Ratings and reviews

The plugin, not app, constantly opens over other apps, often causing them to crash, or interrupt whatever I was doing in them. Additionally, what kind of release note is "fixed the problem"? I work in software, and my coworkers would not appreciate it if I put that in the commit messages, let alone in the release notes. I don't know what problem got fixed, clearly it wasn't this one.

Absolutely useless plug in that doesn't load and cannot be enabled. Try tapping "Enable" and after a few seconds you're back to the previous screen. I'm using a pixel pro with a Samsung Active 5 watch and a few days ago, it stopped being able to Find my phone from the watch. Tried enabling this plug in on my phone, but ran into the issue above. Absolutely appalling to find such a basic feature degrading on a Samsung device. Please fix!

This update will not allow installation of this app. I have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection on both my phone and watch. Now I get a constant pop-up that tells me I need to allow notifications. Notifications are ON for everything. Not one notification is denied. WEAR stays open in the background and makes other apps glitch or quit running. My watch battery life has dropped from 2.5 days down to 1 day. How can I fix this issue?
