### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore

*2024-12-13*

Even generate tokens page listed in app is wrong.  This app needs to be removed

**Developer response:** Please send a message to info@jwerfel.com and I can help you get the app to work

### 5/5 — Does what it says

*2023-11-25*

As per the title. You can control all SmartThings devices and scenes from your watch (something that SmartThings should have provided) and it does it well.

### 5/5 — Well Done!

*2022-05-11*

I found the app easy to install and really appreciate being able to access my smart home devices and scenes from my watch.

### 1/5 — Doesn't install

*2021-12-01*

Pop-up says Watch Not Available...

Apps are running and token was generated.  No luck.

**Developer response:** Sometimes the watch and the phone have trouble communicating.  The easiest solution is to remove the JSmartWatch app from your watch (using the Watch app on your phone) and then re-installing it.  Usually after that is done you can send the token from the phone to the watch.  If you are still having trouble please contact support: support@jwerfel.com

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2021-05-06*

Awesome App, thank you!

So sad Samsung won’t support an Apple Watch.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2021-04-29*

Got it all setup within a minute. Requires watch OS 7+ and works very well!

### 5/5 — Works Great!!

*2021-03-24*

Very simple to set up and easy to use. It just works! Samsung dropped the ball and this developer scooped it up and ran it in for a touchdown!

### 5/5 — Works Great!

*2021-02-17*

Pretty sad that Samsung doesn’t care about developing this themselves.  
Awesome job!  
Thank you!

### 2/5 — Not working!!!!

*2021-02-09*

I get the token like it says, but when I go to put in the app it tells my “GOT ERROR OF STATUS OPTIONAL (403)

**Developer response:** A 403 error code means the token was not valid. Either it does not have the right permissions or it was not copied properly to the watch. Please verify the permissions are correct in SmartThings (https://account.smartthings.com/tokens) and then try copying it from SmartThings into the iPhone app and sending to the Watch app. If the problem continues then try creating a new token in SmartThings to try again. If you still have issues or questions please contact support@jwerfel.com
