Ratings and reviews

Love this app! Edit: problem solved with their reply. Thank you. 😊 Only recently, the 30-second rewind button does nothing. It loads and then keeps going from where it left off. Also, i ask to 🙏 add the feature to make it rewind on its own for 30 seconds if it has been paused for over a certain amount of minutes. I use this in an audiobook app, and spotify, it helps a ton.

it is almost impossible to transfer large files or lots of files to the watch. I managed to transfer the files using another way to my watch. but the app refuses to keep sync between my manually transferred files and the files on the phone. it should be pretty easy to resolve. before actually transferring the files you just need to compare the md5 and no need to transfer the files again if the md5 matches, but still keep the link between the files.

The developer is picking up Google's slack and producing one of two podcasts apps that let you download podcasts to the watch. My only two annoyances: 1) It is impossible to load episodes of some podcasts that are too old. You'd think this would be a deal breaker, but I have no other options. 2) The dev certainly deserves compensation, I'd pay $5-$10 once, but I'm not paying per year to unlock arguably basic features. Even with the dev's substancial and appreciated efforts to update the app.
