Sony Hits The Play Store With A Companion App For The SmartBand Talk SWR30 And A Bunch Of Extensions

A reasonable person would expect Sony to release a single companion app for its SmartBand Talk activity tracker, which comes equipped with a small e-ink display. In this case, a reasonable person would be wrong. Sort of, anyway. Yes, there's one primary app for the SWR30, but you're going to need to install some separate extensions to get full use out of the fitness band once it hits store shelves next month.
Here are the five apps Sony released into the Play Store today. Once installed, you can look for the extensions inside the official companion app rather than your home screen.

The core companion app goes by the same name as the SmartBand Talk. This is the software you will need to connect the tracker to your smartphone and determine which activities are logged. Sony says the app is optimized for use with Xperia devices, but it's not an exclusive.

Smart Control Extension

This app will let you use the SmartBand Talk to toggle your phone's Wi-Fi or cellular radio. It can also detect your handset's battery level, activate the speaker, and switch audio modes.
