### 2/5 — Laggy

*2024-10-19, version 9.91.1*

It is very laggy and takes forever to load.

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2024-09-06, version 9.91.1*

To be fair, it has everything you need, like messaging but we would appreciate it if u it looked more like discord and had more features like discord.

### 3/5 — good app overall

*2024-05-30, version 9.91.1*

It’s an amazing app overall, the only thing is, i wish they were more active with the development of it. I tried purchasing the MiniCord pro, yet it wouldn’t allow me and when i went to their discord server for support, their tickets are full and they don’t seem too active on their own discord server. Please, be more active developers.

### 3/5 — It works

*2024-05-10, version 9.91.1*

It does no better than just work. There’s a pure problems: not updating messages sent, not much customisation, etc. Apart from that, it works just enough to be considered a “good” app.

### 2/5 — MESSAGES DOM’T UPDATE

*2024-03-20, version 9.91.1*

When I I’m inside of a server, I have to close the server and open it again for the messages to auto update

### 1/5 — Terrible & Buggy

*2024-02-10, version 9.91.1*

This app barely works and recently turned previously included features in the app purchase into a subscription. Complete rip off. DO NOT BUY

### 1/5 — Won’t Let You Log In

*2024-02-08*

There appears to be a button to log in but if you touch it an ad for the premium subscription opens. You cannot log in and try the product making downloading it a fruitless endeavor. Perhaps give up, there will not be any discord on the watch worth using.

Edit: It doesn’t turn up when you search for “discord watch” but there is a well rated discord phone app called “chroncord” that sounds like it might be halfway decent. Maybe look at that one!

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2024-01-17, version 9.91*

Just loads and loads and loads. Regardless of WiFi or a strong 5G connection. Won’t even load the DMs. Like come on. You’re gonna charge for a subscription without letting me even try the app and it doesn’t even deliver. Flick of the wrist. My Series 9 will be dead before this app works. Very disappointed. You took my money. I expect your service to work.

### 2/5 — Used to be good

*2024-01-09*

I used to love this app but the recent update where they added a subscription kinda broke sending messages sometimes, it happened occasionally before but now its just absurd, i got their subscription aswell and it recently went through again but its acting like i didn't even get it and is asking me to get it again before just not letting me send anymore messages, the bottom line i used to recommend it but until there are some fixes i cant see myself doing it for now until the future.

### 2/5 — I only just got this but

*2024-01-08, version 9.91*

•I wish I could choose which servers I want on my watch because currently my bottom two folders are visible when I want the servers at the top of my list.

•I try adding more servers and although it goes up to 90 I can only still see the same 30 out of order. I’d at least like to pin or hide certain servers.

•Buffering is so bad

### 4/5 — Accessibility with purchasing pro

*2023-12-27, version 9.91*

Is there any way you can make accessible when it comes to purchasing pro?

### 3/5 — Works but not very well

*2023-12-12, version 9.91*

Ok kudos to the idea because it is smart. But with servers it’s just not really good. To start I can’t even load general in servers. Like that’s really sad because everything else is pretty alright. To the developer please fix the issue. I do recommend if you don’t have a phone.

### 1/5 — Subscription now required for previously free features

*2023-12-04, version 9.91*

I paid for the app, now logging in with the QR code requires a separate monthly subscription to use this feature and a huge list of others that were also previously included in the original app charge.

### 1/5 — Just no

*2023-11-28, version 9.91*

So I downloaded this app to keep up with my server’s updates right? Whenever I try to use the QR code,It makes me pay to join

### 1/5 — Monthly Subscription For Basic Security Standards

*2023-11-27, version 9.91*

Monthly subscription fee in a paid app to support 2FA login into a free platform. Need I say more? 

The funny thing is I would have totally been behind a one time fee for all of this, which is what this app once was. This monetization update was a complete overstep by the dev. I’ll just use my phone, thank you.

### 4/5 — Very good rework

*2023-11-18, version 9.91*

It’s an amazing rework for what it is there’s just one more small thing that I wish you guys would’ve added and that is notification on your wrist that would be kind of cool. besides that this is a great rework. Love what y’all are doing

### 1/5 — Practically a scam

*2023-11-15*

The app always worked just barely and was hardly tolerable to begin with, but after this latest update they want you to pay for a subscription to even log in to your discord account unless you don’t use 2FA. This is absolutely ridiculous, given that i’ve already paid for the app to begin with, and i’m not going to jeopardize the security of my discord account just so i can read through discord in the most clunky and inconvenient manner imaginable without having to pay a monthly subscription fee.

### 1/5 — Another loss to money grubbing subscriptions

*2023-11-05, version 9.91*

Nickel and diming users for a subscription for an already paid app, is hilarious, given the features were previously available for free

### 1/5 — Forces you to buy a monthly subscription.

*2023-11-05, version 9.91*

Would rather just pay one time or not at all as Discord is an open sourced application. Devs are just trying to mince money off of you

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Never worked

*2024-12-07, version 9.91.1*

Downloaded and paid for this app years ago and i have never once been able to log in. The support staff doesnt respond or help. I believe it has been abandoned, dont waste your time.

### 1/5 — please add support for older apple watches

*2024-10-24, version 9.91.1*

what the title says

### 1/5 — never works

*2024-09-27, version 9.91.1*

could not even get it to log in. waste of money

### 1/5 — Broken

*2024-08-27, version 9.91*

They released a one time purchase app that worked well, forced everyone who bought it to get a subscription, and broke half the app, all in one update.

### 1/5 — Fix it!

*2024-08-17, version 9.91.1*

I can’t even log in! Nothing else to it! I can log in!

### 1/5 — Flamming garbage

*2024-07-30, version 9.91.1*

App never stays log in, messages are super delayed or don’t send at all. Top it off they have the audacity to keep asking you for a monthly subscription.

### 1/5 — A genuinely awful app ruined further by the developer’s greed

*2024-06-09, version 9.91.1*

The login page was already buggy enough so you couldn’t log in, so you were forced to use the QR login to even enter the app. Now the developer locked the QR login behind a subscription so that is also not a viable choice unless you want to pay extra for the most inconvenient app in the existence. 
Avoid at all costs, discord app’s message notifications already show up on your Watch without this app, you don’t need it.

### 1/5 — Straight up doesn’t work

*2024-06-02, version 9.91.1*

Can’t even log in. Tried all methods — phone login, QR code, and email/pass. Nothing worked at all, tried multiple times. Total waste of time.

### 1/5 — It’s pretty bad.

*2024-04-24, version 9.91.1*

I don’t have pro, so this it for the ‘lite’ version. Maybe in the future if it’s more functional? I’d be happy to try it again.

They massively changed the ‘lite’ version to increase profits, I get it, capitalism and developers need paying, I really get it, but it makes the lite version unusable.

Previously I could view all my servers on it, all my DMs and I basically used it to notify me, so I could respond on my phone. 

They reduced the amount of servers you can view to 1, the number of DMs to 1.

It’s basically useless unless you have 1 friend and 1 server. It doesn’t let you select the server and picks one at random, and the service itself? Eh. 

It’s pretty buggy, clicking on a chat would sometimes take you somewhere random, and you’d have to click back through to find it yourself, but clicking on it took the notification away so you couldn’t find it on your phone? 

It’s subscription based so you’re kind of stuck paying for it if you want ANYWAY of accessing it in a kind of useable way? 

If you use discord a lot I’d say at this point? No app is better than this app. :-/ Which is a real shame. I don’t know if the updates made it more buggy? But it’s QR code login is in beta and doesn’t work, the phone login took a few attempts and restarts to log in to after it updated, for me to learn all the reductions to the lite version, and it’s just a little too slow and buggy for me to want to spend money on and upgrade to the pro version. 

If the lite version isn’t going to show a better range of use than this, it’s actually hindering your brand by not showcasing the amazing features it did have, bugs aside (I was still happily using it with bugs) it’s now more frustrating to have than not.

I hope this isn’t taken in bad faith. I wish the developers and team all the best, I just can’t afford to pay out for the service that’s not being provided, and the lite version is not giving you the credit you deserve for the service you can provide! :)

### 1/5 — Half broken and requires a subscription

*2024-02-24*

When I bought this app, it had a lifetime subscription to use it. I paid once and expected it to work for as long as the company supported development. But not even 4 months later, they dropped that as an option and moved to monthly subscriptions with no support for legacy. When I asked, I was told they would do something for those who bought the lifetime subscription, but then got booted from the discord and can’t rejoin it. I paid for a lifetime to avoid monthly subscriptions. They should be delisted for false advertising and failing to take care of existing customers.  I switched to chroncord and it works better than this app ever did.

### 5/5 — 👍

*2024-10-01, version 9.91.1*

It worked perfectly

### 5/5 — Not bad

*2023-08-22, version 9.9.59*

I haven’t used it a ton yet but with all the bad reviews I expect it to not work. But it was pretty good for being on a watch. Overall worth the 4 bucks.

### 5/5 — Works wonderfully!

*2023-08-10, version 9.9.59*

If you ever wanted to use discord on Apple Watch this is the way to go. The only complaint I have is that it can be slow at times but other than that it’s perfect!

### 5/5 — Definitely the best Disc app out there right now

*2023-06-20, version 9.9.59*

Give credit where credit is due. This app isn’t perfect, but so far, no real issues of any kind. I am awaiting voice chat functionality but it is quite reliable as it stands.

### 5/5 — Omg this app is awesome

*2022-03-15*

I am not allowed my phone during the week so having this app is amazing, soo far I have only encountered one issue, some things can be quite slow during the setup process.

I am amazed I can look at all discord conversations and message back, it is quite fast but there are some things that can be slow to do, apart from that I highly recommend getting this app.

I am not a bot and I have not been asked to review I did this review to help others

**Developer response:** Thank you.

### 5/5 — This is an amazing app idc what y’all say

*2022-02-16*

This app is great, I haven’t had any issues with it so far and it works wonders. Servers show nicely with even the server picture next to the name, and messages are sent without delay. The only thing I’ve noticed was that it takes some time to load the messages in a server when you first open the channel but that’s not an issue at all to me. I’m excited to see the future updates involving voice chat with this app. Thank you developers :)

**Developer response:** Thank you.

### 5/5 — About to cry

*2022-01-27, version 9.9*

My series 3 cant run this💔

### 5/5 — The best discord app for Watch

*2021-11-02, version 9.9*

Never seen better! I can chat and do almost everything on here! Would rate 10/5 but I can’t.

### 5/5 — Discord for Apple Watch

*2021-10-27*

Best app ever if you don’t feel like using your phone, but rather your watch to use discord. Definitely one optimization is needed, then it’ll be buttery smooth! Other than that this app is awesome and I cannot wait to be able to use it to join voice channels soon across discord servers. Highly recommended!

**Developer response:** Thank you.

### 5/5 — Really good and something about voice chat

*2021-10-18, version 9.9*

This app works just like discord.
You can see images, scroll back in messages, send messages, and go through servers.

The voice chat doesn’t work yet, but judging on their update schedule, voice chat might be available in a few weeks or less.

Really good app, basically discord on your watch.
