Ratings and reviews

Galaxy Watch here. I originally tried the navigation app that stored on the watch and allowed you to search etc and have offline maps directly on the watch. I did not like this approach at all. I do not need to see the map on my arm as the screen is honestly to small for this. As i always have my phone close at hand and all i wanted was the popups telling me when to turn and distances etc which this does perfectly. I used this extensively when walking around towns in Europe and cycling in Amsterdam where you set walk or cycle in google maps and the watch happily says turn right in 100 meters etc. The only reason i cannot 5 star the app is my watch periodically shows the screen Waiting for Google Maps in phone/tablet when honestly i do not even have google maps running on my phone. This happens sitting at my desk and at the oddest of times. At least 3 to 5 times a day for no reason. It is a simple click to go back to the main screen of the watch but i should not have to do this. If this was fixed its a very easy 5 stars until then 4 stars will have to do because the annoyance factor of this bug is growing daily.

Used it a few times and worked great. Only thing was that it showed a small icon on my watch face "waiting for instructions" or something like that when I wasn't using it. Reinstalled it now and the buggy icon seems to be disappeared. Honestly i'm surprised w/ how good to app actually works. Thank you, devs!

Doesn't work. Just get a message saying "get Navigation phone app from gallery." Downloaded from the App store but won't connect to the watch because "It is necessary to install additional Samsung Accessory Library to use this application" but no clue as to what or how. Try Petal Maps instead. Response to developer response: I'm not an idiot and I've installed it from both Huawei app store and Google Play. The instructions are no help, it doesn't work with Huawei watch and Samsung phone.
