Ratings and reviews

3 different app to connect a single smart watch!! This is unwanted and a thread to security. As we can manage everything in a single app: Just look at smart (really smart)TVs, AC and other devices, they just need a single app. I know this concern can be addressed, if you really care the user's reviews here. If you don't fix this unwanted application next time for sure people will not go for samsang smart products.

After updating, the app forgets that I have my galaxy watch connected to it. The app tells me to reset my watch, and lose my activity and steps data. The previous version of the application didn't had the best UI but this version doesn't have the functionality. PS: instaling the old apk fixed the issue. To Samsung: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

No issues on my OnePlus 7 Pro. I did see a few reviews complaining about battery drain, but I haven't experienced that. Shortly after installing this app and setting up my watch, there was a prompt to turn on some sort of "increased data sharing" between the watch and phone. I declined because it did warn of excessive phone battery drain. I'm guessing some people turned it on and that's why they're having issues.
