Ratings and reviews

Constant problems. Repeatedly asks to allow permissions that are already granted. Only syncs a small fraction of my calendar events. Every update of this app breaks something on my watch. Every update on my phone breaks something on my watch. My watch is ONLY good for telling time right now until that breaks too. No weather. No calendar. No location/GPS. Hire serious engineers and make some actual software instead of more garbage bloatware. I would give 0 stars if I could.

App fails to open even after multiple restarts, installs or updates. It's been like this for a few months now. Samsung is really disappointing the Galaxy Watch users now. I am unable to connect my watch for a long time and at this point I having second thoughts of switching to different brand. And also, "Fixed the error"- what kind of software engineer writes a description like this? The error existing after a fix probably explains that.

Constantly disconnects and I have to reset my watch to go through the entire setup process all over again EVERY time. Absolutely ridiculous, I never had that issue with my Active 2 and this phone (Motorola Z stylus 2021). And on top of it, the backup doesn't even correctly restore the settings to what they were, so you have to start from scratch. Every. Single. Time.
