Love this app. Solved Notification issues for me. I get all my notifications in one place, I can see historical messages in conversation when I couldn't before, I can see all my contacts if I want to send messages from the watch, and BEST OF ALL, for the pittance you have to pay for 'Pro' (less than a cup of coffee) I can set Vibration patterns for individual conversations or globally, either with preset patterns or by 'tapping' a custom pattern. Why do people spend hundreds on technology and hesitate to spend pocket change on something good? And if it doesn't work for you ( we know what Android is like) then you get a refund. Make sure you set Notifications correctly in your Wear OS app on your phone and you shouldn't have issues. Note that you need to enable this app "Wear Messages" and potentially disable notifications from other apps if you get duplicated notifications.

This app works great. What people don't understand about it is that you have to have your default texting app (I use Textra) on your phone as well to receive messages through Wear Messages. Once I figured that out it worked just fine. Although, I will say that this wasn't explained with the app, I had to figure it out by trial and error.

since recent upgrade I have not received text messages nor phone calls or voicemail alerts to my fossil smartwatch; only receive emails and calendar notifications... sooooooooo disappointed upgrades disable many of the functions I enjoy and enhance my daily activities. !!!!UPDATE!!!! I have uninstalled and re installed three times as well as communicated with app support. I've received one email requesting system information and replied. No reply from support. No texts to my watch continues:(

when it works it's fine, but it seems very flaky and prone to randomly losing connection snd sync to the phone. the settings for repairing this easily are hopeless. I've ended up having to clear storage and cache on the phone then uninstalling from both devices snd starting from scratch, sometimes it takes a few attempts to successfully do it.

Love the app, just wish there was a shift key for the keyboard. Thanks for the suggestion but your keyboard is difficult to use and doesn't allow for swyping which I find to be the quickest way to compose a text. Also, this app causes a conflict with the stock keyboard so sometimes when you compose a text and then go to review it, everything you just typed/swyped isn't there and you have to do it all over again. Considering uninstalling app.

Notifications are super slow to the watch, if they show up at all. Android abandoned smart watches and everything is a pain to try to sync with them. I am certainly not paying another dime into a half baked os. This app could be a hero but between the ads and hardly any options on the lite version I believe I'll just uninstall and stop wasting my time on yet another failed messaging app for a failed os. Not totally the apps fault. I also blame android!

UPGRADE. HEY UPGRADE. BUSY? --HAVE YOU CONSIDERED UPGRADING? The app freezes, doesn't connect to WhatsApp or Hangouts (or it doesn't show the messages), and it's constantly prompting to upgrade to the "full version" that allows you to do things like removing the preloaded signature on text messages. Don't waste your time.

This app works great on Oreo. After moving to Android Pie on the OnePlus 6 I no longer receive notifications for WhatsApp or Allo. I am not sure if it's a pie issue or a app issue. I've tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling clearing cache a checking permissions still can't receive even a notification. Paid for the full version thinking maybe that was it. Any help or ideas?

I paid for this in order to have access to the Gmail part of the app, which is supposed to work on Wear 2......BUT it does not work on my fully updated Falster 3. All I get is a message stating that it's incompatible. The upgrade to the app didn't cost much because it was on offer at the time, but things like this are annoying. I've contacted support but had no reply as of today. I will update this if I get a response.

Installed on my phone OK but no option to install on watch. Tried paying for the full version of the app ending in the same result. I had this installed on my partners watch about 2 month ago and now it appears everyone is facing thr same problem now who want to install it. The developer for this app needs to address this issue and fix it

The app itself works great, the problem I have is that I am using Textra messaging app and it seems I am only able to get double notifications or none at all. If i disable Textra from sending notifications to my watch, wear messages seems to also be affected, where as if i enable Textra to send notifications to my watch then this app will work fine, however I am getting double the notification for text messages. The compatibility with Textra seems to be funky but the app itself works fine and is easy to use.

The Wear OS app is no longer available. I recently reset my watch only to find that I could no longer download the Wear OS version of the app. The whole point of this app is to get WhatsApp, Signal, etc. messages on your watch. Developers need to get the Wear OS version back on the app store or there is no point in the Android app existing.

No vibration feedback after a week. Alerts still come through with sound enabled but not when silent with vibrate enabled. Purchased the full suite of apps so I can use email as well as calendar but they also do not alert me when sound is disabled. Avoid these apps and do not purchase if you value your money. Submitted a support ticket and never heard anything back.

Paid for the upgraded version and phone is saying to uninstall as it is infected.... Please update so I can reinstall Edit: I have sinse heard back from the developers and the bug/issue has been fixed. Had a very professional and detailed response from them. My only wish now is that I can send WhatsApp messages being initiated by myself and not just replies which is currently the only option

This app breaks your smart watch! For God's sake don't install it! I used to get push notifications on my watch when I got a WhatsApp message, I downloaded this app so I could read the entire message and it worked fine for a week or two, then it stopped working but also stopped the push notifications coming through too. This is the whole reason I bought a smart watch, so I could read messages without having to get out my phone and this app ruined it, so that's a £200 watch trashed by this app.

App not listed on play store when trying to find it on the play store app on Samsung Galaxy classic 4 so I can't download load it to my watch. It is on the play store which is installed on my phone. I have noticed that loads of other people are having the same problem as me, but the company who make this app, have not yet replied to anyone who has this problem.

I paid for the full version, it doesn't work on my ZTE Quartz, keeps telling me I have to wait for an incoming WhatsApp message to arrive in order to write to anyone. Notification sounds doesn't work all the time, it keeps muting randomly. I want a refund ASAP. STILL WAITING FOR MY REFUND I DID SEND YOU AN EMAIL! NO ANSWER WHAT SO EVER! BE CAREFUL WITH THIS APP!

When i recieve a new message now, it doesn't pop up on the screen like previous, and if i receive multiple messages, i dont see them in a conversation like previous. Im on Android 9 and i know the app was having trobles with this but the latest update was supposed to address this ...

Installed this today to try to fix a problem with Verizon Message+ no longer working with the latest wear software. This app works well for individual messages but I am not getting group message texts to my watch. It's a LG Urbane (original) and a Galaxy Note 8 phone.

would be 4 stars except messages sent from the watch don't appear in regular messaging apps, so you'll have to remember what you sent people. Another star is lost from not being able to get rid of the automatic signature.

Jam. W. Dec 4, 2018     

Although the app "works", when it sends a text message no other app or even itself remembers that it's been sent. It's as if it's deleted after being sent. If you can fix that, it's worth 5 stars but in its current state it's not worth using sadly

ajd. Dec 18, 2018     

so i bought the flat rates for all the apps a year ago. now i haven't used them in a while so I uninstall it then reinstalled the app because i feel updating waists storage. Now i need to buy the flat rate again! I bought it before! I'm not buying it again! I tried linking my account but it didnt work. There needs to be a restore purchases option! and this goes for all the other apps too

wen. j. S. Apr 30, 2019     

it workes perfectly the first weeks. Now I can only see the messages, when I click the mic it goes back to the message. Very upsetting. I was really happy with this app

Mis. M. Sep 16, 2019     

my messages don't pop up on my screen. this is even after purchasing the full version. please fix or refund. It would be a huge five stars for me if this was fixed. Also, I can't the black only background and it's hard to read.
