Save your money

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.

ANA new update is needed

Add a QR code for watch

Hello! The app seems cool but I can’t sign in as I only have an iPad and my watch is paired with a broken phone and I wish there was a qr to sign in

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.

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 ???

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!

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.

Wunderschönes Design

Vielen Dank für die tolle Bewertung! Es freut mich sehr, dass dir das Design von WatchCloud gefällt. Ich arbeite weiterhin daran, die App noch besser zu machen.

Needs work

Good app, but could use a few updates. Specifically the shuffle feature, which closes the app every time I try to shuffle a playlist.

Hallo, es tut mir leid, dass die Anmeldung nicht geklappt hat. Der Login kann einmalig über die iPhone-Begleitapp erfolgen. Nach dem „Connect“ wird die Watch-App direkt verbunden und ist sofort einsatzbereit. E-Mail, Google und Apple werden unterstützt. Wenn es weiterhin nicht klappt, bitte über den Support-Link melden, dann helfe ich sofort weiter.

Scam

This app is a scam, there’s quite literally no reason to download this, it does nothing but play SoundCloud music really slowly and laggy, there is already a SoundCloud app for the watch and it does everything this one does and better AND it’s free, and if you’re thinking you’ll get this one to download music, don’t. It doesn’t allow downloading music, scam

Sorry you had a frustrating experience. WatchCloud is a third-party SoundCloud streaming player for Apple Watch, including standalone playback over Wi-Fi or cellular. A quick clarification: WatchCloud does not advertise offline downloads. If playback was slow or laggy, it can be related to Watch network conditions. Contact support via the App Store page with your connection type and watchOS version and I’ll help troubleshoot.

Amazing SoundCloud app for the watch!

I was looking for a way to listen to SoundCloud while running without also carrying my phone and came across this app. After logging in I was able to access all the tracks and playlists I have saved in my SoundCloud library and the app played music without a problem, similar to the watch app from Spotify.
Keep up the great work!

Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the app. The search feature has been added to the latest app version! Don't hesitate to reach out if there are other features you'd like to see 🤠🤙

Three Major Issues

1) It keeps on automatically signing out of the app on my phone (hence the watch app is also automatically signed out as well);

2) There are no options to have the next music to automatically play, and hence I must stop my workout or put myself in distraction and potential danger (especially during cardio exercise) to be able to press for the same or next song to play;

3) The longer songs automatically stop playing after a few minutes;

THIS IS A GREAT APP., so PLEASE FIX IT ASAP!

Old Comment: Amazing! Literally just amazing! Delivered exactly as advertised! Wish many more people knew about this amazing app.

Tolle neue Spulen - Funktionen

Letztes Update habe ich nur durch neu installieren der App durch Zufall bekommen, die neuen Spulen-Funktionen sind wirklich super. Das umschalten zwischen Wlan Verbindung über das Handy und mobiles Netz auf der Apple Watch, sorgt leider immer wieder mal für längere Wiedergabe Stopps, sonst läuft die App aber einwandfrei.

Update: Die App hat Probleme beim laden des letzten länger gehörten Set‘s. Es leiert Minuten lang ohne zu starten oder es ist nicht möglich Play zu drücken, oft hilft nur mehrmaliges neu starten der App oder ein komplett neues Set auszuwählen. Wahrscheinlich Probleme die letzte, gespeicherte Stelle wieder zu finden und abzuspielen. Bitte noch fixen!

App Doesn’t Work

Signed in okay, as I go offline the app doesn’t play music or work.

Response from developer

Hi! Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for trying WatchCloud. WatchCloud is a streaming player and requires an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection on Apple Watch. It does not support offline downloads, so playback will stop if the Watch goes out of coverage or into Airplane Mode. If you email watchcloud.app@gmail.com, I’ll be happy to help you get playback working reliably.

Great app!

It’s hard to imagine SoundCloud doing this any better themselves! I’ve tried a few watch based SoundCloud solutions over the years and this is the best one. There have been some bugs but the developer is really responsive and fixes issues quickly. Great work, thanks again!

Great player !

Glad I found this app a while ago - it allows me to go running without my iPhone, and listen to DJ sets that I gather on my iPhone.
I really like the UI, it looks like an official version. I recommend !

Thank you for the kind words and recommendation! I’m so glad WatchCloud lets you head out for runs without your iPhone and enjoy your favorite DJ sets. I really appreciate the feedback on the UI, too. If you ever have ideas or run into anything, feel free to reach out via Support in the app. Thanks again! - Ryan

Bug?

Was absolutely loving this app for a few months since I’m not able to take my phone into work i use this app to access all of my SoundCloud playlists. As of last week i haven’t been able to access anything. It would do this before if i didn’t have good service on my watch but all i had to do was reset the app or reset the Cellular then it was back to normal. Really hoping you guys can get this fixed ASAP because i absolutely love this app for work.
