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!

Love this app. Also, unique quirk for setting up the pixel watch. It appears, and you have to set up this app before you set up the watch and the pixel watch app. While the watches still in the setup phase showing the phone in the watch icons, that is when you go into this app and pair it with the watch then and only then can you set up your pixel watch as usual. Otherwise, this app will not find your watch.

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.

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.

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