User reviews

Can’t be without it!

This is by far the most used complication on my watch face. Thank you for fixing what Apple have broken and allowing me to control the currently playing audio regardless of whether that’s playing from the watch or the phone.

Perfect

Just what I wanted for my Apple Watch Ultra 3 bottom middle complication. Works great for Overcast and Apple Music.

Great app

Just wish we could customise the complication colours. White and red stand out too much

Exactly what I wanted

All it takes is one tap from the complication and it opens the app and quickly automatically (about half a second) goes to the now playing view for what’s playing on my iPhone. Very useful and nice to have. Should be rated highly for the missing feature it adds.

Did know I needed it but cool

This nice quick way to replace the now playing app that has been soft nerfed on latest iPhone models watch faces.
