4 ★ Works just as advertised. Very pleased. Missed this app from my pebble days.
4 ★ Loved it on my pebble, now I love it on my wear os watch. Would be 5 stars if it supported hardware buttons if present though.
2 ★ Doesnt work with my app I have been using to paly music for years currently on my Note 8
1 ★ Strange, it did not appear on my wear device...
1 ★ Worked fairly well when I first downloaded it. As time went by and Android and Android Wear were updated it ceased to work with any kind of reliability or accuracy. Tried to reinstall it several times with the same results.
3 ★ Music Boss was my absolute favorite Pebble App. That made this an instant buy when I got a Wear watch. Unfortunately, this version is far less impressive or reliable than its pebble cousin that I liked so much. Part of that is due to some of the hardware limitations of Wear compared to Pebble. Wear watches do not have the same type of motion sensors embedded in them as a Pebble does, so the motion/gesture controls that I loved with pebble's app are not available here at all. Without that neat gimmick, all you have is a regular, passable media control app that, aside from adding limited voice control and bigger album art, doesn't really do much more than the stock controls that are already there. At times, it can be even more finicky, unresponsive and inconvenient to use than stock. It works fine with Netflix on Chromecast. Superbly, in fact. It even lets you use a right-swipe on the watch face to make video streams you're watching skip back 30 seconds. Really neat. With everything else, though, it falters and is hardly a worthy overall alternative to Wear's own stock media controls.
5 ★ This is an excellent application. It can turn your favorite applications on, switch Between them and control the music you play. I can confirm that it works well with DI.FM, Sound Cloud, Google play, Samsung play and more. Highly recommend.
4 ★ Does it have the shuffle option? I always shuffle my playlists (who doesn't?) and it can't be done from the watch menu?
5 ★ Works! Swiping to skip/rewind a song is a good idea
1 ★ I can't control my Joox
2 ★ Cut my Huawei Watch 1's (Android Wear 2.0) battery in half. Even force stopping the app from the apps menu did not improve it. Watch wouldn't make it seven hours with this app installed.
3 ★ Album art not showing up, tried on Google Play Music, Spotify & Apple Music
1 ★ Incredibly inconsistent. The app opens on its own when it wants to. The swipe feature is why I bought this, but if I still have to look at the watch to see if my swipes are working, it defeats the purpose. For 3 dollars, at least make a product that works.
5 ★ Excellent, high quality app. First and most important it works with all the players I tried - Media Monkey, Player Pro, Pandora and Spotify. It's fully configurable. I really like how the controls are implemented. The embedded tutorial (!) really helps, use it and you will love the app. Good job guys, congrats!
1 ★ This app does not find any music in my device, I have 2 downloaded albums on my moto 360 sport and it does not show anything. Not even has an option to search for music. This is a rip off.
