## Review summary

Users generally find the Skagen app functional and easy to use, with quick pairing on hybrid watches and overall decent quality. However, persistent issues dominate sentiment: Google Fit/Health Connect integration is broken or blocked, with Google security warnings; notifications frequently fail to appear; the app is prone to crashes and disconnects from the watch; and development appears stalled as watches are discontinued and updates dwindle. Expect reliability problems around health data syncing and push notifications, and consider alternatives if you rely on Google Fit or ongoing support.

### Pros

- Functional and generally reliable when syncing with the watch.
- Easy to use and efficient.
- Very quick pairing with hybrid watches.
- Good overall app quality and positive user sentiment.
- Helpful for fitness tracking and staying motivated.

### Cons

- Google Fit/Health Connect data sync issues and Google security warnings.
- Notifications not reliably delivered or not shown on the watch.
- Stability problems: frequent crashes and disconnects.
- Lack of ongoing updates / abandonment for discontinued watches.
