### 1/5 — PÉSSIMO!

*2025-05-18*

Não dá pra adicionar fotos, não dá pra fazer nada que promete. 
 Só queria meu estorno!!!!

### 5/5 — 2025 working

*2025-04-21, version 1.1.1*

Écouter le tuto et ça fonctionne !

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for garmin

*2024-01-16, version 1.1.0*

Tried both android and iPhone versions of this paid app and neither work to sync with their watch app on garmin descent

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht

*2022-11-06*

Absolut unbrauchbar !!! 👎

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2022-10-19, version 1.0.9*

Did not work at all and not worth 1.99. If yr charge for this app make sure it works properly.

### 1/5 — Waste of time and money - doesn’t work as advertised

*2022-06-05, version 1.0.7*

Followed all the instructions to get the pics to show up on my watch, which took forever to finally work. Now that the pics are there, they don’t stay on my watch face. After several minutes, the watch face goes back to the face it had previously and I have to restart the pic app to get the pictures back. This was a huge waste of my time and I wish I hadn’t spent my money on this garbage. Extremely disappointed and do NOT recommend.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-05-31, version 1.0.7*

Doesn’t work it’s a waste of time and money

### 2/5 — Me hace volver a pagarla

*2022-03-26, version 1.0.7*

Me he cambiado de movil. se me ha sincronizado todas las app menos esta. y ahora me hace volver  apagarla.
Por favor ayuda

### 1/5 — Trust the negative reviews

*2021-10-23, version 1.0.4*

I took a chance at losing $2 based off of all the bad reviews, hoping I’d get lucky and get to write a good review. The photos will download to 100% on the watch and then the watch automatically reverts to stock photos. Bad development, wish I could get a refund but oh well. Idk how this is still on the App Store.

### 1/5 — This app does not work.

*2021-08-19, version 1.0.4*

Do not waste your money on this app.  It does not work. It’s a scam…..
