### 3/5 — Audio playback stops

*2026-07-31*

I use this in the gym when I don’t have my iPhone connected, it works okay but when I ask it to randomise the music it plays one or two and then stops needing a restart. Very buggy and need some more development.

### 2/5 — It won’t go to the next video

*2025-12-01*

It stopped playing the next videos since the last update. Watch version 26.1
It just plays one video of the playlist and just stop.

### 3/5 — Can’t scrub

*2025-11-20*

Not bad, but I can’t scrub through the video. I also wish I could stream from my phone to the watch instead of having to save it to the watch, since storage is limited. Still, it does play video, so I’m thankful.

### 4/5 — Please update app for iOS 26

*2025-11-09*

Nike Running app always pause Videwatch and it’s crashing too much since iOS update

### 4/5 — Works well, & well worth the price

*2025-11-03*

It does what I need it to. Gives sufficient feedback to let me know what’s up with the slow transfer rate to watch, which is not the developer’s fault. The app looks good on my screens.

### 4/5 — Good player but…

*2025-04-11*

It needs a few changes to make it useable for multiple video files. I could not find a way to make it play all added videos without manual intervention. It should be able to produce an M3U playlist file it can use for videos and the default screen format should be widescreen or at least able to be set globally instead of having to set it for each file. Other than that,  great job.

### 5/5 — Video Dream

*2025-02-01, version 8.1.2*

It is a dream come true to put short videos on my watch. Thank you!

### 5/5 — G

*2025-01-12, version 8.1.2*

Feliz

### 3/5 — Almost perfect

*2025-01-08*

Doesn’t auto play next item and a way to compile playlists on the watch itself would be hugely useful. If this could be added then it would be 5 star

### 5/5 — Videwatch

*2024-12-11, version 8.1.2*

Perfect!

### 3/5 — Better at audio than video

*2024-11-16*

Supports folders, which is great. Doesn’t play most of the video files I’ve tried. It’s a better audio player than video.

### 5/5 — This software is great

*2024-11-13, version 8.1.2*

This software is great, the best player for Apple Watch Ultra2

### 5/5 — Free vids

*2024-08-28*

Only free way to watch vids on watch

### 5/5 — Quite useful

*2024-08-27*

Sometimes small file size videos become bigger because app compressing process. Will be great if you offer an option to disable it, for the people who is using already optimized video size files.

### 1/5 — 使えない

*2025-12-17*

メディア追加の文字が出たまま進まない
まったく使えません
サポートに連絡しても返信もない

### 1/5 — Doesn't work well

*2025-09-04*

The video file is not saved properly.
Moreover, it arbitrarily changes the resolution and size of the video, making the file even larger.

Even when I compress and send a small video under 40MB, the conversion process turns it into a file of over 600MB, which takes much longer to transfer and does not work as intended.

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2025-01-18*

Very bad would not even pop up on my Apple Watch waste of money

### 1/5 — 確かに使えますが....

*2024-12-12*

確かに使えますが、人を馬鹿にするものです！

### 1/5 — Awful app doesn’t work

*2024-09-04*

### 1/5 — youtubu出来なくなった

### 1/5 — 传输东西慢的要死。真不知道优化的啥。。。

*2024-04-28*

更新了我以为传输会变快了，结果1个23mb的小视频传送了十几分钟都没好，卸载了

**Developer response:** Hi, to help transfer videos and audio to the watch: 
- Open Videwatch on the Apple Watch. 
- Place the Apple Watch on charge near your iPhone. 
If transfers don't start, try restarting Videwatch on both devices. Restart your iPhone if transfer issues continue.

*2025-06-16*

I really enjoy downloading tracks from my files that are original music that I could listen on the Videwatch app. I really enjoy also downloading other music from other sources that I have that is very convenient to use on my watch. Thanks for your product.

### 5/5 — goat app

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい！

*2025-03-16*

audiowatchより優れています、
難点はバッテリー消耗、でもこんなアプリが欲しかった。Google pixel Watch３も真似して、ついに Watch本体からスピーカー音出しを始めた！

### 5/5 — Absolutely Genius.

*2025-03-13*

This app is the best out of all the ones I’ve tried because it has this thing of previewing the Watch on the phone. It’s so convenient! Instead of holding up your watch the whole time. How come no one else thought about it…
