Connect to your WhatsApp account via your IOS app.” Both phone and watch synced and on blue tooth and also been rebooted multiple times... Completely frustrating that I have purchased in good faith this app and now reading reviews that this has been going on for a while. Apple please investigate this!!!! ### 1/5 — App not working *2020-01-03, version 1.6* App was working when I first installed it but not anymore. it won’t let me reply to conversations on my watch and now I can’t get it to sync my conversations anymore. Please fix the app ### 1/5 — What a waste *2019-12-08, version 1.6* Can't do anything with the app. Just a blank page with a continue button then a loading screen, then back to the continue page. Absolute waste of money ### 1/5 — Probably great...if it would pair *2019-11-19, version 1.6* Keep getting an error, unable to pair. Paid for the app, and trying the pair the wrist app with the WhatsApp....well....nothing, would love to give it nothing stars, as it’s been a complete waste of money, and time...lots of time. (Been trying for weeks, randomly to get it to work) ### 1/5 — Fooled by “better reviews” *2019-11-09, version 1.6* This app is not helpful. I have updated my iPhone and Apple Watch and tried to connect WhatsApp through this app *multiple* times. It’s been a waste of my day. With no help or hope. It keeps saying it’s trying to connect and to make sure WiFi and Bluetooth are on and phone is nearby. I thought paying for an app would guarantee success. But it doesn’t work. They are making a lot of money for an app that doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2019-10-31, version 1.6* This the second time I download it and it stays on connecting on the watch and on my phone it's a white screen that say connect on screen nothing else happens stays there I was really excited to see if this app would've worked 😏 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-10-27, version 1.5* No matter how many resets, reloads and manipulations the watch indicates loading conversations and nothing ever happens. Total waist of time and complete rip off. I will try to reload after time passes but I dread it already. I just tried four a fifth attempt and same result. App developer, can you tell us what is going on? Clearly you have a major problem that almost every reviewer can attest to. What is the fix? ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2019-10-08, version 1.5* I paid for this app a week ago. I have reset my watch, reset the app and still nothing. Every time I go into the app either it’s loading my conversations, my Bluetooth isn’t connected, or I’m not in range of my device. I have done EVERYTHING to get this app started. It shows on my phone that the app has been connected l, it shows complication on my phone under my Apple watch app, I open the app on my watch it’s constantly spinning for conversation. I want to remove this app completely and get my money back. This is HORRIBLE ### 1/5 — Dont buy. *2019-10-04, version 1.5* I purchased this app hoping it would actually work, as soon as i launched the app it says ' set up apple watch with whatsapp, or launch the whatsapp app on your apple watch ' while the apple watch has no app that can be downloaded not worth the money. ### 1/5 — Won’t sync *2019-09-25, version 1.4* The app which I paid for won’t sync. I emailed the developer for help saw another review that said hard to sync but info on how they finally got it to sync. Would like it to sync or get my money back ### 1/5 — Unable to connect *2019-09-11, version 1.4* This app isn’t worth getting. I have tried connecting several times and it doesn’t work. I tried every trouble shooting advice given. Doesn’t work. Until they can fix, not worth a cent. ### 1/5 — Problem *2019-09-03, version 1.4* I’ve been trying to pair/scan the QR bar and just won’t scan What is going on ? Keep showing me could not sign me in please try again later I’ve been trying for hours now ### 1/5 — Garbage *2019-08-05, version 1.3* I just bought the app and it won’t go pass the pairing just says come back later unable to pair it. I have turn off my cell and watch a few times and nothing seems to work a redound would be much better. Hate to pay for apps that don’t work ### 1/5 — App does not load *2019-08-03, version 1.3* Have purchased app. It errors out when trying to setup so very frustrating. Have contacted their support for app by email. Will see if responds and I can get operational on this really want it to work!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work don’t buy *2019-07-30, version 1.3* I tried now for two days to get this to work and it just want sync up. I read the first positive reviews and have always been happy with WhatsApp so I thought sure I will pay $3. I’m disappointed and recommend not buy this app. ### 1/5 — Won’t link to phone *2019-07-11, version 1.2* I am having the exact same issues as others after reading the comments in more detail. Everything is showing a connection and I can get through the QR screen, the connections and even to the point that is says it’s loading conversations. However, after a little time it goes back to saying there is no IOS connection. I hate I spent the 3 dollars at this point... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2022-08-24, version 2.1* At first it work but after 2 weeks it don’t load the messages it only loads and nothing at all and I had to pay for it ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE app plus they take FOREVER to respond after a complain *2021-07-04, version 2.1* Messages comes through at times but I can never see my contacts ### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect *2021-02-04, version 2.1* I tried to connect the WhatsApp application to my I watch and it doesn’t work.

And I paid 2,99 for the app ### 1/5 — Never worked *2020-09-13, version 2.0* Two days waiting and messages still loading even when it says it is connected. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Not working *2020-05-29, version 2.0* Don’t waste your money on this app. I purchased it and conversation is loading forever. I reset my watch, my iPhone, my WhatsApp but this useless app is not working. Waste of my time and money. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-05-26, version 2.0* This app is rubbish, can’t believe I paid for it, just to delete it. Would give it zero stars but unfortunately that is not an option. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Complete waste of $3 *2020-04-28, version 1.7* If you feel like setting 3 dollar bills on fire, then download this app. Does not work at all. Freezes when trying to connect to WhatsApp. Tried multiple attempts over several days with resets/updated software/connect to power etc. Contacted developer multiple times without a response. Will have to dispute the charge with my credit card company now. ### 1/5 — RAMIZ *2020-03-11, version 1.7* After greeting and peace I have bought wirstApp for whats But it did not download Apple iPhone 5 Hi, full use of the download method, and does it work during the hour or does not work.

So they’re stilling our money . I don’t understand why apple permits this app on they’re Store ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Don’t buy! *2019-11-30, version 1.6* Please don’t waste your money like I did. The app does not work. Por favor no gasten su dinero; no funciona. ### 5/5 — Still waiting... *2019-06-04, version 1.1* I checked out this app and figured it might be the best one in the App Store, however I am still waiting after two days for it to load my conversations. ### 4/5 — App works fine but needs improvements *2019-08-29, version 1.3* The app was a little tricky to get synced but once it was it has worked fine ever since. You can respond to whats app messages when you receive them but you cannot initiate a message like you can with regular texting. If you use whats app frequently (i do) - you’ll want this app for your apple watch. I do encourage the developer to keep making improvements. ### 4/5 — Update improvement *2019-07-14, version 1.3* After the update I was able to see all my conversations from my watch. It works perfectly!!.Im glad I didn’t remove the app from my phone. Thank you! ### 2/5 — Terrible *2021-07-23, version 2.1* I’ll still try to use this app but pairing this is nothing I paid for my watch not pairing unless these people make the pairing on my Apple Watch work I’ll be happy but right now I’m not happy with the pairing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
