User reviews

Very disappointed with Galaxy software and Samsung. This is my second Watch 6. I thought the first one had problems with the Samsung provided watch faces not working right especially with the calendar complication. I think it is the lousy software! Only 1 watch face, Info Board, would properly connect to Google calendar, even after an hour with Samsung tech support (useless). Now, after the One UI 6.0 update, even that watch face doesn't work right, and the watch runs slower!

Loved my galaxy watch so much until they changed the app to get watch faces. Used to be through samsung now it's through google play. The selection is minimal and favorable developers are no longer available. It's difficult just to find a decent watch face now. We should be able to choose a watch face through either platform especially since it's a samsung and samsung has it's own app store. Personally dislike google and don't want much to do with them, forcing people to have to use them...

Idk what was done recently to this app but Samsung needs to undo it, immediately! I have 2 separate watches that are BOTH charging and losing the charge at abnormally weird, and excessive rates. Also, I can't connect EITHER watch to the app; and the watch that's on a network (when it's not stuck in a loading loop or, a black screen) is getting an error msg about the Sim card being removed😤 I've reset the network settings & rebooted the watch several times. Please fix your glitch😓
