User Reviews

WatchIt! is a solid notifier for Sony wearables (SW2/SBH52) with strong device support and positive developer responsiveness. However, multiple reviews point to a learning curve, OS/device compatibility gaps, UI/UX polish issues, and overly complex filtering. Clearing history is also seen as tedious. The app is valued as a must-have for SW2 users but would benefit from clearer onboarding, broader compatibility, simpler settings, and an auto-clear feature to improve daily usability.

Pros

Mirrors phone notifications on the watch (SW2/SBH52), keeping you up to date with alerts.
Excellent compatibility with Sony SmartWatch 2 (SW2) and SBH52 across multiple reviews.
Regarded by users as a must-have app for Sony SW2 owners.
Responsive developer support with fast replies to questions and setup issues.

Cons

Compatibility issues with certain devices/OS versions (e.g., Metawatch, Android 5.1.1) causing intermittent failures.
Learning curve and unclear purpose—users struggle to understand how to use the app effectively.
UI/UX polish lacking: non-intuitive controls, outdated app icon, and some buttons (like clear) don’t always work.
Settings and filters are complex and hard to manage (deselecting apps, large block lists, etc.).
Clearing old notifications is cumbersome; users want auto-clear or easier bulk-clear options.
