As we near the April 24th launch for the Apple Watch, a pair of notable apps have received support for the device this evening. First off, Microsoft’s OneNote app has been updated to version 2.11.7 with support for the Apple Watch. A variety of features will be available from the Watch, including the ability to dictate new notes.
Microsoft says that OneNote on Apple Watch will allow users to access their recently created notes, as well as create new ones via dictation. Evernote announced a similar functionality for Apple Watch earlier this month, as well. Microsoft’s full description for its Apple Watch app can be read below. In addition to Apple Watch support, tonight’s OneNote update also includes a handful of bug fixes. The update is available now on the App Store for free. Microsoft this morning also updated its PowerPoint app with support for Apple Watch.
From the OneNote change log:
OneNote for Apple Watch – Excited about the Apple Watch? So are we! OneNote for Apple Watch allows you to pull up your recent notes or dictate new ones on the go, perfect for checking your list at the grocery store or capturing a thought instantly. Welcome to the future.
Furthermore, Calcbot has also gained support for Apple Watch this evening. Calcbot is the popular calculator and unit converter app from the developers of Tweetbot. Calcbot allows users to quickly perform conversions and scientific functions. The app was previously available on iOS and Mac and now Apple Watch with an update rolling out today.

Don’t buy anything from Tapbots. They stop updating their apps and re-release the same product under a different name so that you’re forced to buy it again just so you can have it supported under the latest iOS version.
This has happened exactly once (Tweetbot for iOS), and it was for a significant upgrade and redesign that required many months of work. Calcbot 2 came out as a free upgrade with an in-app purchase to unlock power user features. A free download is hardly a big expense. Convertbot’s functionality was also rolled into Calcbot with that update (thus Convertbot no longer required continued support).
Heck, they’ve even promised a massive rewrite and redesign of Tweetbot for Mac as a free upgrade for everyone who owns the app. So what on earth are you bellyaching about?
Except I paid for Convertbot, and for me to regain the functionality of converting, I’d have to pay again to upgrade it. Calcbot is a free download as a calculator only (useless as my iPhone already has a calculator).
IKR. Damn developers expecting to see a return for all their hours and hours of hard work. I can’t believe they have the audacity to expect another five whole dollars from people.
Meanwhile, you go enjoy your $3 latte which lasts approximately 5 minutes and while maybe Googling precisely how much work actually goes into making an app.
Spare me your ‘poor developers trying to feed their family’ non-sense. The product is sold under a company name, and as a company I expect them to provide support on products they sold and made money off of. I’m not asking for new features, just basic OS compatibility.
Calcbot seems a little ‘heavy’ for a watch, but im sure many people will love it. Though Siri can already do calculations and conversions…
Never thought I’d say it, but damn, Microsoft is making a lot of right moves recently.
I love Outlook (Accompli) on iOS, in particular notifications for ‘focused’ emails, which I hope is coming to Apple Watch.
App Store featured utility App CALC has also an Apple Watch support with History, Tip estimates and dictation … Apple just released all the #AppleWatch App screenshots to the #AppStore! http://qapps.co/calc
