Ratings and reviews

It works. A little slow to respond and would like at pinch zoom on the phone app itself (I understand the stepped zoom on the watch controls). If there was a 1.5x zoom it'd be great. But this app really is the only option out there for Garmin watches. There are only like two other apps out there and they only offer a single shutter button with no zoom, light, timer, etc. So I'll take it.

It connects to Samsung 1 in 10 tries. Resolution is 480p for photo and video. What are the resolutions for paid photo and video please?

Very bad app. Do not install it to your phone and watch.
