Don't waste your time! I've got a galaxy note 20 ultra and galaxy watch 4 classic. Both Brande new so it's got nothing to do with my side. When you first download it it will work and you can customize but after that it won't work. Either it says your watch is t connected or it won't re-sync any of the custome setting like photos or hand/time customizations. Seriously don't waste your money or time. This is absolutely the worst app I've ever downloaded and support team doesn't even respond.

Just terrible experience. Synchronizing the photos actually leaves them going black or blank. Everything kind of displays or refreshes really slowly. The paid version didn't do anything (no time on the watch face). I was unable to get refund within minutes of purchase because of a 3rd party?? I will never get a paid version of Samsung Galaxy watch companion and maybe Google play app. They should make it way way more simple to get a refund for a defective app.

Easy to use and works with no issues until recently when it stopped working with my fossil smartwatch and now it's telling me it's not supported. It's unfortunate because it was a really great app and I could load several pictures into my watch and change them out as needed. It really was a good customizable experience. Why the change?

The apps for the phone & watch are both fluid and easy to use. Fossil Exp 4. Works as described. Tap twice without holding to change your background photo quickly. I found this very useful and use this face often. I would like to have app bubbles like the Fossil app has, but sometimes it is nice to have it simple. When I upload a GIF the photo displays, but does not move. I looked through the setting thoroughly, but I may still be missing something as to how to fix this. Overall: satisfied.

Like it so far, I'd love some improvements. It would be great if the photo stayed instead of having to select every day. Also, randomly replaces my photo with a stock photo. I also wish the ok numbers could be color, size, and placement edited to work with more photos. The numbers are so small I can barely see them - I could make them larger if they could be placed by the user.

I've deleted my original msg wondering if this app is compatible with the "GalaxyWatch 4" For people with the Galaxy watch 4 YOU DO NOT NEED ANOTHER App to USE YOUR OWN PHOTOS!! Just simply go into "Watch Faces" & click "ALL" & Scroll down to "Photo+" Not only can you use any & ALL of your photos in your gallery, but you can also customize the background (which is your photo), but also the clock type & compositions (which are displayed around your image on the screen). HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL!!

Love the app, especially the stickers. I do wish there were more choices w the stickers however. Also it goes too often on the watchface to the page that shows all ur photo choices, and when it does, it is difficult to remove that page and go back to the individual pictures. Other than that little glitch, this is a fun watchface app! Really enjoy it!!!

It was great, till this last update. I've used this app for the last year i purchased the version when I first started using it and loved it! The ability to change the fonts, colors, time and date layouts and photos was amazing. Now imagine my surprise when all that was taken away after the last update. I tried to find help to resolve this issue on their "help" page but it wasn't any help at all. I don't understand why I'm being charged again after this last update. I'm very disappointed.

Great app. Very versatile and the options they give you are amazing. Though the biggest turn off for me, is even with the pro version, the transition is bad. To the point where my standard background for my watch shows up first, before the actual pictures I have. Causes the whole watch to feel sluggish and slow. Hopefully this gets fixed soon. As other apps don't have the issue with the background.

Suddenly will not allow me to select which of the 9 pictures to use. Galaxy Active2, message sent. It was a bug in Wear OS. I tried using another App and it would not work either. I had to do set the options as I thought should work, do a backup. I reboot worked so I did not have to do a reset and restore like I had to do on my Galaxy Watch before. Does the analog display version have second hand option as it appears. It would be useful for when washing my hands these days. I still would like to see the number of pictures double to be similar to other photowatch programs. You would have to learn how to program a scroll to a second set though. I do not know how much trouble that would be. I have only done PC programming. Nothing for devices. I am still learning that type of coding which appears to be almost like script then actual CPU commands.

I agree with everyone's frustration about the advertisement including features that aren't free. Total waste of time of you weren't expecting to spend money, feels like false advertising. After you spend too much money on it, it's okay. I wish you could save multiple faces. I hardly use the image swap feature for this reason. One watch face and color isn't going to work with every image.

The perfect app for customized photos on my Galaxy watch! I love the different options for the photo, font and placement of the time. I love being able to select a photo to coordinate with my outfit for the day. I have had many compliments. I had a small issue and the developer answered my question right away and supplied me with helpful information about the app. GREAT APP!!

I really like this app! I have the nine photos set to space photos and turned on Auto Cycle so every time I see my home screen, whether from lifting my wrist or swiping home there is a different space photo. I love it! The customizable text font and AOD is really nice. This app has replaced my stock watch face for when I want to show my style. It does not have options for showing steps or weather, which would be the only improvement I would add. I highly recommend the pro version of this app!

Almost perfect... still missing some customization features... like the battery. Battery is not sizable. The icon takes huge space, and is also poorly placed depending on where you decide to place your date/time. It also does not have icon with % inside, or % first then the icon. Lastly, Date/Time also needs a few more customization for digital placement. Everyone has different photos so I know it's hard to fit everyone's needs, but these should be general and the basic things for features.

One word: AMAZING !!! I have a Fossil gen 5 watch and a Samsung phone. I couldn't figure out how to set my own pictures on my watch face without logging into my social media (Facebook/Instagram). Glad I came across this app, I remember someone mentioning it on a YouTube video. You can choose 9 pics of your own on your phone using the photo wear app, it also has filters, brightness, contrast, etc. Pro version has more features, which I think its worth getting. Once its synced to the watch thru Bluetooth, you'll see the 9 photos you chose from your phone onto the watch itself, then you can pick one out of any of them as your main wallpaper cover for your smart watch.

All features locked behind a paywall. Do not recommend. UTA: This is not the only watch app that lets you use your own pics. I now use one simply called "Photos" that allows up to 30 pics and let's you customize the watchface layout for free. It does what I want it to, without all the other things that I don't need. But thanks for the response, Squeaky Dog Studios, even if you are mistaken.

I don't like how you have to select the picture to change it. It doesn't automatically cycle through them. All the customization options require the paid version. There's a free one that is already installed called photo. It cycles through the pictures every time you look at your watch, and you can have more than 9 pictures. Plus some customization options, all for free

Okay, wow, for free you get one album, a handful of fonts, and no app settings. The options to customize the clock seemed pretty nice, but then there's the other problem: I really wanted to just create one wallpaper at a time. An album of one photo. But the app wants you to load nine photos into every album, so it can show you the delightful grid of nine mini photos on your watch. Then you can select each photo as a closeup, customized watch face, but I just want one photo. Not an album.

The app is great. All the free options are pretty awesome. I get to choose between 9 different photos that I can change at anytime. I can customize fonts, colors and even placement to a certain degree... It's great! I guess the one thing I would recommend improving, would be the ability to specify the display position better, or allow precise positioning. Right now you only have 3 options: top, middle or bottom. Maybe even as just a pro option.

I paid $4.99 plus tax for pro. When I went to the settings that open up with pro version. I configured the settings to my liking and hit the arrows in a circle on the bottom right of the settings screen, to send the configured settings to my phone. And nothing happened. No changes to my watch. I can add pictures, but it won't send newly configured settings to my watch. I tried many times. So I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. Now I have lost my pro version and stuck on the free version.
