MSTY MUSIC TO YOUR EARS, OR JUST WHITE NOISE? The App Store is akin to 19th century America. It’s a land of unbridled opportunity. Enter MSTY: a new Snapchat-esque messaging app that lets friends communicate via the ancient medium of music. MSTY – or My Song To You, to use its full name – is clearly hoping to muscle in on a space dominated by the likes of WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and the aforementioned Snapchat. So, does it have what it takes to succeed in such a competitive market? Well, no. Much like a chart-topping single, every world-conquering app needs one thing: a killer hook.

No matter if you’re a dedicated Android or iOS fan, there are options out there from the Apple Watch to the Samsung Gear 2. But what about the minority of people who have opted for a mix between both platforms? Up until recently you’d have largely been in limbo when it comes to mixing between devices, but the recent launch of Android Wear on iOS has been a big step forward. Now users of one of a select few Wear smartwatches can pair up their iOS device to their Android smartwatch. While the current selection of Android Wear smartwatches that will work with your iOS device are fairly small for the time being, there are plans for the range to expand in early 2016 and beyond. It’s a surprisingly smooth system to sync the two devices together, if not just a little time consuming, and there’s no real performance issues once the connection has been made. Certain Google apps don’t have the full suite of features you may have seen on their Android versions, and it’s important to note you won’t nd the same swath of apps on the App Store that are compatible with your Wear smartwatch, but what’s available are all decent for the most part.
