Hi everyone!
My name is Tom de Ruiter, and I’m a 14 year old iOS developer from the Netherlands. This summer I’ve been one of 350 WWDC Scholarship recipients that could join the biggest Apple Developer Conference in San Francisco. By making an app about yourself, what you are currently up to, and what you would like to do when you are grown up, young, teen iOS developers could have a chance to win a free ticket (1600$) for the annual Apple Conference where Apple VP’s would unveil their newest software, and, sometimes, hardware.
Here, at WWDC, they unveiled their newest, and first, Apple Watch software update, watchOS 2. I’ve learned a lot about it, and all of its new features for developers, in this week in America. Finally back home, when I finally got my Apple Watch delivered, I came to the discovery that the default phone app on the Apple Watch didn’t include a keypad to call people that are not in your contacts list. At the WWDC, I’ve learnt about watchOS 2 and how to make apps for it, and started working on a new idea.
The last couple of weeks/months, I’ve trying to change my idea to reality, now with Watch Keypad. Watch Keypad allows you to call and text, everyone directly from your Apple Watch on your wrist, with a simple keypad, without having them in your contacts list.
As you would have expect, I’ve made Watch Keypad mainly out of own frustration, because I really liked the idea of calling from your wrist. The app itself is simple, and is just focusing on one thing; calling and texting from a keypad.
May you have feedback, or have just something to tell, feel free to leave a comment below or see our FAQ: www.watchkeypad.com/FAQ
