ЛУЧШЕЕ ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ. единственное из приложений, которое реально позволяет скачать на вотчи музыку, я просто из файлов ее скинула себе, можно проигрывать и просто на динамик часов, и на наушники, вся музыка хранится именно на часах и место в телефоне не занимает. качайте, не пожалеете! у меня ни одно другое приложение не сработало)

Great Little A pp

This app is everything I was looking for in order to play music and short videos on my Apple Watch without being tied to a streaming service. The files are stored right on the watch’s memory so that you aren’t tethered to your phone. Using Google Drive I was able to upload my favorite files to the Watch Player app without any issues. Only encountered one small issue on the video playback to which the developer’s support was very responsive. And if that wasn’t enough, at four bucks this was the best bargain that I have ever gotten in the Apple Store. No monthly subscription charges, no ads, no nagging pop ups for upgrades. I highly recommend this app without reservations.

Can’t sync anything unless the app is on the display of the watch

Can’t sync anything unless the app is on the display of the watch, can’t even see the minute and second of the song?? Really? Just a play button on screen all the time, no info?

Great product

Tried a number of music players for Apple Watch and this is the best I have found
Ok it’s not free but it’s hardly expensive and the support is excellent
Easy to upload files from my windows pc using the Apple devices app for windows

Bonne app de musique pour votre montre

Cette application permet d’enregistrer sur votre montre des musiques déjà enregistrées sur votre iPhone (local ou Cloud). Autrement dit, si vous « téléchargez » des MP3 via YouTube, c’est ce qu’il vous faut pour libérer de l’espace sur votre IPhone.

Les commandes sur la montre sont assez intuitives et faciles à manipuler malgré la petite taille de l’écran. Le temps de transfert sur la montre peut être un peu long si vous uploadez trop de morceaux a la fois. Pensez juste à garder votre montre au poignet tout au long du processus, car si elle tombe en veille ou se verrouille pendant le transfert, il faudra tout recommencer…

Le seul bémol et ce n’était pas clair pour moi avant d’obtenir cette app, c’est que vous ne pouvez pas écouter la musique sur votre IPhone (juste sur votre montre). La seule chose que vous pouvez faire à partir de votre iPhone, c’est uploader la musique sur votre montre. Si par exemple vous recherchez une app qui synchronise localement votre musique sur votre IPhone et votre Apple Watch tout en vous permettant de permuter l’écoute sur l’un ou l’autre, alors cette app n’est pas faite pour vous.
