Последяюняя версия ios

### 1/5 — No longer works!!

*2021-11-22, version 1.1*

Since the latest iOS update (15.1) on my phone and 8.1 on my watch, the Now Playing app no longer works on my watch. What comes up is “iPhone Not Playing” which it clearly is. Help! I miss this feature and I use it all the time!

### 1/5 — Can’t control music anymore

*2021-11-07, version 1.1*

The watch updated and I can no longer control what music is playing with my watch. I use this feature everyday at the gym so it’s very annoying that it no longer works! PLEASE FIX THIS!!!

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2021-11-03, version 1.1*

After new update the app doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Apple you broke this

*2021-10-20, version 1.1*

After updating my watch iOS I can no longer control what I’m playing on my iPhone. Fix this please!!

### 1/5 — Icon

*2021-10-14, version 1.1*

I dont need this app to display on the watch any information im streaming on my iphone. Even after deleting this app from the watch, the icon stays at the top of the watch and doesnt go away. IF THE APP WAS TRULY DELETED WHY IS THE ICON SHOWING IN THE NOTIFICATIONS?!?!?!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work right

*2021-10-01, version 1.1*

I updated my watch iOS and now this app doesn’t allow me to control music on my iPhone from the watch.

### 2/5 — Громкость

*2022-04-25, version 1.1*

Куда пропала возможность увеличивать или уменьшать громкость через колёсико digital? Именно при прослушивании музыки через iPhone на часах в «исполняется» пропала возможность -+ громкость. Кнопка digital исправна сама по себе

### 2/5 — Etjoh26

*2022-03-26, version 1.1*

Since the last update, I can no longer listen to my audiobooks on the watch. This is so annoying because this is one of the reasons I bought this device. Please fix this.

### 2/5 — Used to work great

*2021-11-22, version 1.1*

Used to work great, was incredibly useful for changing volume, pausing and whatnot. Not sure what changed, but now it can’t change volume without closing the app and connecting to another device even though the skip/pause buttons still work. Rating 3 stars because the only features automatically work anymore are the ones I don’t use as often because AirPods can do it themselves :/

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2022-03-14*

Very helpful during gym

### 5/5 — Appears to much on my screen

*2021-12-13, version 1.1*

But I don’t care it’s great

### 5/5 — Wish it had a complication

*2021-09-30, version 1.1*

Simple

### 5/5 — Love it

*2021-09-29, version 1.1*

Use it everyday!

### 5/5 — First

*2021-09-26, version 1.1*

I did it.  I found the least rated Apple app and was the first to comment.  How many millions of people use this app and never thought to do this?

### 5/5 — Poop

*2021-09-26, version 1.1*

Khhh

### 4/5 — Pretty good.. for Apple Watch

*2022-03-15, version 1.1*

I love this app until today I was playing a podcast today and all of a sudden I couldn’t control it on my Apple Watch so can you fix that in watchOS 9

### 4/5 — Great app

*2021-12-10, version 1.1*

Great app for controlling playback on your iPhone or HomePods. Would be great if you could also control volume in an iPad.

### 4/5 — Без него тяжело

*2021-11-24, version 1.1*

Случайно удалил и заручался искать. Нельзя установить через телефон, только через Apple store с часов!
Pls fix

### 4/5 — Solo falta poder controlar el iPad

*2021-10-04, version 1.1*

La aplicación es súper útil, pero ya que ofrece la posibilidad de poder controlar varios dispositivos de Apple y altavoces Bluetooth estaría genial que también pudieses controlar el iPad, posibilidad que no te ofrece esta app y me resulta muy extraño estando dentro del ecosistema de Apple.
