User Reviews

Reviews are largely negative due to reliability problems. The most mentioned issues are unstable connectivity between phone and watch, weather updates not syncing after updates, and limited support on non-Samsung devices. Crashes, forced updates, and visibility problems further degrade experience. A minority of users still report the app as good when it works, but overall reliability is inconsistent.

Pros

Some users report the app becomes functional again after updates, indicating potential stability improvements.
There is a generally positive sentiment about the app when it works, with mentions like 'great' and 'nice' from several reviewers.

Cons

Unstable phone–watch connectivity: frequent disconnections, repeated re-pairing, and missed notifications.
Weather features fail to update or stop working after updates, with multiple reports of 'weather not updating' or 'weather stopped'.
Compatibility issues with non-Samsung devices: reports of incompatibility on Honor, Motorola, and Google Pixel devices.
Plugin crashes in the background, causing notifications and texts not to reach the watch.
App visibility/installation issues: icon not showing or app not visible in Play Store.
