  • App is broken

    App doesn’t work. After finding a watch face that I like, I hit the blue sync button but I jumps to safari and says "This website is trying to download a face for Apple watch. Do you want to allow this?" I hit Allow and then it says "Safari cannot download this file". I have restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Same results.

    Update- I have sent 3 emails and no valid responses on how to resolve the issue.
  • Great variety and affordable

    Great variety of watches, I love the variety of faces available along with the numbers of beautiful 4K resolution, photos and graphics, which you can customize on your Apple watches. I have the Apple series 6 and there’s an amazing amount available.
  • Best faces have a tendency not to update

    I REALLY wanted to give a higher review. I do think this is one of the best apps for watch faces. However, many of the coolest faces do not update appropriately.

    Note: I have an iWatch Series 7.

    I have followed all of the recommendations shown in their FAQs trying to get the problematic complications to update and still no joy.

    Give them a try but, if you have a problem with a complication, leave a review on the face page so that the developer is made aware and then remove the face.

    Better software testing would probably answer many of these issues.

    Seriously, if all of the faces worked, I would become a premium member for life. But for now, I’m just continuously disappointed, so I’ll just accept the free faces.
  • Lots of fun faces

    Easy to use and tons of free faces of every kind to choose from. I change my face frequently simply because I can. My only complaint is when you select a face it takes up to an hour to show up on your watch. Not sure why. I’m seeing lots of bad reviews on here all claiming this app has a lot of bugs but it seems as if that’s mostly the Apple Watch users. I have a Fossil watch and have no bugs at all. Another thing is it makes no sense to pay for the premium version when the free version has hundreds, or maybe even thousands of faces of every possible kind. Don’t waste your money on it.
  • Ok…

    I have found some pretty decent faces on this app. However, when I try to search, everything except what I’m searching for is displayed which is pretty frustrating and takes away from me using the app. What’s the point of the tags, if when I try to search, I get nothing relative to the tag. It’s a cool app but no way is premium worth $60.
  • Just ok

    I’ve had this app for quite a while now & it seems that with every update it gets a little worse. Most of the time the complications do not show up so you have to click on each complication & make sure the facer app is open so the complication can refresh. It only works 1/2 the time. The subscription price is too high for what they offer. You can build your own watch faces but only from the original platforms & designs that iwatch offers already. So someone creates a watch face & gives it to facer, for free, & then facer turns around & charges us for that very same face. I was even a Beta tester for facer & still there was only a small handful of designs that I could build off of. If your not on wifi forget about most of the complications working so basically your left with 1/2 a watch face that just won’t refresh. They’ve had the same free watch faces since I 1st joined this app & more & more of the watch faces are ending up under the premium side everyday. It’s not a bad app. It’s not a great app but I’d say it’s better than a majority of the watch face rip off apps that are available.

  • Misleading App Store description

    The description in the App Store says this product is free but with in-app purchases. But the free version does nearly nothing. So realistically this is a $5 app. Which is fine, and isn’t an unreasonable price if you want access to lots of watch faces. I just wanted to make a simple customized face though and the price seems high for that, so it would be nice if the app hadn’t wasted my time by falsely claiming to be free.
  • $60 a year? You’ve gotta be kidding me.

    The developers, who do you think you are to charge $60 a year for 2-3 developers product?
    Adobe Creative Cloud which employees thousands of developers is only a few times more. Aren’t you a bit too greedy?
    Your terms of service do not provision any refund for nonfunctional watch faces, but you still charge.
    I’m surprised no one noticing that, stay away from these people and their company. This garage business should not be supported at all.
  • It’s alright

    3 stars for:
    ⭐️I like that I can make my own faces, and customize it to my personal preferences.
    ⭐️ it’s relatively easy to use
    ⭐️I like that I can share my faces & see what others have created and use theirs as well
    HOWEVER, I don’t like that I’m paying for the premium service but can’t make my faces like some of the pro creators. It doesn’t give the option for it. The limited templates are getting boring.
  • Does not work with OS 8.7 (19U66)

    This app will not upload watch faces to my SE Apple watch, that is running watchOS 8.7 (19U66). When I try to download any watch face, or create new watch face from scratch. Even the simplest watch face. I get this error message. “This watch face is not available with your version watchOS.” This makes the app completely non-functional. Hopefully, this will be fixed with an update.

    Update: It now uploads after latest watchOS and Facer updates.
