Any discussion of Android Wear will eventually turn to how you have to dig deep into the software to launch an app from your wrist. Tapping and swiping, and scrolling and tapping just isn't the perfect experience. A new app called Wear Mini Launcher aims to fix all of that. Install it to the phone you've paired with your Android Wear watch, and you're just one swipe away from a list of your installed apps.

Right now, it's buggy on the Samsung Gear Live. The developer has recognized this and says he will look into why. But on the G Watch it works a treat. Grab it from the Google Play link above.

Thanks, Michael!
