Nav Explorer - Wear OS Wireless File Transfer
I would like to keep adding features so please let me know of any ideas you would like to see added to the app.
*It is likely you will only be able to listen to videos as most Android Wear apps do not make the necessary codecs available.
If your older watch transfer is not working or your watch does not have the Play Store, you can get the apk here. Keep in mind this may not be able to sync with the app if sideloaded so a third party FTP client may be needed: http://turndapage.com/navexplorer-support/

Love the app, I was only searching for a convenient way to change my watch background (via a complication). With the ability to send files to manage the files already on my watch, this app does what I need and more. My only gripe is with the inability to sort the files by date modified. This would make sending the most recently downloaded wallpaper all that much more convenient. Thanks!
The UI is a little clunky, but not really an issue. This is basically the ONLY, non ridiculous way of actually getting files on to these watches. Considering these things are made, to store files such as music and pictures, and give plenty of options for playing/displaying them, it is insane that they come with absolutely no native method of actually transferring anything to them lol. This app sorts that right out. It shouldn't be needed, but it is, and basically neccesary,
The app was working just fine the last time I tried to transfer files on my OPPO 46mm watch. Being really impressed with your apps, I purchased navmusic, after that, when I tried to transfer files, it just won't connect to the watch, no matter what FTP client I use. I also sent an email with debug log stack, haven't received any response. Really disappointed.
Fantastic app for transferring files to a watch. I have nav music, and will probably also buy nav podcast soon. The developer is very helpful and has helped me out, an update was ready for down load the same day I reported an issue. The app works fine, I can't believe Google haven't built this facility into the operating system as standard. Trying to force a Google music subscription I guess.
Thank you - i was having so much trouble transferring long audio files using another App's synch feature. Your App is a clever bit of kit and did the job! I was really impressed with the fact I could see my Huawei Watch 2 files on my Phone. It didn't take me long to work out what I was meant to do to transfer them.
App works very well to transfer music files from my LG V30 to my android watch. Paid for the full version of NavMusic for my watch which Al's works great. Only on (big) issue: the Navexplorer app on my phone launches itself often and randomly, and in particular when I receive an incoming phone call. Very frustrating.
Sent email. Got no reply. Trying this route. I've been trying to use the app with no success. Watch is MK Bradshaw, mobile is galaxy tab A (10.1) on android 8.1 Bluetooth turned off on watch and connecting with wifi. No problem connecting. Tried the dual pane in the app. All appears to be working but no copy ever done. No error ever given. Tried dual pane in xplore. Xplore connects but reports... Guest user not allowed to use that command.
Great app for file management between wearbles and phones. But I mistakenly wiped off my phone data because the navigation buttons were not clear to me. Did not even recognize that files on my phone were highlighted when I tried to delete file from the watch. Please it would be nice that some caution is raised in the app for delete operation.
This is the most incredibly fantastic app ever. It's unbelievably fast and very easy to understand. It's packed with features, to boot. It's not the most visually pleasing on the phone side, but that doesn't impact it's usability at all.
This file explorer is wonderful! It makes file management so much easier. And to make things much better, it has root access if you are rooted. It's almost like the Mixplorer for WearOS. Here take my money. Thank you for creating this app
I can create folders on the ticwatch pro 3 and copy files from the watch to my phone but cannot edit files or copy files back to the watch. I tried Bluetooth and wifi. Can't paste files with a computer either from the ftp server
I was able to transfer music to my falster 3 using this app. I appreciate that I was able to do this because I was left high and dry after google play music was removed. The app works great, thanks
Google left us high and dry for music by retiring Play. I dusted off my 15+ year iPod and this app let me transfer them easily from my PC via FTP to my watch. Thanks for keeping my Wear OS from becoming a paper weight!
I hesitate to give this app a bad review as I am not sure I have something wrong. I am connected to the Wear app. NavMusic works but I cannot connect either by wifi or bluetooth to NavExplorer. Moto 360 Gen2 watch. Any suggestions?
notworking. I copy and paste but nothing happens to my watch.... I just figured out. The app on watch works. It launches a ftp service. I use another file explorer that supports ftp. It worka eventually.
Works as advertised now but I've had some problems getting it to work for the first time because my watch wouldn't connect to the phone for some reason. I'll probably update my review as I use this app some more.
Hi, wasn't able to connect to ticwatch S on multiple wifi networks both personal and corporate with ports open.
It didn't find or connect to my Sony SW3, I hate to give 2 stars because i know there's hard work on every app on play store, if i could get some feedback and eventually some tip i'll try again ;)
Very good, can transfer mp3 from phone to watch, or if you are familiar with ftp, from computer to watch.
It doesn't show files on phone storage, just folders. I couldn't do any transfers ever.
How and when does the folder sync automatically? Coudnt figure out. Or the sync is just not working for me. Plz help.
Quickest and easiest way to transfer files from mobile to smartwatch. Superb.
It does send files as it says from internal memory but It does not see the SD card on Galaxay A50 which is where my music and ausio books live. So its useless for me.
Will not connect my S21 ultra with my galaxy 4 classic LTE watch. Wifi and bt working fine for other purposes.
wont connect, my watch is synched to my phone by Bluetooth but the app does not see it and it just keep on scanning
The best app for transfer music via FTP Wi-Fi to play songs on the watch the Best app
Doesn't allow transferring from memory card in the phone, only from phone's internal storage.
Useful app. Doesn't connect via wifi, even manually but Bluetooth connects instantly. I was able to play video on the Samsung Watch 4 Classic. When the video starts there is a skip forward and back button along with timeline to jump instantly but after a few seconds it fades away. I can't get it to come back without exiting and starting the video over. Still 5 stars.
