Ratings and reviews

This app is useless. I need to reconnect my watch to my phone manually every day and even when I open the app and try reconnect, it fails several times before it manages to reconnect.

My watch is only a few months old and has become virtually worthless with this awful app. It insists I must update to use it, but when I try it only gives the "uninstall" option. I've tried reinstalling several times and it does nothing. It is not communicating with my phone at all, not showing calls or texts. So now I just have a digital watch that needs to be charged every 36 hours. My kids' cheap knock-off watches from Amazon work far better.

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.
