I can not wait for a working Philips Hue app. I am checking the Gear store every few days. A few have been added since but there are either issues with it working on and off or the Widget not working. I need the widget!
Also, a Samsung Multiroom speaker update for Tizen 4! I searched this up before getting the Galaxy Watch and it looks like there is one for Tizen 3 but nothing for Tizen 4 yet.... Boo
What are you waiting for?
Yeah, it's frustrating to see so many apps available for WearOS that are not available on Tizen. I have the LTE enabled Galaxy Watch and would love to be able to leave my phone behind at home sometimes and still have access to the functionality of my favorite apps. Hoping these app developers start getting us some content on Tizen! Here's my wish list: Alert360, Amazon Music, Uber, Lyft, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Skype, Skype for Business, Google Maps.

I thought I knew what I was getting in to when I bought the watch but with many devs not updating their apps, the app list for the Galaxy watch is less than the already sparse Gear S3!
The Spotify app is pretty good so my local music needs are fulfilled but apps like Skype, SfB and Uber would be an excellent addition to the watch.
WhatsApp, I can do with the replying to notifcations. I don't need to look through previous convos.
Google Maps, I paid £1 for a companion app. Works really well for turn by turn navigation. It dosn't give you the birds eye view but it guides very very well and hasn't failed me yet. Start a journey on Google Maps (On your phone) and it will auto start the compantion app on the watch. Its called "Gear Navigation". Free app for watch but paid app app on Google Play.
Having Uber on my wrist.. Might make it too easy!
I think there is an Uber app for Tizen now
Having just transferred from gear s3 to Galaxy watch, ALL my apps (and they are a lot) that were bought for the gear (tizen3) now work for Galaxy watch (tizen4). There is a Phillips hue app in the store and an Uber app too also for Galaxy watch. You may need to change your country store to USA to see them all (there is a topic for this under the gear forum). The Uber app only though works only with a Samsung phone.
I would like to get a podcast app.
Spotify don't have podcasts on the watch app.. Why, just why?..
Audible would be another app, then I can leave my phone @ home.
I believe Tizen has a bigger market share than WearOS now, surely developers will notice?
I talked with customer service at Audible.
They have an app for the apple watch.
I sugested that they make an app for the Galaxy watch too.
They thanked me and forwarded the request.
If there are more Audible customers here, it will probably help if you did the same.
Chat with them here: https://www.audible.com/contactus?n1=something_else&n2=other
Is there any application that I can use for remotely turn on or off Wi-Fi, flash light, sound... On my Samsung device from my Galaxy watch? I think there was some application on Gear S3 but I cannot remember how it calls....

That's the one I looking for. Thanks ?
Personally, I just want an app that stores notification history so that I can access old messages. There is 1 old app called NWS that does this but it drains the watch battery like MAD (5% per hour just from this app).
I am getting so frustrated by the lack of this simple feature that I will either make the app myself or return the watch.

I can't seem to find how to change my store country to US. Can you give me a link or tell me how I can do it? There are two apps which I want from the US country store: Spotify and Twitter Trends.

Hi, please see below, this is one of the several threads on the subject, basically you need a vpn app on your phone to produce a US IP address and the Sim card removed:

Thanks. I've tried it as you said without the sim card and it worked flawlessly. All that's left now is to find more apps to download

I have a Huawei Watch GT 2. I'm running the beta version of Health 10.0.6.022 with a Chinese id. I am trying to figure out how to have the whole app in English. The main page is fine but everything else is in Chinese. I don't speak nor read Chinese. I am using the watch with a Pixel 3 phone, system OS is 10. I can install third party watch faces, no issues. Everything is just in Chinese.
Every time I open Health, it tries to download a language pack that fails.
Any advice? I can change regions but I can't change languages in the app.
got Active 2 and have got watch faces onto it, if i delete the ones which i have paid for or used coupons to download them,
If i delete them form my watch or phone will they be deleted completely or will stay in my galaxy store.
I am trying to do the BP buy it says delete some of the application as not enough memory.
Any way to work around this
many thanks

If you look under receipt's the faces you purchased should be there.
Thanks for the information , I'm using note 10 plus
Just checked and they are there.
1)Will the free watch faces be there as well.
2) what's the best way to delete a watch face from the watch or your phone.
3) how many watch faces should you keep max on your watch to be safe with memory.
4) can you use Google pay on the watch and if yes how.
Hello,
sorry but I rly don't know where I can post this..
I have a huawei watch with a custom watchface installed. Since it took hours to create it today I tried to backup it from the watchmaker app. It appears that the watch face is not present anymore in the app. Is there a way to backup or extract the face from the smartwatch itself?
Thanks
Hello
This is my first venture on this forum!
I have been following the XDA post about how to install Samsung Health Monitor on a Samsung Watch 5 and get it working on my Google Pixel 6 Pro. So far I managed to install the modified app on my phone, and also get the modified app on my watch but when I go into the ECG or Blood Pressure Monitor on my watch and try to connect to my phone I get a pop up on the phone that asks me to confirm my google account, and then when I select the account I get a message saying 'Document Lookup Failed'
Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve this?
Many thanks in advance!
I have a pixel watch, and am very interested in anything health related on modern technology
I'd recommend asking in the general q&a subforum though. I hope you get it working
Have you also installed health connect? You should check it out
