SETUP: Complications
1. Install phone app
2. Open app to enable Notification Access
3. Add complication "Icon 1"..4 to your watch face
See https://bubble.dynalogix.eu/notification-icons-watch-face-complications/

SETUP: Bubble Clouds
1. Find "Notification Bubbles" section in Bubble Cloud app on phone
2. Install this theme/plugin to both phone and watch
3. Open "Status Bubbles" on the watch
4. You will get a prompt to enable Notification Access on phone
5. The notification bubbles should appear on your watch face

Setup is shown in video from 3:47 → http://youtu.be/S-A976Dcjpc?t=227

To get a watchface with the exact look of the video:
1. Install the plugin on the watch first
2. Install Bubble Cloud next
3. If Bubble Cloud finds a single theme installed it will set it up from the get go
It takes 82 seconds as shown in https://youtu.be/1RavyDzmGRE

(If you don't follow this install order, you can still get the same look, but you will have to use the menu command "1-click themes" to select the Status Bubbles theme, then long press some bubbles to move them away from the watch face)

USAGE ON WATCH
► Tap any notification bubble to expand
→ "Phone+Eye" button to open on phone
→ "Block" button to blacklist app (long press)
→ "Trash" button to dismiss notification on phone+watch
→ Tap an expanded notification to go back to the list
► Tap the overflow (+X) bubble to see full list of notifications
→ "Gear icon" at top of list to change settings
→ Swipe left to dismiss a notification (BLUE)
→ Swipe left to blacklist a persistent notification (RED)
→ "Clear filter" at bottom of list to see full list
→ "Dismiss all" at bottom (press and hold for 1 sec)
► Long press any notification bubble to change settings
→ Max number of status bubbles (they are added dynamically)
→ Option to show app icon when no active notifications
→ Open app on phone for more settings

SETTINGS ON PHONE
► See "Notification bubbles" section or tap on "Status bubbles" in the Wear Cloud Editor
→ Customize all colors
→ Options to override the theme colors
→ Some colors have transparency control!
→ Some colors come from theme by default, use override
→ Button to blacklist/whitelist screen
► "Funnel" icon in Wear Cloud Editor → black/whitelist directly
→ You can only blacklist apps on the watch ("Block" button)
→ Use "+" FAB to blacklist/whitelist phrases
→ Tap item to edit
→ Swipe left to remove apps/phrases from the list
App is very battery friendly, not running when not used

BLACKLIST/WHITELIST
► Whitelisting overrides black lists.
So if you have blacklisted an app, but its notification includes a whitelisted phrase it will still show up.
► Phrase filters are case insensitive
► Use leading and trailing spaces cleverly!
► Wildcards might come if requested

BACKUP/RESTORE
► Status bubble color settings are saved with Bubble Cloud backup

Email me if something is still not clear.

Ratings and reviews

This app (in combination with the Bubble Cloud Tile Launcher / Watchface) has taken my watch (Fossil Sport Smartwatch) from being not bad/somewhat frustrating to fantastic. I LOVE the ability to personalize so much, and the interactivity of the face, as well as the option to add this plug in to see and interact with live notifications on the face is so great. I played with it for a day (it does take some time/tutorial watching to figure out how to use) and happily spent the $5 for pro and the $2 for this notification plugin. The stock choices on the Wear OS system leave much to be desired - this app closes the gap admirably. There are some things I'm still figuring out and some capabilities I like to see added, but the app developer is super helpful and responsive to feedback, and there is a ton of helpful information and demos on the website.

This is a brilliant app. For me, it is now an essential app. I originally purchased a smart watch, because I was missing notifications on my phone. Recent changes to Wear OS mean that notifications on the watch can be easily missed too. With this app I get icons on the watch face to let me know if I have missed notifications, which app they were from, and how many there were. As I have a Bubble Cloud watch face, it integrates with that (same developer), so I can create replies too. My first smart watch was a Pebble. Not perfect, but the Pebble had creative, inventive developers who created a "buzz". I am feeling a similar buzz now for the first time with a Wear OS watch

Actually very useful app as many watch faces cannot show notification badges on their own. It is sad that many watch faces cannot handle this complication properly. For example, pixel minimal watch face doesn't remove notification icon and counter after the notification was dismissed.
