Google announced that it releases Android Wear 2.0 developer preview 4. A key part of Android Wear 2.0 is letting watch apps work as standalone apps, so users can respond to messages, track their fitness, and use their favorite apps, even when their phone isn't around. Users will be able to search, install, and use apps without ever leaving their device. The standalone nature of the Android Wear 2.0 app will offer a big boost in search performance and app responsiveness.
Here is the view how other developers are enhancing their user experience with standalone apps.
Glide
Glide is the fastest live video messenger app on the planet. Using the Wear Complications API, Glide is now able to live broadcast directly from the watch face. By tapping contact shortcuts from the watch face, you can now launch directly into a conversation. This makes wrist-based communication more accessible and effortless.
Foursquare
