### 1/5 — I

*2026-04-16*

Pathetic app. Unable to connect with watch ultra 3. Waste of money

### 1/5 — Does not work.

*2025-12-09*

The app does not show up on my watch. Incompatible?

### 3/5 — Full featured?

*2022-10-08*

I am using this app to capture wildlife video from inside a camouflaged tent shooting through a screen. Two things I need to do with this app:
1. Switch to video mode. The app comes up in still photo mode. 
2. Auto-Focus lock on infinity rather than macro focus on the screen. 
3.  Don't timeout and quit the app.  This might be an iPhone setting for screen lock but the app also seems to quit after a timeout. 

Can't figure out how to do any of these.
If the app can do it, please explain how. If not, please add these simple functions and don't claim you can control all the camera features until you actually can.

### 5/5 — 100%

*2021-04-22*

Brilliant just bought the app had no trouble with it well worth the money works on iPhones

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2021-01-14*

App does not work as advertised. Gotta pay to get the app, then once ya installed, then ya gotta pay again if ya want full control with your watch and it didn’t even work for me. I had to open the app from my phone for it to work. The stock apple app works better and it was free with buying my watch and phone. Save your money people! They jus want your money. App deleted.

### 1/5 — ไม่แนะนำ

*2020-08-27, version 1.2.0*

การเชื่อมต่อระหว่างโทรศัพท์ติดๆหลุดๆ การสบัดข้อมือถ่ายรูปไม่ค่อยติด

### 1/5 — Перевод

*2020-04-05*

Где перевод на русский язык?????

### 1/5 — 不能唤醒锁屏的手机

*2019-10-21*

必须先打开手机上的app并且保持不关闭才能在watch 上遥控，不能像watch 自带的相机程序直接可以唤醒锁屏的手机！没什么卵用，不建议购买

### 2/5 — Not exactly as advertised

*2019-10-17*

You have to launch both the phone and watch apps separately. The claim of Siri opening it on your phone from your watch (shown in apps intro image) is not true. 
The premium feature of blacking out your phone screen is also inaccurate; there is an icon that remains. 
Without a true remote feature, you might as well use the Apple shutter app and switch to video on your phone.

### 1/5 — なんか変

*2019-07-23*

ビデオ撮ったら、早巻きで撮れていた。
