Very cool

Would love to see support for some input methods like buttons and number boxes though

Can't wait for the update!

This app is great and has some really cool features. But I know that the developer is working on some new features for watchOS 2!

This app is great.

As a developer, there are some metrics that I always want to keep an eye on. I was going to create an Apple Watch app to handle this for me, but with Watchlets, I don’t have to. It’s a great way for someone technical to get whatever information they’d like on their Watch, without having to keep up with the changing Apple SDKs, rebuilding their app when Apple makes breaking changes.

Works like a charm!!

Had my first feed implemented in just a few minutes. If you have a web server, you can easily create custom data feeds to be displayed on your Apple watch.
Developer support by quickly answering questions earns an A+ rating in my opinion.

Nice app!

I wanted a way to have access to information about my server status and was quickly able to create a JSON output that this app could use. Works great!
