WatchCloud is an independent app that uses the official SoundCloud API in accordance with the API Terms of Use.
When I first used this app would experience constant crashes and slowdown on my AW SE 2 but now is operating a lot more smoothly, only request would be to have a sync button as currently any changes to playlists and liked tracks requires a full restart which is not that intuitive on watchAlso another feature I would like is randomised autoplay like the soundcloud app, at the moment if a song is chosen every subsequent song will be the same song or a song with the same name where soundclouds advantage is it lets you listen to new songs or songs you haven’t heard from that artist due to the randomised autoplay

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the app! 🕺💃The upcoming version (1.3.1) adds a "related tracks" button that you can use to have something like you're describing, can you let me know what you think?Thanks for your review! 🙌
Great app for SoundCloud listeners

This app is now my go to now that daftcloud is no more. The login experience is far easier than daftcloud, I also like the QR share feature. Would be great to be able to scrub through tracks and also repeat a single track. Thanks again for creating this app, you saved a lot of us who cannot use daftcloud anymore!!
Developer Response
Thank you for the kind review! Good news: the app now supports track scrubbing with the Digital Crown, and Repeat One is available to repeat a single track. If you have any other feature requests, feel free to reach out!
Finally soundcloud on watch working with 4G

Great app - note for the developer though, there are issues when trying to fetch/play track longer than 2 hours. I listen to long mixes and the app on watch doesn’t seem to fetch longer tracks and revert back to the previously played track. Not sure if it’s a bug or constraint with caching/buffering a long track. Be great if this was resolved. (Apple Watch ultra 2, max 4G signal, watch OS 11)

Thanks for your feedback, I'll look into adding this feature! 🕺💃

After latest update it works! Finally we can run and listen our lovely's sets without phone! Big thanks for this app. P.S. it would be nice if the whole app will be opensourced. I saw that sdk part is, but not the whole app :(
