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? ### 4/5 — Does the job, transfers slow *2026-01-09, version 3.4.0* Fulfills something that should be an inbuilt feature of the Apple Watch, a pain to have to pay for this, but at least it’s cheap. The operation is simple, although the transfer process is not the smoothest, be prepared to spend a lot of time if you want to transfer a lot of files (I found turning off wifi on my phone and keeping the screen on helped). ### 5/5 — Legit works like a charm *2026-01-07, version 3.4.0* There isn’t many reviews for the apps so I was skeptical at first but to my surprise it’s just what I needed for offline music on my Apple Watch ### 5/5 — Works great and let’s you play music through speaker on Apple Watch SE *2025-12-01* Works great to transfer music from your iPhone to your Apple Watch and it lets you play music through the speaker on an Apple Watch SE which you cannot otherwise currently do. ### 5/5 — WatchAudio *2025-11-19, version 3.4.0* 🐐 ### 5/5 — Great!!!! *2025-11-19, version 3.4.0* Works. Thanks!!! ### 5/5 — Really good *2025-10-31, version 3.4.0* Thanks ### 5/5 — 良い *2025-10-26* 改善しました、 素晴らしいアプリです、待ち焦がれていたアプリです、ありがとうございます！感謝します！ ### 4/5 — Customisable Playback & input bookmarks *2025-10-25, version 3.4.0* I love this app for a stand alone Apple Watch app. But I wish there wat a way to increase the playback more than 15 seconds and add bookmarks and notes to audiobooks ### 2/5 — Transfer Process is flawed *2025-10-18* The first time I use this app, it was relatively good however, the most recent update doesn’t seem to be working as well as the past where I’m trying to transfer one file from Apple iCloud Drive in the app and it’s repeatedly telling me that the app is not the latest version which it is and then it initiates the transfer, however, it does not repeat repeatedly search that one file now I was trying to transfer four times which is obviously not working very disappointed. I was hoping this would be the way that I could transfer large MP3 files, but this doesn’t seem to be cutting it ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-10-09, version 3.3.0* Might unironically be the best thing to happen to the Apple Watch. Super easy to set-up and a generous one-time purchase set up. Being able to transfer music files without compressing them into the lowest quality possible like every DSP seems to force on the Apple Watch has been very much NEEDED. Thank you dev. ### 5/5 — FINALLY! *2025-09-27* After spending hours struggling to get Apple’s execrable music app to accept my self-recorded MP3’s, add them to a playlist and share them to my other devices - only to have them to inexplicably disappear, I went looking for a decent alternative. Maybe a way to play them on my Apple Watch so I don’t need to wear a fanny pack when out walking? BINGO - WatchAudio. It “just works” and it’s super reasonably priced. Thankful to this dev for solving my music listening problems! ### 5/5 — 单曲循环？ *2025-09-22* 我没发现单曲循环，我非常需要单曲循环，就连我同学的小米watch3都有单曲循环，这个必须也要有，至于说这个不好用的只是他们不会用，真的很好用的 I didn’t find the single loop feature, and I really need it. Even my classmate's Xiaomi Watch 3 has it. This one definitely needs to have it too. As for people saying it’s not user-friendly, it's just that they don't know how to use it. It's actually really useful! ### 5/5 — Exactly what I’ve been looking for *2025-09-02, version 3.3.0* Can’t believe this isn’t functionality built into the watch by Apple. This app does everything I need to reduce the time I spend on my phone without really sacrificing anything. Very consumer friendly, one-time payment with a 14 day free trial that doesn’t charge you once it ends. Would be great to have a percentage read statistic somewhere to keep track of that if I need to listen to the same book on a different device. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Sorry *2026-03-07, version 3.4.0* Added a big mp3 to try (332 MB). Left in on the screen for an hour. Never finished adding. Gotta call that a fail. ### 1/5 — Has kinks *2026-01-17, version 3.4.0* Slow in uploading ### 1/5 — 15 free songs now down to 10 *2025-04-30, version 3.2.0* Very impressed with this app, but very annoyed that 15 free songs are now reduced to 10. ### 1/5 — 不能用 *2025-04-21* 垃圾，根本不行 ### 1/5 — Series 3 does not work *2024-12-29, version 3.1.1* Requires watch os 9 which Apple Watch series 3 does not have. ### 1/5 — 云盘不能二次同步刷新 *2024-12-08* 你们的这个软件有严重的缺陷，只能第一次同步i Cloud云盘！删掉APP重新安装也无法多次同步云盘！ ### 1/5 — Transfers always fail *2024-11-16, version 3.1.1* App is non usable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 👉👈👉👈👉👈 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Revision Suggestions *2026-02-11* Hello, I’ve encountered an issue with file transfer in your app and would like to report it. When transferring files from my iPhone to Apple Watch, the transfer speed is quite slow, and the number of transferring files is shown at the bottom. For example, I imported 10 files to transfer, but there was no progress at all. I then deleted these 10 files. However, the app still showed those 10 files as transferring at the bottom even after deletion. Later I imported another 10 new files, and the app then showed 20 files transferring in total. The new 10 files transferred normally, but the old 10 deleted tasks remained stuck. They showed no progress, could not be cleared, and kept taking up storage space on my iPhone. Could you please look into this issue? Thank you very much for your help! ### 5/5 — Revision Suggestions *2026-02-05* I think this app is really helpful to me. But it would be great if you could add the same skip controls as podcast apps—like skipping forward 15 seconds or backward 15 seconds—for podcasts and audiobooks. And for regular songs, keep the standard music app behavior: play next or previous track. ### 5/5 — Very good app! *2026-02-02* It needs no additional comment. Just use it ### 5/5 — 最高！ *2026-01-27* SE2でもスピーカー再生でき最高！ ### 5/5 — 好 *2026-01-17* 就是好，没得说 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
