It appears that Samsung is putting in a lot of effort in bringing more apps for the Gear S2, so that people won't complain about the lack of apps on their shiny new smartwatch. Earlier today, we reported about the SlamdunQ Cricket app for the Gear S2. Now, Samsung has introduced the ultra-popular Uber taxi app for its latest smartwatch.

With the brand new Uber app for the Gear S2, users can request for a cab, select a pre-set destination, and get information about the taxi driver just by rotating the smartwatch's bezel. As you can see in the video below, the app's UI looks quite intuitive. We hope to see more taxi and ride-sharing apps for the Gear S2 from companies like Lyft, Ola, Didi Kuaidi, Sidecar, and more.
