This app has never been tested or the developer does not care. Or, my credentials are on the dark web, which seems likely when you look at it. Poor judgement on my part. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-01-04* Followed all instructions carefully, it just doesn’t work. Watch says I’m not logged in, but iPhone app says I am. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-12-26, version 1.6* This doesn’t work, I can’t even login. Also why does an app for Apple not use a compatible web browser? ### 1/5 — No working *2025-12-21, version 1.6* Can’t set it up changed my password logged in and multiple times it’s not linking to my ultra 3 ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-11-03* Logged in on phone but kept telling me I’m not logged in - doesn’t even work ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2025-10-01, version 1.6* App does not work I have the newest everything it says I’m logged in but won’t show anything just says not logged in ### 1/5 — Should be removed from App Store because it does not work *2025-09-21* After looking around, I’ve seen that a lot of people with iOS 18 or above have not been able to get this to work. It should be removed if it is nonfunctional. From what I have seen, the Developer has not even replied to people that have emailed them so this is a useless app and should be removed from the App Store ### 1/5 — Blah *2025-08-24, version 1.6* Doesn’t work at all ### 1/5 — App needs update *2025-08-04, version 1.6* App currently dead app ### 2/5 — Horibble *2025-07-23, version 1.6* Won’t connect to my watch at all, no matter how many times I log into my Facebook ### 1/5 — Doesnt work *2025-07-11, version 1.6* The app crashes it doesnt work ### 1/5 — Problem with browser *2025-06-15, version 1.6* Won’t let me log in It just shows search engines ### 1/5 — Connection *2025-06-04, version 1.6* No matter what I do it says I’m not logged in ### 1/5 — Damn *2025-06-01* I would have put 0 stars but could not !

Doesn’t work at all no matter what I did. Just kept saying I wasn’t logged in. Garbage. Apple needs to remove this from their App Store. It’s 🗑️ ### 1/5 — WatchMessage *2026-05-06, version 1.6* Not impressed why can’t I get it to work? ### 1/5 — If I could give it zero stars, I would *2026-04-04, version 1.6* Tried for 35 minutes to get logged in and kept telling me to check my phone app wouldn’t work I’d login.

Connect to the watch. ### 1/5 — Useless don’t bother *2026-03-18, version 1.6* I’ve tried everything and even messaged for help etc and still hasn’t worked once which is a real shame really wanted it to work I miss the old Facebook messenger on my watch ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-03-03, version 1.6* Don’t bother ### 1/5 — No response to why it won’t work for me *2026-01-28* Supposedly the developer is “quick to respond to emails” yet I haven’t received ONE response to any of my emails. I’m really trying to give these apps a chance because I need Messenger on my watch. But if I can’t get help I’ll just delete. ### 1/5 — Abandoned *2026-01-22, version 1.6* This was a great app when it actually worked, but it has been broken for a long time, and the developer is clearly no longer working on it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So far *2024-07-25* Love this app so far I’ve had it for a few days now and everything seems ok just an issue with some names not show up but other then that it’s a great app ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2024-02-12* My watch wasn’t letting me reply to messages I emailed the email provided got an immediate response helping me with the issue at hand and very friendly customer service ### 5/5 — WatchMessage P5 *2024-01-18, version 1.5* Best solution for getting your Facebook messages on your phone, brilliant, definitely download this app for the fastest solution. ### 5/5 — A must have app *2024-01-16, version 1.5* Great app …this way I can see messages without my phone.
