### 3/5 — Good but no watch faces supported for the blip 3 pro

*2022-12-23, version 1.2.14*

I really want some customized watch faces that have its supporting for the blip three pro because I have one in some of the settings and watch faces. Do not want to work. It would be lovely if it supports blip 3 pro.

### 2/5 — Sync Issues

*2022-04-21, version 1.2.11*

Downloaded this app because the Strava sync wasn’t working on the regular Zepp app. Was able to link my strava in this app, but the app crashes every single time I hit sync to syncy bike rides and runs. If you get that fixed I’d be very happy!

### 4/5 — Tony

*2021-07-16, version 1.2.8*

Great app just can’t get some of watch faces from 24 hour to 12 hour

### 4/5 — Not Compatible

*2021-03-26, version 1.2.5*

I was so happy when I found this app. I saw a dial that I loved; went to download it, “File not compatible with your device.” 😔 please make this app compatible with the Amazfit GTS 2e. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Nice but korean language doesn't work

*2020-06-25, version 1.1.8*

I like that you can change faces but I installed this because I wanted to change to korean language but it didn't work.

### 2/5 — Great for watchface, bad for activity

*2020-03-30, version 1.1.5*

Awesome app for getting new watch faces for iPhone users, but the worst when it comes to syncing sports activity. The main reason I have the watch and use this app is to track my runs so they can sync to strava. Unfortunately it takes anywhere from 5-50 attempts of syncing activity from the watch to the amaztools app for it to actually work, 99% if the time it says “pending”, “synced successfully” (when it hasn’t) or “fetching heart rate data” indefinitely. Used to work every time but the newer updates have gotten worse and worse.

### 2/5 — No GTS watchfaces

*2020-02-21, version 1.1.3*

When I search for watch faces it says "no watch face found". I checked the version history of the app and it mentions support for GTS watch faces several times. Is this still a work in progress, or should I be seeing watch faces?

### 3/5 — No Arabic language support

*2019-12-19, version 1.0.7*

The Arabic language support (which already exists ) would give out a Chinese language !!! 
Please fix this . 
Please do your best to make changing font available for iPhone . 
Thank you so much!

### 3/5 — Does NOT support Resting HR Sync

*2019-12-10, version 1.0.7*

Hi,

Thanks for creating this useful app. I really really really wish that this would sync Resting HR and Heart Rate Variability to Apple Health as well. 

That would really make this app a 5-star candidate! Thanks!!!

### 2/5 — PLEASE FIX ASAP

*2019-09-24, version 1.0*

I love this app but after the new update it stays in syncing my activities permanently, it just says preparing for ever and it won’t sync my runs, this is the only app that can sync it to Strava so I really hope it gets up and running soon! Please get this fixed

### 4/5 — Only three watches supported

*2019-09-18, version 1.0*

The watch I have is the Amazfit verge lite and it’s not supported I wish it was supported please make that happen

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2019-09-03, version 0.2.12*

Please add arabic for amazfit bip and bip lite .. because my phone and watch  arabic language and when i join amaztools app my watch change to wrong language  .. please help ..  theres new update support arabic for amazfit bip/biplite  in mi fit app .. 

 

..

### 2/5 — Broken after update for Amazfit GTR

*2019-08-31, version 0.2.12*

Unfortunately, it became unusable since recent upgrade. It does recognize the GTR watch but does not allow to install new faces from webpage. Used to work fine before. If yours work fine, DO NOT UPGRADE. Will post again upon fix. GTR is a great smart watch but limited without this app working.

### 3/5 — Open your eyes Bip!

*2019-08-24, version 0.2.11*

Guaranteed more sales if you update to 12 hour format and Americanize the language as well! Just sayin’! Happy customers ! Better reviews! Very close to returning this watch !

### 1/5 — Can very easily brick your device

*2020-09-30, version 1.2*

If you accidentally attempt to load a Bip S watchface onto the Bip, it can render your Bip totally unusable. This includes when clicking on a watchface linked from another app or website that may not be labeled appropriately. No warnings about incompatibility or that you’re attempting to load a watchface for an unsupported device —the screen will simply turn off and there currently isn’t a way to get it back on or even reset the device. This happened to my device and I’ve subsequently read similar reports from others. Really, use at your own risk. 

If the devs can manage a restore or reset fix, I’ll update the review and rating. The app was fine prior to ruining the device—I just can’t believe how little it took to render it completely unusable.

### 1/5 — Sport sync not working

*2020-05-24, version 1.1.7*

The only reason I downloaded was because I heard you can sync sports activity from here to strava. However, every time I try to sync, it says sync successfully but nothing is uploaded. It tracks the correct information on the first tab (steps, calories, distance) but doesn’t say there is anything for sport activity. Useless app!

### 1/5 — Sport activity no longer syncs

*2019-09-27, version 1.0.2*

This is still an issue after the most recent v1.0.2. The app is seeing the watch (Bip) but will not sync sport activity. App just sits in a preparing loop. This is disappointing since it’s the only reason I use this app and it was working great before the iOS 13 update. FIX THIS. 

Been having issues since the latest update with syncing sport activities. Can not get new sport activities to sync no matter what I try. This is a step backwards from the last release. Sport activity syncing to strava is the only reason I use this app, if it’s not fixed soon I’ll stop using both the app and the watch.

### 1/5 — Sports sync to Strava stopped working (Bip)

*2019-09-24, version 1.0*

Ouch. My watch is almost useless now. 
How can I install a past version?
Please fix, otherwise the Bip becomes useless. 

When I try to sync to Strava it just waits, and waits, and waits.  This used to work in about :30 seconds to sync. Now it either doesn’t work or takes upwards of 5+ minutes. Very frustrating. 

Is there any other app that will sync to Strava?

Developer, if you are reading this please help!  All my data is on Strava for comparison and analysis, literally 1,000s of miles of running recorded with this watch for multiple marathons. Now I cannot log my running data to Strava and I will need to buy a new watch of that is the case. Again please help. My running sanity and continuity depends on it!

Thanks

### 1/5 — Cannot locate my bip lite

*2019-08-14, version 0.2.8*

Keeps searching and searching even though the watch is beside. Tried reinstalling and it’s still the same. First time I had it connected to my bip lite but all watch faces as not able to install. Keeps showing error. iOS 12.1.3 iPhone 7. Bip lite with latest firmware. Please look into this matter 😢

### 1/5 — Sometimes not worth the hassle

*2019-08-10, version 0.2.8*

Since the new update, the app crashes constantly and now my watch won’t connect! Sometimes this watch isn’t worth the hassle to keep it working right!!! Everytime it starts working right...another update to mess it up again!!!

### 1/5 — Terrible app and terrible watch

*2019-06-21, version 0.2.2*

The app doesn't sync with the watch like it should.  Sometimes it will but about 90% of the time it says it is syncing but doesn't do it.  It tries to sync for half an hour but never does.  Crappy watch.  Crappy app.  Do not waste your money on the watch.  Spend a little bit more money and buy a quit smart watch that works.

### 1/5 — Privacy Question

*2019-03-29, version 0.2.0*

You state that this app may use your location even while not open, which may decrease battery life. Why does your app use my location when the app is closed?  How are you using my location?

### 1/5 — Having a hard time to pair with my watch

*2018-12-11, version 0.1.17*

I’m having a hard time to pair the watch & this apps. It says the bluetooth is off, but it’s on. I tried to contact the developer, even send some screen shots & no reply *sigh :( I guess I’m stuck with mi fit apps

### 1/5 — Horrible for Americans using ios

*2018-11-29, version 0.1.17*

My biggest issue, is 99% of the watch faces are not American. Why do i have the option to change metric to imperial and C° to F°, but it doesn't change the watch face to my preferences. There's no ability to change the watch faces. Everything is in celcius or the days of the week are different languages.. Anyone else having issues getting American watch faces on ios??? Please fix or update how to do it.. So frustrating.. I came from Garmin connect and the watch faces are similar but can easily be changed.. Shouldn't be that hard!!

**Developer response:** Hi, i’m sorry but this is a problem of the watchfaces. You should install an American watchface which supports F

### 5/5 — AmazTools is Amazing

*2021-11-10, version 1.2.11*

Nobody, and I mean nobody, works harder to keep we AmazFit/Zepp/Mi users going than this developer. The time invested in working around the authentication token (for my Mi Band 6), has to be a LOT. And, though iOS doesn't give us the flexibility to do some of what we need, that's easily enough addressed by using an A_____d device. If not for AmazTools, I'd be without the option to use tons of watch faces. A huge thank you to the developer!

### 5/5 — Works GREAT for installing custom watch faces

*2021-09-15, version 1.2.10*

Loved this app when I had GTS. I now have GTS2 the latest version installs watch faces I’ve made very well. GREAT TOOL!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-11-25, version 1.2.3*

Works as designed and great for the Bip S. It would be awesome to enable a function that turns the on board Bluetooth of the watch (and bands) off and on, instead of relying on turning BT off on the phones when you don’t want the watch/bands connected to the phone.

### 5/5 — Greaat app

*2020-09-18, version 1.1.10*

Can you please add the persian language to this app now i have to change my app to arabic

### 5/5 — Adding Persian(Farsi) Language

*2020-07-26, version 1.1.9*

Greetings
Thank you for your great app.
I have found that this app is the only reliable source of changing the MiBand 4 language interface but it doesn’t support or have Persian(Farsi) in its list. 
I have tried so many times to persuade MiFit app developers to bring language support feature in MiFit but it seems like that they won’t listen at all. 
Specially when it comes to changing your language to Persian for recieving notifications. 
There are indeed unofficial ways to do that but it’s not safe cause it will damage and brick the MiBand 4. 
Whenever i try to receive notifications in Persian,it all show squares with question mark inside of it and it gives me “Undetected Language” vibes. 
Then i have to look up on my phone to see who has texted me. 
What’s the point of having band that doesn’t support your language and you have to look up your phone to realise who texted you in persian?
It’s pointless. 
Please do us a favor and consider adding Persian(Farsi) to your app. 

Regards.

### 5/5 — Way better than AmazFit for Strava/gpx

*2020-05-30, version 1.1.7*

I initially downloaded this and MiFit for my AmazFit Bip, and deleted MiFit when I realized there was no way to connect to Strava. Unfortunately, I ran into a bug in the AmazTools Strava sync, so I reported a bug and switched to using the AmazFit app. The AmazFit app had many problems with syncing, and had no way to remove a gpx or resync, so many of my runs were never synced. But an AmazTools developer responded and fixed the bug in 2 days!! I switched back to the AmazTools app and was able to resync all of the runs that the AmazFit app missed. Also syncs to apple health.

Ranking apps: 
1. AmazTools (all features work)
2. AmazFit (most features work)
3. MiFit (some things work)

### 5/5 — I paid and it’s awesome

*2020-03-15, version 1.1.5*

I like the app, love the ability to dl faces

### 5/5 — We need to change language China to English

*2020-02-23, version 1.1.3*

We need to change language China to English

### 5/5 — Let’s you add more high quality faces to the GTR

*2019-10-06, version 1.0.3*

There are websites which have high quality watch faces and this tool lets you load them. Google for them, I don’t want to put them here in case it’s not officially allowed.

### 5/5 — Persian/French support mi band 4

*2019-09-24, version 1.0*

This app is great!!please bring language support for Persian and French to mi band 4 (Chinese version)🌹🌷
Thank you
