Ratings and reviews

I don't understand if it's this app or the Samsung accessories, but my galaxy watch 3 smartwatch keeps on disconnecting. Every 5 minutes 1 minutes off. And yes, the app is always running in the background, excluded from battery optimisation, locked (no possibility to close it even if I want) and so persistent, autostart option enabled, all other Android permissions set. Samsung=a continuous disaster after having paid hundreds of euro for a smartwatch..YOU WANT TO FORCE US TO BUY A SAMSUNG PHONE

It works, but it makes my phone almost unusable. It opens "sign in to Samsung account" screen ~20 times a day. It isn't a notification - it just throws this screen straight to your face. You write a message? "Log in, moron!". You fight a boss? BAM! You drive with navigation? "Guess where is your next turn!". Logging in doesn't change anything - it still does this. Generally speaking, opening the app to the front from the background service is a terrible UX idea, no matter if it's flawed or not.

I am not quite sure if it has to do with the plugin.. i would assume to a degree that it does.. But the weather widget for my location is nowhere close to accurate, the same city/state is selected, but the watch is telling me it is 3° out.. while virtually every other weather app and local news is reporting like 39°...
