Originally, the
notification system on the Gear (which should be a main selling point on
a smartwatch) was underdeveloped and not very useful. You would get
full text messages, but the only other notifications that came through
were Gmail and Twitter, but those just told you that something was there
with no preview and no way to know if it was important or not. Now,
that has all changed.
With the new update to
the Galaxy Gear Manager app, you now can get rich notifications from any
and all apps that you want. You can customize what apps are allowed to
send notifications through to your Gear. And, once the notification gets
to your smartwatch, you can see a more fleshed-out notification. Also,
app icons now have badges showing you how many unread messages or
notifications you have.
This is what we
envisioned from the Gear from the start, and it's great to see Samsung
continuing to work on improving the watch's functionality. You will need
to be on the newest firmware of the Gear for the update to work, but
after that all you need is the update to the Gear Manager app.
