Find where the pizzas are with Pizza Compass

There is an app for almost anything these days so we’re not surprised to find out that even pizzas are getting in on the game. If you’ve had that hankering for some good pizza, let Pizza Compass lead the way. The app basically works to show you were the five nearest pizza places are. But it makes use of compass directions so it won’t be as accurate as you’d want it to be. But hey, it works on Android Wear, too. Happy pizza hunting!

CES 2015: Hyundai to introduce Android Wear app

Hyundai plans to debut its Android Wear-compatible app at the upcoming CES 2015. Called Blue Link, the app will let you start your car remotely, lock and open its doors, or find your car in crowded parking lots. Yes, you do this via voice function. Like a lot of Android Wear apps, you will need the app to be linked via Bluetooth to an Android smartphone for it to work.

Blue Link will work with Hyundai models that have the first and second generation Blue Link technology installed in them. It will be released sometime in this year’s first quarter.
