This has been very helpful for moving a few files around (to different folders). It's also helped me use ringtones I normally wouldn't be able to because I've been able to move files around. (No write access to the ringtones folder though which has nothing to do with this app... It's Samsung's fault damn them!). Great work in this! Very helpful! Thank you. πŸ‘

Doesn't work on Samsung Galaxy Watch 42mm + One Plus 6 neither on Google Pixel. I bought the app based on the Overall Average review received but the Filesmaster companion app doesn't show on both of my phones even after successful installation. It does show in the setting/all Apps section but doesn't allow me to open the app.

This application is not working in gear fit 2 pro watch. The app is installing in phone but not in the watch. I have bought this app and used it for 6months, i think this is occured due to the update of samsung wearable app and samsung accesory service. This app is really good before, i used to use this app regularly. Please fix this as early as possible. #filesmaster

I have not been able to send files to my watch from my phone or from my PC using Bluetooth or IP. I will update this if I ever get it working.

Nur. H. Mar 8, 2020     

Worst thing ever. Wish i read the reviews. Can't transfer anything to your watch. Why are you still charging for an app and service that doesn't work. Clearly this is just stealing and should be held responsible. Awfulness.
