3 ★ I SOOO wanted to find this useful. It only half works. As someone else pointed out, it doesn't actually make all apps left-navigable. Some still stay the same orientation. I have a garmin watch and that actually lets you decide which wrist you want to wear the watch on and orients everything accordingly. It can't be this hard to make everything ambidextrous. Why doesn't google just do this for the OS in general?
5 ★ Easy to set up and works perfectly. I would press my crown button every few minutes, while driving or during other activities. I use this app to wear my watch upsidedown on left wrist still so I don't press the crown button by mistake. Works great thanks!
5 ★ Exactly what I've been looking for! This works flawlessly on my Fossil Sloan HR. I wish I installed it a long time ago!
3 ★ Just tried it on my Fossil Carlyle HR. It works. Kinda. Everything but the watch face was turned. The watchface is Twelveish. The other apps were right side up and they worked for the most part. I hope you continue to improve this!
2 ★ Does exactly what the native UI should do and works perfectly, but halves my battery life. It had to go. Really disappointed.
1 ★ Battery drain was ridiculous. Had to uninstall because brand new watch wouldn't hold a charge when this was running.
4 ★ Please invert the screen on/off gestures. The flip gestures still work as if its on my left hand. So when i turn my wrist to see my notification the screen turns off on me because it thinks i flipped my wrist backwards. Please fix!!
2 ★ I was really hopeful for this to work. It does what it says but the cost is a lower "frame rate" where scrolling through the watch's interface was no longer smooth and the battery drain was significant. Either of those two issues would keep me from using it. Hopefully they will get it working better or the function gets incorporated into the OS.
2 ★ Almost there. This is a feature that should definitely be baked in the OS, but here we are, patching the holes in the Android-land. Anyway, the app seems to work fine in most cases in my TicWatch Pro, except for two very important situations: 1 - the watchfaces are always upside down (in the "right way"), indenpendent of the maker; that also happens to the Wear Ambient Mode, but after some minutes(?) in that screen it gets to the intended direction. 2 - well well, the TicWatch Pro low power secondary screen is fixed, it can't be rotated. Thus, no reason at all to use it on the TicWatch Pro unless you get rid of that screen by enabling Ambient Mode - what seems counter-productive.
4 ★ it's not as good as being system native. but it's the best i could find. I had to turn off tilt to wake because it was not reversed. Neither where other wrist gestures, or the rotating button. But I am not complaining, these must need root access which an app can't access. The only real fix is for Google built this back into the system.
5 ★ Makes my Fossil watch wearable, on my right hand/wrist. Puts the buttons away from my hand so I don't hit the buttons as often
2 ★ Works as described but has some bizarre effects. Screen on time is set to 30 seconds and no other apps overwrites this... Very weird for this app to even change the default at all. gestures aren't flipped from what it seems so they don't work well without contorting your wrist in some strange ways. The concept is good but its side effects make it not worth using for me.
3 ★ App is good, but not great. To be great, please remove the notification that shows "lefty is running." on the watch. This to me is very annoying.
3 ★ Very nice, but needs to support: - switch outer two buttons (of three) - switch Tilt-to-wake and Tilt-to-sleep - Fit Breathe is upside down
3 ★ Somehow it dranis my fossil gen5 battery faster than it should, it doesnt invert the 'tilt to wake' gesture so it turns on the screen when you lay down the arm
