Android Wear 2.0 makes a number of significant changes to the functionality of your watch, not the least of which is how you access the app list. Rather than a swipe, you press the crown button. If you want the swipe back (along with some extras), check out Launcher for Android Wear. It’s a launcher for Android Wear.
This app comes to us courtesy of Appfour, the developer of rage-inducing and inevitable apps like Web Browser for Android Wear, Mail for Android Wear, and Video for Android Wear. This app is a bit more practical than those. After installing Launcher for Android Wear, you get a new swipe gesture that’s triggered by the extreme right edge of the display. Just drag in while on any screen and you have a full app list. You can choose between a grid and list interface, too. A tap opens and a long-press lets you star, hide, uninstall, and more. There’s also a launcher complication that can be added to watch faces.
