Update: my main issue with the app has been fixed. Best and only alternative to Samsung's buggy media player for the watch and a lot more control over device. This is the best app for Wear OS

The best app to control your phone through your watch. I've been using this for around a year and can politely say this is one of the best apps I've used. I can easily create a Hotspot without having to pull out my phone from my pocket, I can turn off and on my Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Data, and my flashlight too!

I love this! I recently upgraded to a Galaxy Watch 8 Classic and since I had this app way back when I got my Watch 4 I remembered to install it. I love being able to control my phone and toggle settings via my watch. Another helpful feature too is the media controller when I play songs on my phone because it lets me like songs, see the queue etc.

Potential malware or spyware app that will take over your watch and is extremely difficult to remove from phone. Reported.

I loved this app. Even told friends about it. But after the latest update, it refuses to connect to my Pixel Watch. I have tried uninstalling and rebooting and everything. When I open the watch app again after uninstalling and reinstalling it says it's connected. But it's not. And the app on the phone refuses to reconnect. It's like there is old data I can't remove, and it is just now refusing to work.

After updating phone to Android 16, the app kinda stopped working. Can't turn on hotspot anymore and Wi-Fi/location toggles just open settings on phone.
