google communities.
