Gear Fit Messages

I read some reviews and decided to give this a shot. In the end I'm pretty unhappy I paid $1.99 for the app, I had to reset my device because the download has been sending me duplicate messages that I can't respond back to. It had a large lag time. I deleted it already off my phone because I don't think it's quite useful. I'm sorry but it's not as I had expected.

Hard to type a msg because it used old school buttons (where u have to hit same button 2-3 time to get the letter u want) and a most of the time it moves on to next space bfore I can get there letter I want, then I have to backspace and start all over again. On the plus side, of u pre-set ur own custom msgs in the app on ur phone then u can just tap on what u want to send easily.

So this is my updated review. As of 3/30. The text app is basic, it's not t9, it uses predictive text instead. Anyone that was around when t9 came out knows what the real t9 is. Predictive text is still okay. Still really hard to text long sentences/even short. It should already capitalize the beginning of your sentence.

I was a bit skeptical of buying this app at first. But it seems to work fine, especially for the small screen on the gear fit. I did experience the same screen lock up and bluetooth disconect that others talked about. However, after i put it in vertical view and took my time typing, i haven't had a single issue. It's nice to send a quick text from my wrist. It appears that the idea for typing a text is 'slow is smooth and smooth is fast'

I have the Gear Fit and a Samsung Note 5. I have had the connected app for a week. So far there have been no issues. I like how I can make changes to quick responses and predict text. Yes it stinks to have to to T9 text,but hey it's a small screen at least it gives you the option to make your own message.

I just purchased mine, and i already love it. I like more of the fact that when i am recieving a call i can glance at my watch rather than fish for my phone either in my pocket or in my holster so i can decide whether or not to answer And to quickly reply to a text thats important, its the Best :) i never thought i would like a gaget like this nearly as much as i do. It is Awesome ♡

Hi, this is a good app if it works. I just purchased it yesterday and it worked like a champ. Then today, I do receive my messages via the regular messaging app but not this one. Says no connection. Can you please correct or I will be asking for a refund. Thank you

PURCHASE AT YOUR OWN RISK! READ REVIEWS FIRST! I had ALL the issues everyone else had. Screen on fit freezing, issues typing, Bluetooth dropping, received some messages but not all, and it would restart my fit. All within the first day. And all issues I didn't have prior to install. (Forgot to mention I have the Gear fit not the fit2 and Samsung Note 4) Uninstalled the next day, emailed Google and Zero labs for refund. Google said they couldn't issue me a refund and to contact Zero labs. Emailed Zero labs twice NO response. Buyer beware.

If u take ur time when putting the text message in, its ok. I had it about a week now and had to shut down my phone and restart it 2 times. Sometimes the ok button gets stuck when ur ready to send ur message. I wish u could just speak into the gear fit watch and it type it for u, that would make this app a lot better!

It's a little annoying that you can't reply right when you get a notification of a text, but it's really helpful when I'm working to keep in touch with everyone. The quick replies are easy to set up and exactly what I wanted. I have the Gear Fit & Galaxy Note 4.

Such a handy app but since updating my samsung s7 and the app a few days ago it keeps crashing when i try to open on the gear fit watch... would really like also if it was compatible with the gear fit2 as i will now be using that.. please fix and update 😊

I love this app! Being able to respond and even compose text messages from my watch is very convenient! My only complaint is that the keyboard sometimes does not register my input. This makes it a chore at times to type out a message. However, when it works it is very easy and simple to use. 4 out of 5 stars for me. If you can fix the input recognition than a perfect 5 stars!!! Thanks for your hard work!

Only complaint is you can't respond to group messages and my family and I group text a lot. Kind of a let down

The ap installed quick and work. Little freeze sometimes when you use the keyboard. But finally its ok. For direct replying from received message I dont know if this Working

Does what it is suppose to do to, however, it would be even better if it had a "delete old message" option. Also, it would be great if the app would bring up the current message received instead of me trying to scroll through pages before seeing it. I have a Note 3. *** 4/14 Update - I see my "new" messages first now! YAY! Also, if I receive a single message viewed "vertically" (which is how I like mine set up) it gets cut off and can't be seen unless I switch it to "horizontal." Please fix. Thanks!

I have everything downloaded but can not figure out how to get it to work on my gear fit to send messages. Everything on my gear fit is exactly as it was on factory settings after downloading. How do I get it to b able to type messages n not just send quick texts.

I enjoy being able to text from my watch especially when I'm at work and can't have my actual phone out of visible. But I have a really hard time getting the ok delete etc buttons that are on the edges of the screen to acknowledge that I've pressed them. I don't know if this is lag bc sometimes it acts like I've hit them x# of times once it goes,or if it's the sensitivity of the watch touch screen

No setup. Says 'your phone dont have message application'. You should really put it up there that it doesnt work with Gearfit 2.

I love the idea of this but I HATE that anything I send on the watch does not show up on the watch or the phone anywhere. That bugs me more than anything. Please fix. Otherwise it is a very good little gear fit app.

Great idea but it let me send one text and now it wont open at all. Its a waste of money

Won't load my messages. I keep getting the error message that my mobile phone won't sync

I have the Note Edge and this app is the only one for my gear fit that is almost always unresponsive, says my Gear isn't connected to my phone when I'm receiving messages on it just fine. It's horrible I need my money back.

Doesn't work on gearfit 2. I know it doesn't say in the description but for those who have the gear fit 2 do not waste your money

Getting a message that there is not enough space on the device... Yet this is the first thing I have put on it.

I love it when it works but recently it pops up unable to connect to phone. I then have to turn off Bluetooth then turn it back on even the the unit itself shows its connected the whole time.

I just made the down load. And staring to under Stan how it work and the gear just capt teling devise disconnected and then it conecting and disconnecting. I was in a call and it just made me mad because I could not stay in the call.

It can get the job done if you don't have your cell on ya and you want to respond to another text.

Doesn't notify you when you receive a new txt. I get email and ph call alerts on my Fit - but absolutely nothing for txt messages. Absolutely useless. Wasted money.

Doesn't even work when you need it to and slow as hell. Waste of money if you ask me.
