### 4/5 — Mi opinión

*2025-01-12*

Me gustaría q se pudieran hacer y recibir llamadas tanto de audio como de cámara 🫶🏽😍💪🏽

**Developer response:** Lamentablemente, debido a las limitaciones de la plataforma, no ofrecemos esta función, pero te avisaremos si esto cambia en el futuro. / Unfortunately, due to platform limitations, we do not offer this feature, but we will let you know if this changes in the future.

### 3/5 — Razoável

*2025-01-09*

Eu não fico nem uma hora conectado com app e eu paguei o plano anual o meu e um séries 3

**Developer response:** Está à procura de um reembolso? Se for o caso, consulte esta página. https://watchtalk.chat/faq / Are you looking for a refund? If so, see this page. https://watchtalk.chat/faq

### 4/5 — É bom sim!

*2024-10-13*

Mas não possui suporte de áudio pra português... Pelo menos não consegui ativar. 🥹

**Developer response:** If you are referring to voice message, the recorded voice will be sent as audio message. You will need to grant permission for recording. If it doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall and you will see the permission window.

If you're referring to dictating, this is a feature provided by watchOS itself. https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/apdaf7837856/watchos

### 1/5 — No me permite hacer el pago mensual

### 1/5 — zero stelle

*2024-09-03*

applicazione imbarazzante per essere a pagamento nel 2024 .. non ha le notifiche .. il refresh è manuale quindi se vuoi leggere i nuovi messaggi devi: aprire l’applicazione, fare tap sul tastino refresh e poi aspettare un tempo interminabile per ricevere i nuovi messaggi e se nel frattempo si spegne lo schermo del tuo apple watch devi ricominciare daccapo .. e poi non esiste la funzione di ricerca dei contatti .. qui se se vuoi leggere un messaggio più vecchio non ti resta che fare scrolling .. lento e scattoso .. dirottare su altre app .. ci vuole per trovarne di molto migliori rispetto a questa!

**Developer response:** Hello. When used in Pairing mode, the basic features are still available for free. Push notifications are only available in Cloud mode for technical reasons. Refreshing is automatic. Just wait and it will update. You only need to press the refresh button if this doesn't work. Contacts are sorted by name, but we'll think of a better way, thanks.

### 5/5 — The only app that allows WhatsApp on the watch without an iPhone nearby

*2024-07-28*

The best thing: It enables viewing chats and responding with audio and text on the Apple watch without an iPhone nearby. However, it still lacks a better interface for selecting a contact and sending a message. Also, some types of messages do not reach the watch: text attached to images and videos are suppressed, and messages with only http links are neither sent nor notified. Another downside: the plan in cloud mode is expensive for my country. The price of R$ 49 (reais) per month to have WhatsApp on the wrist is the same as a cell phone plan in Brazil. To succeed in Brazil, this price needs to be regionalized.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you appreciate the ability to use WhatsApp on your Apple Watch without needing an iPhone nearby. We understand your concerns regarding the contact selection interface and message types that are not supported, and we’ll consider these for future updates. Regarding the pricing, we are continuously working on making adjustments to cater to different regions. Please reach out to us directly at support@bitsbaker.com so we can discuss your thoughts further. Your input is valuable to us!

### 1/5 — Não atualiza nem a pau

*2026-04-16*

Totalmente insatisfeito. Indignado por ter assinado.. dinheiro jogado fora… lento, não atualiza em segundo plano (a nao ser q vc seja bem atoa pra ficar olhando pro relógio esperando ele atualizar. Decepção.

**Developer response:** Temos realmente a pena de que esteja tendo esse problema. A falta de atualizações em segundo plano é uma limitação do watchOS. Em vez disso, vamos reduzir a latência das atualizações. | We’re truly sorry you’re experiencing it. The lack of background updates is a limitation of watchOS. Instead, we're going to shorten the update latency.

### 1/5 — It’s tremendously expensive

*2025-06-05*

Unless they provide a one time lifetime fee for this app, it’s too expensive not worthy. It works with cellular , you can live your phone at home and use only your Apple Watch, the problem is that it connects to google chrome on safari and your information it’s uploaded to the developers cloud , I wish it uses safari and rely on iCloud . Somehow it makes me feel unsafe and it’s very expensive

Update: many Apple Watch WhatsApp works now with cellular and without the need of paying any additional. There is no need of a cloud, I don’t know what is the developer saying here because other developer do offer the possibility of using it with WiFi or cellular

**Developer response:** The basic functionality of Pairing mode, which requires an iPhone to work with Apple Watch, is free for life. You only pay for voice messages, quick replies, etc. Cloud mode is paid and relatively expensive because it works with a separate server, and we must pay for the server so that it can work without your iPhone. All data in Pairing mode remains only on your iPhone and Apple Watch. Data in Cloud mode is stored on the server and Apple Watch, and all data on the server is securely stored and deleted when you log out.

### 1/5 — Man kommt nicht aus der Sprachnachricht raus

*2025-01-02*

Wenn ich eine Sprachnachricht anhöre, dann komme ich da nicht mehr zurück. Es bleibt immer nur das Fenster zum abhören der Sprachnachricht offen, auch wenn ich aus der App raus und wieder rein gehe. Muss dazu immer die Uhr dann neustarten, und selbst danach bleibt er trotzdem manchmal in der Sprachnachricht. Wie komme ich dort raus? Apple Watch 10

**Developer response:** Der Fehler wird auf dem neuesten watchOS nicht reproduziert. Könnten Sie versuchen, auf watchOS 11.2 zu aktualisieren? Wenn Sie immer noch Probleme haben, wenden Sie sich bitte an support@bitsbaker.com. / The bug is not reproduced on the latest watchOS, could you try updating to watchOS 11.2?
