Apple Watch 3 with XR with new OSes *2021-11-28* I am finding the instructions don’t currently work/it’s impossible to follow step two. Apple Watch 3 with XR with new OSes. Step two is to select the “photo album” watchface.I scroll through all of them and there’s no such thing. There’s “Photos” but they’re saying no that’s not what we’re supposed to two so I’m stuck. I was able to follow step one. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2020-12-14* Will say “last updated less than a minute ago” in the app but no photos are added to the Glimpse album on my phone, and nothing shows up on the watch except for the initial test picture to check if it was set up correctly. ### 1/5 — Not syncing *2019-11-22, version 1.2.2* Is this app still supported? It is not syncing anymore ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-03-31* This doesn’t work, won’t log into 500xp and Pinterest and the ones I do have as on nothing on my watch. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work! *2019-01-30, version 1.2.2* Unable to load channels, app doesn't work! ### 3/5 — Will not let me login to my Twitter *2019-01-07* Has a little variety to choose from but can’t log in to my Twitter account or any account that requires a login.Is there a way to work around this? ### 1/5 — Can’t log into Twitter and can’t get images from channels... *2018-11-13* Can’t log into Twitter and can’t get images from channels... ### 2/5 — Not working *2018-11-07, version 1.2.2* All channels Not working , please fix it.
