Great app, does what it says. I would rate 5 stars but the app drains way too much battery. It keeps working in the background and consumes more than me binging reels or youtube videos. Hope this will be fixed soon.

The best app to control your phone through your watch. I've been using this for around a year and I can politely say this is one of the best apps I've used. I can easily create a Hotspot without having to pull out my phone from my pocket, I can turn off and on my Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Data, and my flashlight too! Update 2025-12-12: This is still one of, if not, my most favorite app and app developer. It's the best.

I greatly appreciate that this provides the exact appearance and functionality I want for my watch's media controller and recently lost with the Samsung UI 8 update. Highly recommended if you miss the way things used to appear and function.
