Ratings and reviews

Works with Miband 3, just in a weird way, you need to toggle the silent on/off switch feature of the band to make it take picture. Because No dedicated camera function pop up in the band, Weird, but work. What's annoying is it keeps sending Chinese message notifications every time the capture command is sent... Why is that? Can the dev clarify if this is what he intended?

The idea is nice. And it can prove to be the poor person's camera remote control. Yet some larger apps already incorporate this functionality amongst others. Nice if you are only using the official Mi Fit app and still want the remote functionality.
