A decent app most of the time. I would expect it to be much cleaner and smoother coming from a tech giant like Samsung. A5 least it gets the job done most of the time. However, my biggest problem is that when it updates, I get a notification access error. When I go in to fix it, then ALL my notifications go away for other apps. This is the fourth time this year! I have to manually restart my phone from scratch in order to get everything to work again.

Like many others have said, the May 2019 update completely broke every "smart" feature of the watch. Completely useless. Now it's no more than a basic Fitbit, except that you have to charge it twice a day... That said, the Galaxy watch/gear apps have always been TERRIBLE. Awful, basically useless. Likewise the software written for the watches has also always been subpar at best. Much like the Galaxy phones, amazing hardware crippled by bloated and non-functional software.

It was working fine until the 5/30/19 update. I have an S2 and it no longer allows me to modify the apps which I got notifications for, it doesn't display info on the watch when it's connected (Battery/Storage/RAM), I can't change my watch face on the app, I can't manage, reorder, or uninstall anything. It's just a mess. I'm currently trying to find a way to rollback to a previous version. Update: I downloaded and installed a previous version of the Gear S plugin and it still does not work. I'm going to try an older version of the Wearable app now Update 2: Previous versions of the Wearable app and the Gear S plugin did not help. I'm running Android 9 on my Pixel. I guess my S2 and Gear Fit2 are now nothing more than expensive digital watches.
