Pleaes update to the latest version that brings bug fixes and stability improvements. ### 5/5 — Still not working *2019-06-10* The app is still not working. How can I get my $1.99 refund? **Developer response:** Hi there, please update to the latest version released today (version 1.3) which fixes the indefinite loading issue faced by some users.

WristMail is a lifesaver!!! Thank you!!! **Developer response:** Hi there, we appreciate the review - thanks! ### 4/5 — TH *2020-01-24* When I purchased the app it was not working. However the bugs have been corrected and it is working perfectly at this time. **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for the review! We work very had to bring you the best experience possible! ### 4/5 — Does not work *2019-10-06* This application did work at first when installed, but the next day, I found it working without having done anything on the watch or the iPhone. May be it is due to some changes I made to my Gmail account configuration, but I really don’t know what. After installation, messages were all scrambled html code. Now it’s working fine, displaying messages much sooner than Gmail on my PC. I will add a 5th star when it will allow sending emails like the Apple mail client. ### 4/5 — Wristmail *2019-07-26* App used to work but now it just shows that is loading mail. I don’t get it. I tried to uninstall and re install and same problem. Sort of worthless to have if it is not going to work. Walkie talkie app is worthless as well. **Developer response:** Hi there, please update to the latest version released today (version 1.3) which fixes the indefinite loading issue faced by some users. I sincerely apologize for the bug and hope you find that all is in order after the update. Cheers! ### 3/5 — Only one account? *2019-09-21* I need the ability to sync multiple accounts. The app appears to only allow one account. Doesn’t really solve my problem. **Developer response:** Hi there, at the moment we only support single accounts. Multi account support is coming in the future. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
