Apple Watch aficionado Craig Hockenberry of The Iconfactory has scratched
his own itch with a new app we can all appreciate.
The complication Apple provides a Now Playing complication to tap and
control audio playing from any app on your iPhone or Apple Watch.
Well, that's true if you're using a watch face like Modular with a big wide
complication slot or an analog face with an complication slide within the
dial.
The most common complication slot these days is perhaps the corner
complication, which is especially true on analog faces where you generally
have four slots. Some watch faces like Meridian and Infograph even have
circular complications within the dial.
The problem
It turns out, Apple doesn't actually provide a Now Playing corner
complication for these newer styles. Granted, they've only existed for -
checks calendar - about four years. What you get instead is called Music and
Podcasts, while the other is called Now Playing.
Not so helpful for every other app that isn't one of those two. It also
means you need two complications for the same function if you want to
control music and podcast playback and not just one.
The fix
Enter Now Playing Plus, the new and free app by the makers of Twitterrific
and other great apps.
"Now Playing Plus provides corner and circular complications for your Apple
Watch face," the app's description reads. "This gives you easy access to
audio controls, without needed to hunt around in the App List or Dock."
That's it. App does what it says. It's a now playing corner complication.
Download it for free and give yourself a solution that should come with
watchOS 10. Or watchOS 9.1. Or watchOS 9.0.2. You get the idea. It's the
best Now Playing complication money can buy . and did we mention it's free?
