### 1/5 — Chinese only?

*2023-09-24, version 2.2*

There was no indication I saw in the app description or the screenshots that this app has all its buttons in Chinese. I’d love to use this app from how it looks in the screenshots, but either English needs to be added as an option, or ideally the buttons need to be made into graphical icons, using the regular media symbols and such to make it transcend the language barrier. If the developer cannot do that, I would like a refund please, although my preference is to get the app I paid for in a usable form, as the outdated screenshots indicated I would.

### 5/5 — Help I need this app in English.

*2022-11-30*

I downloaded this app in English and used it just fine. Then it required 9.0 or higher once I had that I can no longer see this app in English. Can anyone help?

### 4/5 — Can’t understand

*2022-10-20, version 2.2*

It’s good that the author has updated this app, I’ve enjoyed it for many years.. but it no longer includes English and I don’t know how to translate or what the buttons do. Please will you create instructions your English speaking customer can interpret.

### 4/5 — Instructions for 2.1 10/13/2022

*2022-10-14, version 2.1*

This app still works, but it's even more difficult to use. It is now all chinese text. The ability to play video full screen was removed. The ability to transfer files into the app without a computer was removed. You also have no control of the playlist order. Even if you add files one by one in the order you want to the phone or the watch, they will be rearranged randomly. Which makes the audio player's sequential, random, repeat functions kind of pointless. 

What it can do: Play audio via apple watch speaker in the background, even from music videos, and continue from track to track without user interaction. This alone makes it worth learning how to use it. 

 INSTRUCTIONS: 

The only way to make good instructions would be with images, but I'll give you some important details: 

1.) Transfer files into the phone app using itunes file sharing on windows or finder on mac. 

2.) Click the lower right chineese symbol in the phone app to go the the screen to transfer files to the watch. Click the chineese symbol next to a file name to transfer that file to the watch. Transfer one file at a time, with both the phone and watch apps open. Prevent the watch from going to sleep by moving the crown regularly. Turn off bluetooth in the watch settings before transferring to force wifi transfer which is faster. 

3.) Once your files are on the watch: 

Left screen file list - Use files
----------------------- 
Top button - Go to audio player 
Left button on a file - open file in audio player
Right button on a file - open file in video player

Audio player
------------ 
Top button - Play/Pause 
Left button - track back 
Right button - track forward 
Bottom button - 3 option button that cycles through Sequential, Random, and Repeat One. 

Right screen file list - Delete files 
--------------------------- 
(Push the left button, then the right button to delete a file.) 

 4.) To make background audio function when you leave the app, I find I have to play a video for a second then go back to the audio player and start the music.
