### 1/5 — idiotic design

*2026-07-01, version 3.5.0*

immediately refunding this garbage app, why do i have to accept & select the artist & album of every damn song? i’m not spending an hour transporting all my files when other apps do it instantly

### 5/5 — いいね

*2026-06-05*

いいね👍

### 5/5 — Works exactly as expected

*2026-05-10*

I needed a way to play AI generated educational podcasts on my watch. This did the job flawlessly.

### 1/5 — 差评

*2026-05-09*

手机导入手表上的音频文件使用该软件无法播放，无论是MP3格式还是M4格式，但是该音频在手机上能用该软件播放

### 5/5 — this app is actually good

*2026-05-07, version 3.5.0*

Didn’t expect it to work but it actually works. It’s quite simple to use. I recommend 👉👈👉👈👉👈

### 4/5 — It's your best option.

*2026-04-19*

When you can't have your iPhone nearby, this allows us to listen to whatever audio files solely on your watch. It's not 5 stars because the transfer speed is abysmal, but it's the best app out there for this niche situation.

### 3/5 — Can’t bulk upload?

*2026-04-18, version 3.5.0*

Why do I have to manually accept every song I upload?

### 1/5 — Transfer from Google Drive did not work

*2026-04-03, version 3.5.0*

Could not transfer any files. And there’s no documentation for how it should work.

### 5/5 — Terrific app

*2026-03-22*

Can leave iPhone behind finally….

### 5/5 — Danke dafür! Ein echter Geheimtip

*2026-03-14*

Durchdacht bis zum letzten Punkt. Echt eine Bereicherung.
