Ratings and reviews

It's working great but drains the battery really fast, like 10% in 15 min. That makes it unusable and it's a shame. Please try to fix this issue. Thank you. ***Update info*** Indeed, the "energy saving" feature helped a lot. It still drains a bit more than I would like too but it's acceptable. 5 stars :)

App works great on Galaxy Gear 2 but drains its battery so quickly. I've enabled battery saver option on the app but that doesn't help much. App needs done improvements.

I just purchased this app, already installed on my fit2 pro. But my watch frequently show connection status when I driving. It's very annoyed, I can't refund. Please make this more stable, then I update to 5 stars.
