App summary

Wrist Camera App lets you control and preview your phone camera remotely from your Samsung Watch or Android Wear OS Smart Watch! (Only works on Bluetooth connection)

To be honest, this app has the least amount of features compared to other apps on the market. That being said, it is by far the easiest to use.

⚠️ Important Disclaimer for WearOS Play Store: This app only works on watches paired with an Android phone. If you're installing this from Play Store on your watch, you must also install the companion app on your phone.

Doesn't work on Galaxy S24 Ultra. I try to pair a Pixel Watch 3 with my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra phone. The native app doesn't work. Someone has recommended this app as a good remote. However, I cannot get past by the permissions. I grant all of them and it says I permanently denied one and I need to reinstall. I see only 2 permissions required but it needs 3, and one doesn't appear, so I cannot approve it. Please fix the app!

It worked for about two weeks after i purchased it, worked well in fact. Now its stuck in a loop telling me to install on each device. Ive tried everything i could think of and had read, and now its still a useless waste of money. I tried to reach out for info to fix the app i paid for but have recieved no response. I did my part, in my opinion they didnt do theres. 09/26/24 now it says i permanently denied a permission, which i definitely didnt.

Get a pop-up telling me the app needs access to camera and microphone. Click on the button to grant permissions, immediately get another pop up telling me I've permanently denied a required permission and to reinstall the app. Manually granting all permissions gives the same result. Clearing app data does too. So does reinstalling the app.
