User Reviews

DynamicWatch Companion is praised for its excellent route planning, integration with Garmin devices, and detailed maps, making it highly suitable for hiking and outdoor navigation. However, users often face difficulties due to a complex sign-up process restricted to the website, app limitations without premium subscription, and the inability to directly import GPX files on Android. The app interface is considered clunky and less feature-rich compared to the web version, which detracts from user experience despite the strong core functionality.
Pros
  • Excellent route planning and navigation specifically for hiking and outdoor activities.
  • Integration and sync capabilities with Garmin devices and Strava.
  • Variety of map options including OpenStreetMap and Ordnance Survey maps.
  • Web interface offers extensive functionality for route creation and management.
  • Provides turn-by-turn navigation features missing in some Garmin watches.
Cons
  • The companion app is limited without a premium subscription and some features are hidden behind a paywall.
  • Sign-up and account creation is complicated and not possible within the app; only done via the website.
  • The app can be clunky, hard to navigate, and lacking in features compared to the website version.
  • No straightforward way to import GPX files directly from Android device to the app.
  • Lack of offline route creation and limited app functionality make it cumbersome for casual users.

I installed this app so I could import gpx files from my Android device. Unfortunately dynamicWatch doesn't show up as an app to share to. The app shows up as an option to "open with" but that doesn't seem to import the GPX file. At the moment, I have no way to import routes in Android. Nice to see my routes for offline access, though.

route planning on the go i.e. on a phone. a little fiddly but with a little practice it is great. still the best I have used.
