Thanks a lot ### 1/5 — Galaxy app store not working *2026-05-29, version 1.11.22021602* Im trying to get watch faces for my watch and the galaxy app store says not found. Does this still function? ### 1/5 — Galaxy watch 5pro *2026-05-29, version 1.11.22021602* When will the galaxy watch 5pro be added? ### 1/5 — No funciona *2026-05-24, version 1.11.22021602* Ya tiene más de 2 años sin funcionar al querer activar un reloj Samsun de 45 mm de 4 generación pide conectar a internet para poder autenticar y en el momento que nesecita salir al portal en línea manda error de lectura de la página ### 1/5 — I can’t even connect my watch *2026-05-23, version 1.11.22021602* I was reading some reditt reviews and got this app tried to connect my watch 13 time and it didn’t connect please fix this ### 2/5 — Why is Galaxy8 not in this app *2026-05-23, version 1.11.22021602* This app is nice but is missing their newest watch the Galaxy8 which is way more stylish of all models.

Finds the watch but won’t connect. ### 1/5 — Terrible, Not integrated with Samsung Galaxy 4 watch? Worthless. *2026-08-06, version 1.11.22021602* Terrible, Not integrated with Samsung Galaxy 4 watch? Worthless. Not compatible with SHealrh? Lacking integration with any IPhone? Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Great hardware, but locking out iOS users is a mistake *2026-08-06* I've been looking forward to the Galaxy Watch Ultra as a rugged alternative to my Apple Watch, and was hoping to pair it with my iPhone 16 Pro. While older Galaxy watches are supported in this app, it is incredibly disappointing that Samsung's most premium flagship smartwatch is completely locked out of the iOS ecosystem. Consumers want hardware choices without being forced to switch phone platforms just to use a watch. Please work with Google to bring Wear OS support back to iOS, or develop a standalone companion app so Apple users can actually buy your hardware ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-07-26, version 1.11.22021602* Apple and Samsung keep fighting and the customers loose.

Every time I try, I get Error 400 (“Unable to load web page”). I have a Galaxy Watch (SM-R810), reinstalled the app, reset the watch, and cleared Safari data, but the problem still exists. Please fix this issue. ### 1/5 — Keeps failing *2026-07-16, version 1.11.22021602* This worked for a while then contact between the phone and watch stopped connecting App when I opened it the app was blank Tried removing it and reinstalling it worked again Then it quit and went blank again ### 1/5 — Does not work with my watch *2026-06-30, version 1.11.22021602* Samsung should make a newer version of the watch app for my Galaxy watch 7 for IOS ### 1/5 — 1 star *2026-06-22, version 1.11.22021602* It will not connect to the watch 4 ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2026-06-17, version 1.11.22021602* I can’t login to my Samsung account in the app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT APP *2026-08-10, version 1.11.22021602* WORKS NICE ### 5/5 — Mark Howard *2026-08-08, version 1.11.22021602* Howard ### 5/5 — It works *2026-07-21, version 1.11.22021602* Everything works.
