FAQ/Notes:
1. Swipe up or down to switch cameras.
2. High battery consumption?
• After you finish using the app so that it closes completely and no longer consumes battery and stops using the phone's camera, you should close the app using the "Back" button (bottom on the Galaxy Watch), not the "Home" one (top on Galaxy Watch) which will allow the app to continue running but in the background.
3. Connection issue?
• Tap "Settings / Permissions" inside the Camera One app on the phone and follow the instructions.
• Try to uninstall the Camera One app from your phone, install it again, and grant all the permissions the app asks you to. And you should allow everything, not just some of the requested ones, in order for the app to work correctly; and do not change the default app settings, until you check.

Try Premium version for free during the trial period and Buy it later (inside the 'Camera One' app on your phone) when you check out all the functionality and are completely satisfied. If you have any issues, email me at [e-mail] and/or use Free version with limited functionality.

Ratings and reviews

Just installed it and so far it seems great! It isn't clear to me yet how to use as voice recorder or baby monitor, but the camera features are very useful. What will make it or break it for me is whether it eats phone battery or not with the application always running in the background. For my use cases it probably makes sense for me to enable the phone app when I want to use my watch to control the camera.

App loaded a page explaining how to get started, but nothing I did would allow me to continue after all of the instructions were completed. On the watch side, the message appears directing me to complete the setup on my phone. It has a free 1 hour trial. I imagine that they expect you to waste that hour trying to set it up. It's not worth the time, deleting now.

When tethered to camera, the only preview is on the watch. The phone screen just shows the open app. This is inconvenient as I cannot set up to see if everything is in view since my watch is a circle and I cannot see the edges. But, now the darn update does not let me just tap the watch, it wants it on my arm and registers my arm movements and keeps stopping the video. Freaking annoying. I am a teacher and am trying to make distance learning videos. This app is a total battery hog.
