Ratings and reviews

They've somehow managed the impossible and actually made things worse. I tried to connect my watch to my new phone and was met with a message saying it was no longer supported (S3 Frontier). Well, since they force you to disconnect from the old device and delete all of your data in order to pair the watch with a new one, and my old phone is broken, I now own a fancy paper weight that doesn't even function as a normal watch anymore. Thanks Samsung. The future looks great.

I am so close to deleting this app and getting rid of my watch. A pop up window asking me to log in to my account pops up every minute or so - sometimes more frequently - and it doesn't matter if you do log in or not, it doesn't stop. Tried clearing the cache, updating, allowing background data, etc but nothing stops it. It's invasive and infuriating and continually gets in the way of other things that I'm doing on my phone. (Android phone, fully updated)

Don't like that all devices, even old ones, show up in Find My, and there is no option to remove or rearrange them on the watch. These settings are available on my phone, but they don't transfer to the watch. I have to scroll through 10 devices tilo find the only one I use. Also, change the settings back so when you use find my, the ring is the first option is to ring device.
