Top 5 Companion Apps You Must Try with Amazfit Watches in 2023

Generally, when we look for a wearable, we look for a watch that offers accurate fitness tracking, good build quality, and excellent battery life; Amazfit seems to have nailed it in all these areas. While the company has its own app called Zepp that pairs with Amazfit watches and allows users to control various stuff on the watch, it still lacks a comprehensive app store when compared to Apple Watch and Samsung watches.

Other Amazfit Apps to consider: Honorable mentions

Now that we have covered three of our favorite apps, let’s briefly look at other decent Amazfit watch apps that you can try.

4. Tools & Amazfit (Paid)

Tools & Amazfit is a good Amazfit companion app. It did not make it to the top 3 companion apps because of its price and functionality. Do not get me wrong, it is an excellent app, but Notify can do similar things while costing less. Also, Notify is compatible with more Amazfit watches compared to tools and Amazfit. The control over watch actions also seems better with Notify.

5. AMF

AMF is yet another useful app for Amazfit users out there. The app lets users customize how the notifications work on their watches, customize quick reply messages, and more. While the app offers some good features, it did not make it in the list of top 3 apps because of compatibility. AMF is compatible only with Amazfit Pace and Stratos watches, while the top 3 are compatible with most Amazfit watches like Amazfit GTS, Amazfit GTR, and more.
