## Description

**Phone Launcher Tizen - Wear OS** enables seamless quick access to your phone applications directly from the Galaxy Watch, compatible with both Tizen and Wear OS devices. Users can add and select specific phone apps to display on their watch, helping to reduce loading times and enhance usability.

The extension features app sorting and selection tools, allowing for a personalized app list on your Galaxy Watch. Simply tap an app icon on the watch to instantly open the application on your connected phone.

## Review summary

Many users find that the app fails to open phone apps via the watch despite setup efforts. While some appreciate its potential and ease of use when functioning, the majority report it only opens apps on the phone rather than running them on the watch, reducing usefulness. Inconsistent functionality and lack of developer support frustrate users. The overall sentiment is that it needs technical fixes and interface improvements for reliable use.

### Pros

- Simple to use and set up (mentioned by a few users)
- Great potential to ease viewing phone apps via watch
- Near-instant app launching on phone when it works well
- Helpful for quickly opening phone apps from watch without picking up the phone

### Cons

- App often does not work or fails to open apps from watch on phone
- Only opens apps on phone from watch rather than running apps on watch itself
- Inconsistent performance; sometimes apps don't open at all
- Developer support is lacking, with no responses to user issues
- Interface is considered clunky and in need of update
