This app has horrible connection I’ve used it on multiple runs and it never plays more than 2 songs also I will make a simple 5 song playlist on the SoundCloud app to run to and it can’t even load it, everytime I press the playlist it goes from 5 songs to 0 and then plays the same 2 songs I played on my very first run I’ve tried deleting and redownloading to no avail and I know it’s not a weak cellular connection because I run around a local community college that has a cell tower right on it and have full bar connection at all times. Also I’m using an ultra 3 Apple Watch.

Response from developer

I’m sorry WatchCloud has been frustrating to use on your runs, and thanks for the detailed report. WatchCloud uses SoundCloud’s API, which doesn’t provide access to every track available in SoundCloud’s own app. That could explain some missing songs, but I’d like to investigate the playlist dropping to zero and the same two tracks repeating. Could you send me the SoundCloud playlist link by email (watchcloud.app@gmail.com) or post it on the Discussions page? That will help me check whether this is a track availability issue or a bug in WatchCloud.

Great alternative

Great alternative for listening to SoundCloud while on the go - I use it on outdoor workouts when I only take my watch with me.

I had some issues where it would lose my login info and require reauthentication but these seem resolved now. Dev is very responsive.

Response from developer

Sorry, that is frustrating, especially during a workout. Version 2.3.0 includes fixes for login/session reliability, so please update and reconnect once from the phone or watch. After that, WatchCloud should be more reliable when you head out without your phone. If it still asks you to sign in repeatedly, please contact me through support.

Login issue

Why most times I need to re login again on apple watch ???

Response from developer

Sorry about this. The latest update includes fixes for cases where WatchCloud could ask you to sign in again more often than expected. Please update to version 2.3.0 and try reconnecting once. If it still happens after that, contact me through the support link so I can look into it.

Keeps losing login info

For the 3rd time in a week, I went to open the app while on an outdoor workout and it asked me again to log in from my phone - which is impossible to do from the tiny browser. I don’t bring my phone on workouts and that’s the whole point of me needing this app. So for my use case, it’s not reliable.

Stopped working

Stopped working last week or so! Needs iPhone in close proximity otherwise it stops and looks for the phone with a small red phone symbol. Was working fine pre that!

Response from developer

WatchCloud streams from SoundCloud, so the watch still needs an internet connection through Wi‑Fi or cellular when your phone is not nearby. If the watch has no connection, it may look for the phone instead. If you do have Wi‑Fi or cellular available and it still stops working, please contact me through support so I can help troubleshoot.

What are the key features of WatchCloud?

Key features include phone-free streaming over Wi-Fi or cellular, native watch controls for playback (play/pause, skip, like, shuffle), precise Digital Crown scrubbing, search and discovery for tracks and artists, ad-free playback, and quick action controls.

How much does WatchCloud cost?

WatchCloud is a one-time purchase application. There are no subscriptions required to use its features, making it a straightforward purchase for users.

To use WatchCloud, you need a SoundCloud account, an active internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular), and an Apple Watch Series 4/SE or newer running watchOS 10 minimum. The app is designed to work independently of your iPhone.
