It constantly says it’s loading WhatsApp, but that’s it. Nothing shows up. I have the premium version. Tried to contact the developer/support & all the links are broken. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2019-12-19, version 1.2.2* I bought the premium version thinking that it would be better but the app does not load at all on my watch (series 3). It says connected but none of my chats appear. Waste of money! ### 1/5 — Does not work! *2019-11-24, version 1.2.2* I downloaded this app and I was really hoping that it would work, but it would only show the screen saying it was connected and that was all I could ever really do with it. I downloaded it so many times hoping that it would work, but it just never did. Do not get this, it is a waste of time. ### 1/5 — The app stopped working!! *2019-11-06, version 1.2.2* I was great at first but then the Apple Watch series 4 got updated to a newer version (before the 6.0 version) and it completely stopped working. Wasted 4 bucks on this app. Tried to uninstall and install it back but it was the same crappy app. It’s completely crashed. ### 1/5 — Bad App *2019-10-18, version 1.2.2* Once I opened the app on the iPhone, I was only given the option to purchase premium. I am stuck and can’t go anywhere. When I opened the app on Apple watch, I was instructed to download the app on iPhone. I freaking already have it on my iPhone. ### 1/5 — It just won’t sync- No stars needs to be an option! *2019-09-23, version 1.2.2* I don’t know what’s happening, it use to be slow in updating conversations, but now it just says connected but won’t show anything. I have deleted and reinstalled and I can’t get it to work. I have the paid version and I don’t know how to go about getting a refund until this app is actually ready for the market. ### 1/5 — Just Say No. *2019-09-21, version 1.2.2* I paid for the premium version to use on my watch. No matter how many ways I try, messages will not load on my watch. There is no app support. The link for support connects to a “page not found”. This is pathetic. ### 1/5 — Scans QPC then error message *2019-09-06, version 1.2.2* I have tried multiple times to scan and start this app But constant message to try again later Not sure how premium works or why my app says I have premium, or where If I am being charged for premium, but it indicates now that I have premium and it does not work either ### 1/5 — Doesn’t sync WhatsApp to apple watch *2019-08-31, version 1.2.2* Which is why I downloaded it. In the meantime, I’ve read that others are having the same issue. All it says is “connected”. Glad I didn’t waste any money on the premium version. ### 1/5 — Scam. Does not work. *2019-08-31, version 1.2.2* I’ve re-downloaded this app to try and fix the issue but it does not work. No messages come through. All it says is that it’s connected and I can’t do anything else. I want my money back. ### 1/5 — “Connected” *2019-08-28, version 1.2.2* The app worked when I first downloaded it.... but then eventually none of my chats were showing up, and all it says is “connected”. I’ve rebooted the watch, I’ve reset the settings, I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app, and nothing has brought back my chats! I figured this is because i had the free version, so I purchased the app hoping that once I had premium it would start working again.... still only saying “connected”. Total waste of money! How do we fix this ?! ### 1/5 — Please help me! I need app support *2019-08-21, version 1.2.2* I used to see my chats on my Apple Watch, but I’m not able to see them for a couple of months ago. I have tried deleting the app (uninstalled- reinstalled again) and it hasn’t worked!! Please help me with support. I paid the upgrade to a premium account since the first day I downloaded the app. ### 1/5 — No good at all *2019-08-15, version 1.2.2* Since I bought my iwatch I downloaded this app plus I upgraded to $4.99 so it can work properly and since then I can even see the messages or replay them back cause it did not show them Properly, why you’re making people upgraded if it not going to work.??? ### 1/5 — Not working *2019-06-21, version 1.2.2* App was working just fine until last Saturday when it crashed and then I had to reinstall it. Now I just have a black screen it says connected but none of my messages are being shown on my Apple Watch. Please fix the app. I have the paid version and I love this app but right now it’s not worth the purchase price. Please update this app ### 1/5 — Chatify Review *2019-06-20, version 1.2.2* I paid to upgrade to premium and the app doesn’t even work properly. I’ll get notifications but I can’t view or send any messages on my watch. All I can see is a black screen that says connected at the top. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It doesn’t even work *2021-10-02, version 1.3* I paid for the premium service and everything and it just says “Open the App on you your iPhone” and after opening the app nothing happens ### 1/5 — Don’t purchase premium *2021-08-04, version 1.3* I paid for premium and it was withdrawn from my credit card, however, premium features didn’t work on my apple watch!! I asked for refund from apple app store. Stay away from this app if you want premium features. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2020-12-17, version 1.3* Don’t wast ur money. I have Apple Watch 6. I tried to contact it it wouldn’t let me basically i just wasted $5. I should’ve read the reviews before I upgraded to premium member and it’s worthless if there is lower than one star I would give this app unfortunately developers only think about the money not the quality ### 1/5 — Not compatible with Apple Watch 6 *2020-12-07, version 1.3* I purchased this app and was very disappointed to find that it is not compatible with my new Apple Watch 6. It worked when initially installed but then just stopped connecting with my iPhone 11. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times and it is just not connecting. Not worth the effort! ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-06-30, version 1.2.2* I just purchased my 5th generation Apple Watch 4 days ago. I paid 4.99 to download this app so it can sync with the phone so I can receive messages, etc. My watch keeps saying the name of the app, along with welcome (connected) and then saying waiting on the iPhone followed by open Charity on your device. When I open it, nothing. I spend the money and it doesn’t work. I’ve even uninstalled and reinstalled. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work... *2020-04-25, version 1.2.2* As another user suggest it worked initially but stopped and locked on “connected” waiting for iPhone and it never worked after. I’ve since deleted the useless app. SMH Apple needs to do more to ensure support when people spend $$ ### 1/5 — No upgrade *2020-03-05, version 1.2.2* Waste of money. You pay to use the whatsapp on your watch and it is the same as the free version - you can only see the messages but you can’t do anything else, not even see pictures. ### 1/5 — Waste of money for the Premium *2020-02-18, version 1.2.2* Downloaded the app, and still not able to receive the Scan QR. I purchased the premium package with the hope that would fix this problem, still nothing. What a waste of money, I’m sure I cannot get reimbursed for something that never actually worked or activated. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-01-19, version 1.2.2* Do not get or pay for premium! It will not work on the watch I could not get it to verify. Apple denied my request for a refund. I would not even give this app one but you had to choose a star. ### 1/5 — Want my money back *2020-01-03, version 1.2.2* Installed this and paid the $4.99 for the premium. What’s the premium for. It won’t even populate my whatsapp messages. It says it’s connected but will not even give me a notification. The app doesn’t even show up in my Apple Watch app to turn notifications on. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What’s App *2022-10-30, version 1.3* I absolutely Love it, on my watch, iPhone, iPad, itoilet, NOT!!! Just wanted to see if you were paying attention! lol 🤪😁, ok, no seriously anytime I find a “1 stop shop “, so to speak, I’m on it! I can use this app from all my devices as well as all the different chat sites apps I use, and a whole lot more cool features too, but you’ll just have to check it out at your App Store , for your own devices and see “What’s Up “ ok, if y’all know anything about me at all then you know if I find an app, or anything that is technical or has to do with technology I’m lost right there 🧐, so for me to approve of it and or like it, it’s got to be something worth checking into at least! Ok? It’s called the “what’s app “, and I found it for my Apple Watch actually, while looking at all the different watch apps then a bunch of other apps. . .and . . well, you know what I mean, right, need I keep going? Didn’t think 🤔 so, so, y’all just check it out for yourself! ### 5/5 — Works just like regular text chat *2018-11-25, version 1.1.1* It works well with my WhatsApp ### 4/5 — Seems to work *2019-09-22, version 1.2.2* So far so good. App seems to send messages to my watch ok. Let’s hope it continues to do so. I don’t feel confident judging from other reviewers but at least I get messages unlike one of the other apps I just paid $2.99 for and does not work at all ### 3/5 — App notifications *2019-08-20, version 1.2.2* The app does not allow for WhatsApp to vibrant on the iwatch. The chat appears on the iwatch, but then disappears once viewed/replied. It’s not the worse app, but definitely needs improvements. ### 3/5 — How to use *2019-07-19, version 1.2.2* I did every thing when I was done all it showed is that it was connected ### 3/5 — Chatify *2019-01-28, version 1.2* Takes a bit to long to upload messages on watch ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2018-12-12, version 1.1.1* Does not notify me when I get messages. Takes forever to load messages. Does not show profile picture and does not showing when friends are typing a message. Can do with more updating. ### 2/5 — Needs update *2020-03-21, version 1.2.2* Only thing you can do on this app is respond to incoming text. It doesn’t allow you to see all other chats/ groups on your watch or makes calls. ### 2/5 — it has so much potential *2019-06-11, version 1.2.2* this app really does have potential to be great but it needs bugs fixed. it worked good in my series 3, but on my series 4, it doesn’t. it doesn’t show any of my chat history. it just says connected but that’s it. it takes long for the msgs to update. I had to delete the app and pay $3 for another one ### 2/5 — Needs more improvements *2019-04-08, version 1.2.2* It’s slow on updating text and voice messages. And when trying to reply talking to the mic it only recognize English. It would be nice to have more than one language included like Spanish for example. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
