Review summary

User feedback is heavily negative overall, with frequent reports that the app fails on many wearables (Huawei, Amazfit, Garmin) and does not reliably launch or sync with Google Maps. Recurring complaints include a paid/subscription model that feels deceptive, plus privacy concerns over extensive permissions. UI/UX bugs are common—blank screens, missing maps, 'app isn’t installed' errors, and QR-code-only screens. Support is often described as poor or unresponsive. A minority praise the navigation feature when it functions.

Pros

Watch-based navigation directions are appreciated when the feature works.
Some reviewers report the navigation experience as good and usable.
The app is described as almost flawless with minor feature requests (e.g., total distance).
Navigation provides step-by-step guidance on the watch when functional.

Cons

Not working or unreliable across wearables (Huawei GT6 Pro, Amazfit T-Rex 3, Garmin Instinct 2) and auto-launch issues.
Requires a subscription/paywall; paid version often stops working and is perceived deceptive.
Privacy concerns due to extensive permissions and data access (risk of 2FA exposure).
Major UI/UX bugs: blank screens, missing maps, 'app isn't installed' errors, and QR-code-only screens.
Poor support and unresolved issues after payment; lack of timely fixes.

2026-06-24	R *****	only good for 10 MINUTES (that's right just 10 MINUTES) at a time without buying the full version. I would prefer, say a 2 or 3 full day trial to see if it is any good. For this limited 10 minutes at a time BS, I cannot test it and see if it will do what I want.

2026-06-13	Ev*****	Works well enough on a Garmin Instinct 3 Solar, though not perfectly tailored to that display resulting in elements being cut off. I gave the app 2 stars for the 2 dollar a year subscription for an app that just relays directions from your phone to your wrist. I bought the similar Nav.Me app for my pebble a decade ago for 2 dollars and it still works to this day and it's perfectly tailored to the pebble display. Give one time purchase of say 4-6 bucks and fix the display, 5 stars.

2026-02-15	Ив*****	Not working at all with Huawei watch GT6 Pro. After giving all the permissions, following all the troubleshooting advices and reinstalling the applications both on phone and watch, the app still gives the message "Please start a Maps navigation", even though Google maps is guiding me on the phone. This application definitely needs some serious bug fixing, or even general reconstruction, in order to function properly! Please, developer, do something soon!

2025-09-28	Mi*****	this is ridiculously useless and misleading. its a blank screen with only the next turn displayed. no map, no route graphic, no other metrics. worse still, it locks that screen with no swiping to the others(like your Map, Home screen or any other course/nav/stats screens)
