While the app works for me, I do NOT appreciate the notification bar ads in an app I had to pay for. I would rate much higher if not for the unwanted ads for other apps popping into my notification bar. I even blocked notifications for Navigator Companion and it came right back.
Everytime I update, it tells me I need to purchase the app again, and now on Christmas morning is sending me spam notifications about a great song identifying app. Done, SO DONE with this app. Oh and to to it all off, it was glitchy as hell and never stayed connected to my watch.
Have contacted the developer many times through email. I paid for the application on my original Gear Neo, I now have the Gear Sport and have to buy a different app. Why not let me have the application for my Gear Sport since I already bought it for the Neo a few years ago? I'm not buying it again. Rip off. The developer doesn't email back.
Bought the full version on Galaxy S2 gear and now it says it works on Galaxy Watch with a widget. Funny enough u have to pay again the full price. It doesn't workt until u repay them for the service which u already bought before.
This app is required for a paid app for the galaxy watch. However it's quite annoying to pay for the app on the watch while this required companion app has ads. Hence only 1 star.
this doesn't work. I want a refund. all I see is a yellow screen. it doesn't give you a heads up when a turn is coming up. this app is GARBAGE
Hi I like the app but it quits navigation after about 5 minutes. And I have to re-enter where I want to go on the phone. Any help?
Why android app have a ads? If I play for a app I expect it will be a ads free. The ads are very annoying!
*************MUST READ************** *************MUST READ************** By accepting terms and conditions you allow the app owner to full acces to your phones contents!!! They are even allowed to not only read but DELETE things off of your phone.
This app does not show anything in my watch screen... It's a Gear Fit2 Pro. I've tried everything.
would be better if you could add more than 3 way points. this limits the route to plan .
this is a messy app. most of the time, it wont connect to my gear s2. give me back my money!!
When it tells you when to turn, there's no forewarning "turn left now" not helpful on the freeway.
After some issues with smart watch connection, I managed to run it. This is nice app with great developer support.
It does not sync my navigator to my Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro.
Tried 3 times, after 5min the app shutdown on the phone...
unable using at Singapore map Navigator with not bus access.
I like the lite version, it's exactly what I need as biker
This app is fantastic best navigation app that I've used on my Samsung Galaxy S3 Watch
Bettter and better with each update
can't open settings
I bought the app but cannot download this portion
I Cannot Go on the app
Does the job
Finally works. Please stop the advertisement notifications! We already paid for the watch clock! Update: Sure, one may disable all notifications from this app, but this is particularly inconvenient, isn't it? Very disappointing - greed at its best...
Poor integration. Can't even get gear s3 to run app. Samsung needs to step up and write this app themselves.
No problems at all works great with mapping on phone instead of just arrows. Using a samsung 6+ edge with an S3 watch....haven't figured out the voice turn by turn but it's probably me.
It works well while the Sreen of my Note10+ is on. Somehow it is just like my Samsung galaxy watch active 2 get lost any signal when I put my phone in to my pocket. Definitely not a good choice for the running or cycling experience …… If I have to keep my phone navigation screen on , what is the function of the app for the smart watch !!!!!?
