Ratings and reviews

Constant disconnects that require clearing data and resetting both the watch and the app. And after every restart, it prompts for permissions it already has, so need to turn them all off and back on. Sometime can get a day or so without a disconnect, sometimes it occurs every few minutes.

Every few weeks, my phone (LG V20) randomly disconnects from my Galaxy Watch4, and won't reconnect. I can manually connect my watch to "call audio" in bluetooth, but this app says it can't connect to my watch. I've tried disabling call audio, unpairing (which resets the watch and you lose all your data), rebooting phone and watch, turning off and on bluetooth on both devices.. nothing works. It gets in this "stuck" state. Restoring settings is incomplete. The default watch face sucks.

I think it's kinda poor that there are certain features and readings that don't happen on non Samsung phones. Also I had a really difficult time initially starting the device. The installation would stop and not progress further. Also, I cannot install new watch faces now because it says I have a "network problem" but my connections are working perfectly. I understand it's a new OS but I expected better from a "co developed" Google and Samsung OS.
