### 2/5 — Works but not completely

*2025-11-20*

It seems incompatible with the newer versions of Apple Watch modular face it no longer displays the text in the center complication area. It would be a great app if the developer could just update it to work with the center complication and display the text instead of the puzzle piece.

### 4/5 — Tut, was sie soll

*2022-07-02*

Ich nutze die App, um einen Wert aus einer JSON-API zu sehen. Das Setup war etwas fummelig, aber wenn alle Settings gefunden sind, tut die App zuverlässig was sie tun soll.

### 3/5 — “Benefits of subscription” text hidden by keyboard

*2021-07-25*

Nowhere in the app or on the website can I find info as to what the point of a subscription might be. So, not subscribing. 

Otherwise, still evaluating.

### 4/5 — Can be improved

*2021-05-26*

This app is honestly great but I wish there were more features to customize it

### 5/5 — Top!

*2020-10-20*

Wenn man den korrekten Pfad findet macht die App zuverlässig was sie soll. 👍

### 3/5 — Watch complication seems outdated

*2019-10-29*

I am currently using watch os 6. I completed the setup with all the data settings but it only shows the Equalizer icon on the “Simple C” complication section. Any ideas? or plan to update the app? If not I would like to ask for the refund on my subscription...

### 2/5 — It work, somewhat

*2019-10-14*

This app is ugly as others have said, and it works OK for the small "round" complications. However, I've spent 20 minutes trying to get the large rectangle infograph modular complication to show anything and cannot - it's just a black square. 

Buggy and needs quite a bit of work, but it does function if you just want the small complications

### 1/5 — Purchase awhile back but now requires subscription

*2019-10-04*

Barely worked before and now they want more money on a subscription?!  Definitely not worth downloading

### 4/5 — Great concept, but subscription required.

*2019-10-03*

If you're considering this app, note that an annual subscription of $1.99 is required to use this app  at all.

### 5/5 — It works really well

*2019-04-09*

Once you understand how to use it, it works really well so I have subscribed to the full version. I use it to display text and images from my own server on my watch. The developer was very helpful when I initially struggled to get the complication to update.
