Ratings and Reviews
App Has Improved, Now Usable
The app has vastly improved after launch, making it a viable and usable option now for many people.
I have a Gear S2, and now data syncs, connections and all happen very quickly in the expected timeframe.
All features work and can be easily accessed, and the Galaxy App Store experience has also been improved.
Major props to the developer team.
Now can we please have integration with Apple Health, for 5 full stars? ;)
Developer Response ,
Dear user,we are glad that you are enjoying your Samsung experience. We will pass your suggestion about Apple Health to the development team. Thank you!
Frequent disconnection from the phone
This app is quite buggy. Watch frequently disconnects from phone (like every 10 mins or less). Sometimes phone still shows it is connected, but watch displays disconnection icon. This is really annoying. Even after many iterations Samsung can’t bring in an app that is at par with Apple Watch. I tried everything like resetting watch, reinstalling app, disconnecting Bluetooth and all those fancy and funny tips and tricks given at Samsung community forum. In reality nothing works.
Developers - question to you. What is stopping you from bringing an app and hardware that works in tandem? We Apple users are not used to such erroneous app-hardware relations. Probably we are spoiled by Apple, but we just want this to work flawlessly.
Please refer to the community forum and there are millions of such complaints. Hope you are looking at that.
Developer Response ,
Dear user, we understand your frustration and apologize for the inconvenience. We develop only one aspect of the hardwares, i.e. your Wearable, which works flawlessly with Samsung phones. Due to compatibility limitations, there will be some aspects of the Wearable you won't enjoy in the iOS version. We will do our best to ensure you enjoy the most of what you can from your Galaxy Wearable, thank you.
Horrible connection issues
I would never recommend this watch to anyone, especially to ios users. The app keeps on disconnecting and connecting the watch all the time. The interface is slow and I am not being able to download any watch faces as the watch keeps on disconnecting before the watch face can even download. Extremely disappointed. The developer forums has tons of complaints agains ios and samsung watch issues but there are no further improvements and I have not even received any update from past 1 year. Also tried to get the beta updates but there seems to be absolutely no provision for that in ios. Why is the watch called smartwatch if half of its features are not working making it not smart anymore. Please help.
Developer Response ,
"Hi there, we are so sorry for the trouble. Please make sure there is connection between the Watch and the app. Try the following to resolve the issue:
1. Check your location and region settings. Please go to iOS settings→ General→ Language & Region.
2. Make sure your Watch is connected to your phone, and both your devices are connected to the Wi-Fi.
Please let us know how it goes, thank you."
