Apart from a few smartwatches, we also saw Google ramp up the production of its smart glasses, the Google Glass. With the wearable trend catching on, and more exciting things bound to come in 2014, its about time that the general public was made aware of the truly praiseworthy creations that otherwise might not have gained much popularity. The first app review website for these devices today released the results of the First Wearable App Awards.
The folks at Wearable App Review has reviewed over 150 apps on eight wearable devices so far in 2013, devices include Google Glass, smartwatches from Samsung, Sony and Pebble, the Jawbone UP, Fitbit Flex, LUMOback and Misfit Shine.
