1 ★ Really wanted it to work. Followed all the directions and seemed like it was going to work. When I clicked take a photo on my watch it went to processing and then my phone went to settings. All permissions we're fine and it still didn't work. I will retry again another time and hopefully the bugs will be fixed.

4 ★ It works starts and stops. Cant change settings so its basicly auto settings and focus. Not a deal breaker what isnt so great is you have to stop your activities to use it so walk hike ect cant be used at the same time which is a shame because it wouldve been nice to take a photo at a view point start up your activity and continue but it cant do that and you would have to save then restart the activity so you lose back to start or it breaks up the stats. Also it only uses1 of the 2 front cameras

1 ★ Only connected less than 50% of time I try to use it. It disconnects if phone goes to sleep. Just too painful to turn Bluetooth on/off and restart watch, blah. And camera app would not focus or measure light correctly with remote. Cool for basic pics when it works but too flaky.

3 ★ The app works fine and easy to take a pic.....but it seems strange that i hv to close the camera app when i use the remote.....if the remote app can use with the camera app at the same time....it would be perfect....after all i hv to pay for this app....hope you guys can work on it and make improvements....cheers

2 ★ I am using Garmin Vivoactive3 music connected to my Moto G5+. I can control successfully but the pics clicked are completely black. I have rechecked the resolution settings and it's all set to high resolution. App is not helpful.

3 ★ It works on my vivoactive hr and lg v35q. It takes a photo without opening a photo app, which has its place. I do wish, however, that i could frame the photo first then take the photo.

5 ★ App worked as advertised. I installed software on Samsung Galaxy 8+ and Fenix 5X, I opened app on phone, opened widget on watch and took a remote picture multiple times. Some more work on this app could make it really fun...

4 ★ Works great with my Vivoactive 3 and Samsung G7 Active. Minor bug: it does sometimes get stuck on the "processing" message. But if so, just swipe it away and try again.

1 ★ using OnePlus 6 phone (android) and fenix 5S (watch). app can trigger the camera to start, in livepreview, but watch cant initiate a photo/recording to begin, it just shows 'processing' on the watch, so i got a refund.

1 ★ Won't work with Forerunner 935. I followed instructions to the "T." No luck. I really wanted this to work.

5 ★ Bit of fun, works well with preview. Using forerunner 235 or whatever it's called..

1 ★ Worked previously. Now completely broken. App just crashes. Pixel 2 and Fenix 5

5 ★ Seems to work fine with my Garmin watch & Pixel 3. I'm no longer jealous of iPhone/iWatch users!

5 ★ 11/14/18 update fixed it for Android 9. Welcome back!

1 ★ Followed all steps. Never connected.
