★★★★★

Sean Wells

Works great. I started using it a couple years ago, and it was a little unreliable when put into background mode. Either through improvements in the app and/or Android, it's rock solid now (mid 2023). Setup can potentially be a pain, but my experience was straightforward and only took a few minutes of making sure the proper permissions were granted on the phone and watch.

Maps projected to the watch become too difficult to read and the functions provided are too limited. All in all, I prefer to use mobile phone navigation.

Turns on my watch navigation when I'm in my car and runs down my watch battery. In response to the developer, as I mentioned, the settings on the ohone are not helpful. I use android auto and do not want my watch to take priority over it. I have it switched to off, but it doesn't turn it off. When I had auto start turned off I could not get maps/location to woek on the watch at all. Again.. making the app useless.
