Please can you make the animal faces free?? ### 3/5 — Face *2026-07-13, version 10.2.6* The face is not be staying permanently it’s disappear after 5 minutes no good must fix the problem ### 3/5 — This is a HARD-Pass - (Bait and switch) *2026-07-04, version 10.2.6* I tried to install one of the “Free” watch faces - but it’s “Ad-based” - I was fine - let me watch the ad - then - boom - back to the install screen - I thought “ok - maybe it messed up” - I re-watched the “Ad-based” item (a different one) - and then - back to the install screen - to watch another Ad. ,…. ,….. (Yeah - I tried this a few more times - closing the app, etc. - but unless you “buy” this - it’s a SCAM - there - I said it.) I wonder - Doesn’t Apple screen these? Could just be the various times I tried. Anyways - there are very little “Free” watch faces - and honestly - the Apple ones (however limited) at least don’t bait-and-switch you. There is no option to just select to view the “Free” faces - not in the un-paid for version - such a poor decision- IMHO. They got me to watch a total of 5 Ad’s - - good for them - more revenue for them - - they fooled me. This is HARD Pass,…. I would rate them 1-Start - but then nobody would read my review. So I will leave it at 3 to help more folks avoid scams like this. ### 1/5 — Apple Watch 11 *2026-06-21, version 10.2.5* App does not save faces to watch for more than one minute. Watch faces app works much better. ### 1/5 — not pleased *2026-06-18, version 10.2.4* Not pleased at all as the backdrops i choose disappear and go back to apple backdrops . Would like a refund ### 1/5 — Faces not permanent *2026-06-16, version 10.2.4* Faces downloaded onto the app on my Apple Watch but I cannot get them to be a “permanent” watch face. Face reverts to Apple face when I press the side button. Can I have my money back please ### 1/5 — Does not integrate well *2026-06-14, version 10.2.4* Not worth the money. I can send great images to my watch but let’s be clear… this is not a regular watch face. It does not stay displayed. ### 3/5 — Functional watch companion/weather *2026-06-10, version 10.2.3* I have this watch face when I touch the face. It wants me to go to my phone and send WatchMaker through my phone. When I touch the weather I would like the weather to come up and show me previews of upcoming weather. The numbers on the watch for the weather never change I’m a little disappointed right now. I had the Nike watch face with weather, but when I updated to my new phone that was taken away. And I don’t see it in the App Store to replace it. This face does not do that. Maybe it needs a fix I don’t know. I really like the Nike Face but apparently it was discontinued as far as I can see. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2026-06-07, version 10.2.2* Don’t waste your time With this app absolutely useless. The faces don’t stay on your watch. App always says turn on on watch and when you do still nothing. Waste of time app. An app is meant to do what it says on tin. The only thing this app does is take your money and give watch faces you can look at. But not install on your watch. ### 1/5 — Total scam *2026-06-03, version 10.2.0* They make you pay and Watch faces do not stay in your watch. You have to keep opening the app to see it. ### 1/5 — 환불해주세요 *2026-05-31* 사용을 안하는데 계속 결제되네요. 빠른 조치 해주세요 **Developer response:** We sincerely apologize for the continued charges. Please contact help@getwatchmaker.com immediately for a swift refund. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-05-29, version 10.2.0* It let me download one free one then on the second one, forced me to the lifetime purchase. Garbage, pure dishonest garbage. ### 1/5 — Looks awful on watch *2026-05-29, version 10.2.0* The graphics for the analog watches are extremely disappointing. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-05-26, version 10.2.0* Download the watch face and it doesn’t save to my watch. I go looking for it and it’s no where to be found then I download it again and the same thing happens. Not saving to my watch or my phone, so I can’t use them. I was hoping to change up my watch face but it looks like that ain’t happening. Spent $12 bucks for nothing. Would not recommend!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore *2026-08-23, version 10.2.8* I am on iPhone but have a Fossil smartwatch (WearOS). In the past, I was able to select WearOS watches as my default watch type and send watch faces to my watch. Now I cannot do that as the app is set on Apple watches (which I do not own one) and thus cannot send any watch faces to the watch that I can own. I also cannot find any way to change default watch on the app to WearOS. ### 1/5 — Ruim *2026-08-12* Pessimo **Developer response:** I appreciate the feedback. We're sorry to hear this. Please contact help@getwatchmaker.com so we can help resolve this issue quickly. ### 1/5 — Watch face won’t stay *2026-08-10, version 10.2.7* The new watch face I chose does not stay on, it immediately reverts back to my old watch face as soon as I flick my wrist ### 1/5 — Misleading app *2026-08-05, version 10.2.7* So-called “FREE” watch faces aren’t actually free. To get any of them, you have to watch an advertisement—but the ad wouldn’t play, so you never end up getting the “FREE” watch face. Also, on top of the watch face I installed, there was a duplicate time display, which was odd. Not sure how to disable it! Conclusion: this app is NOT user friendly and I can't recommend it to anyone! ### 1/5 — Función *2026-08-03, version 10.2.7* Las carátulas no funcionan bien ### 1/5 — Stole my money *2026-08-01, version 10.2.7* Deleted app and was not able to get money back! Automatically put you on a subscription service. Only way to stop them is to v Block from your. Credit card attached to the apple App Store! They will submit false documents to your credit card if dispute charges! This is a scam! ### 1/5 — Sort and search no longer available *2026-07-21* Nice app. I own the premium version of watchmaker and had collected several hundred watch faces. Unfortunately I cannot sort them nor perform a search in my own database! Why? These functions were available few years ago. A correction is mandatory. Now the app doesn’t work: only a black screen few seconds then stops. Please respect your customers **Developer response:** "70s timeout is full screen faces only. Try our 1000s of complication faces that always stay on! help@getwatchmaker.com" ### 1/5 — マイ文字盤に表示されない *2026-07-15* 2000円払ったがApple Watchに表示はされるが一度腕を下げるとデフォルトの文字盤に戻る マイ文字盤にも表示されない あくまでアプリを起動してる一瞬だけ マイ文字盤には登録されないのか？ それだけなら全く価値なし **Developer response:** We're sorry for this experience. Please contact help@getwatchmaker.com for direct help getting your face working properly on your watch. ### 1/5 — Predatory *2026-07-15, version 10.2.6* May as well be a paid app, 99% of faces are premium and other features you also have to pay for ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-06-26, version 10.2.5* I had used this app previously and it was great but now it has been changed so that the face doesn’t save to your faces on the phone instead it is only on the watch and doesn’t stay “on” time is limited by the watch. Wasted my money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Making faces *2026-08-14, version 10.2.7* Great to use and make new watch designs. ### 5/5 — New watch faces *2026-07-16, version 10.2.6* An excellent app ### 5/5 — Great *2026-06-18, version 10.2.4* Great watch face app! Easy to use, lots of stylish designs, and plenty of customization options. The watch faces look fantastic and run smoothly. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to personalize their smartwatch. ### 5/5 — App crashes on iOS 26 *2026-06-04, version 10.2.0* Every time I open this app the black screen shows and nothing and app crashes every time I open fix pls ### 5/5 — Not so great…if it doesn’t work *2026-05-16, version 10.1.5* I paid money for this app and all I get is an images of a bunch of watch faces that do not stay on. I reached out to the app and received no help. Just images of a lot more watch faces that will never work. Don’t waste your money ### 5/5 — ΑΙΞΟ *2026-04-26, version 10.1.1* So far amazing ### 5/5 — Watch face *2026-04-14, version 10.0.8* Just love being able to change for the seasons and also using the step counter and the health monitor. ### 5/5 — Dope *2026-03-13, version 9.1.1* Best app on the Play Store for custom watch faces. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-03-05, version 9.1.1* Love this app beautiful and way worth the price! ### 5/5 — Dope *2026-03-01, version 9.0.9* Best app on the Play Store for custom watch faces. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
