Just noticed ANDROID WEAR section added to Google Play.
On Nexus 7 Play Store menu select Store Home, Apps, and under the Home tab is a button labelled ANDROID WEAR.
It has sections for: Featured Apps, Social Apps, Tools For Android Wear, Communication Apps, Health & Fitness, Productivity Apps, Travel & Local, More Apps For Wear.
There is still much value in Wear Apps like:
Wear Store for Android
and
Wear HQ for Android.
Moto 360 users still have to deal the problem that not many apps (correctly) support the round screen 320x290 pixels. Some apps still crash opening on Moto 360, while others have design flaws.
For example, Wear Mini Launcher has a lot of utility, yet it reserves a portion of the screen edge permanently (adjustable more or less in settings).
Some apps like the Calculator For Android Wear do not work with Wear Mini Launcher because they place buttons right up to the left, bottom, and right screen edges.
Note: This thread is not about criticizing hard working app developers. I'm just attempting to inform people to improve experience with Moto 360.
Awesome, that Wear Store app is use full.
Thank you
Looks exactly like what you get when you hit browse suggested apps from within the android wear app.

They changed that when they added the extra options originally it just brought you to the list that's now featured apps and that's all it showed.
Hi Guys,
I'm a developer of Wear HQ for Android Wear, and I'm looking to enchant and improve my app. What would you like to be fixed or added in Wear HQ app ?
Thanks for feedback,
Luka
