| 2024-11-09 |  | | 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! |
| 2024-09-27 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-06-11 |  | | 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. |
| 2021-12-12 |  | | The idea of it is cool and it does work, but the process of taking photos is incredibly frustrating. The watch has to reconnect to the camera after every shot if you try and zoom in. If you have your phone on too much of an angle, the watch screen will keep trying to adjust to landscape or portrait. I also can't find a way to adjust the timer for more than 3 seconds. It's good but these tiny frustrations are really annoying. Plus it's rarely updated. Honestly feel like I wasted my money. |
| 2021-10-27 |  | | Completely awesome app you can control your phones camera via your smartwatch. You can control your flash, zoom,contrast, Sutter speed. You can set a timer then you and your significant other can both be in the picture without having to ask someone else to take you pictures. Great for vacations...you can just find something to prop your phone up on I would suggest purchasing a tripod they are portable and many come with hardware to mount your bigger camera's and mounts for your cell phones. |
| 2021-01-29 |  | | There is a major issue that it won't skip frames or reduce frame rate when there is lag, so if the Bluetooth connection isn't fast enough, the watch lags an ever increasing amount. I didn't count, but before my trial expired I think I got it to over 30 seconds of delay. Unusable that way. It should skip frames or send them slower when the delay is even 2 seconds in my opinion. |
| 2020-08-15 |  | | Currently, one star, as video files are 0 bytes (and thus unplayable) despite app on phone saying "Media saved to gallery". Used to work, but now I notice a blue spinning circle of death when recording videos. The same circle with "processing" underneath when taking photos. Photos never appear. With videos, the blue circle never disappears, until I hit stop. App purchases in Nov 2018. OnePlus 6, and now 7 Pro. App up to date on Samsung Galaxy watch. |
| 2020-08-11 |  | | I love the app, it’s very useful when you want to take portraits or just when you want a bigger screen. My only complaint is the last update. It killed the app :( I can’t connect and anytime I open the app it closes out on it own. Please help ??? Thanks! |
| 2020-07-18 |  | | I tried the trial version with my Samsung gear fit2 pro and Samsung galaxy note 3, I really liked so I paid for the full version. Now I can barely see an image on my band, everything looks green. I'm not sure what's going on but I'm very disappointed. I haven't uninstalled it because I paid for it and I'm hoping it'll just start working at some point. |
| 2020-06-21 |  | | This app works great, I use it along with my phone and a tripod to take videos of myself lifting weights to send to my personal trainer to make sure my form is good. It's very convenient to be able to start and stop the phone camera wherever I am, I previously had a Bluetooth device to do this but the Bluetooth on it was spotty at best. I appreciate that this app was a reasonable flat fee, because some other apps are a subscription and that's ridiculous for a camera app. |
