I’d like to give 5 stars, but feel it needs a little more refinement, but for what it costs, it is MORE than worth it. I’d recommend it 100%. So handy alot of times. I have not experienced most of the glitches I’ve read about. More customization would be nice, voices etc. Once in a […]

Great app. I did have an issue with my phone (Note8+Gear S3) GPS not working properly if auto run was NOT turned on. It would route, lose GPS connection and i would have to back out of the route and start again and then it works without dropping. This is while having NavigationPro installed, but […]

The watch app keeps telling me to enable notifications, which I have already done. It also keeps disconnecting from the phone. I would love to be able to use this app but so far I have not had much luck. I was also not refunded the amount that I paid for the app even though […]

Excellent app, does what it’s suppose to. Love the rotation of the app. Two Isssues. 1) The voice could sound better..maybe add different voice options, and speech speed?…It also makes a poping noise when initiating the voice. 2) Every 12 seconds the Navigation screen flashes on/off . Dim settings don’t work either, stays on bright. […]

Overall this is a very handy app, though I think my biggest issue is the fact that it keeps the screen on; I think it should light up for notifications or when you turn your wrist, like the normal watch face. Also if only it could show you a display of the map, but obviously […]

Easy to use minimalistic navigation app. Easy to read and fairly accurate distance measurements. The only reason its not 5 stars is, I have trouble playing music when its open. Everytime my phone reads out the next turn when i have music playing the watch app turns off and my music stops. Doesnt happen when […]

Indispensable app. But you must change settings related to this app and Google Maps going to sleep in the background. Crucially on Samsung phones, go into the power saving menu and do not select a power saving mode. Also turn off ‘Adaptive Power Saving’. (You can always turn it back on when not using Navigation […]

Downloaded this app today and was delighted at how it gives me the information I really need to navigate in super large display. Installation was a snap. I guess if there was anything I could ask for it’s the speed limit in the small font, rather than current time.

Pathetic. Had been using navigation wear free version which was decent. Thought navigation pro will be better, they don’t have trial/free version you have to buy and I did that. Now repenting. The app just failed to connect with mobile. And it made my galaxy s21 ultra crash, the first app to make this power […]

It actually works. I know that’s a low bar but, lots of apps for the watch charge you and don’t, there’s no refund. (From the watch app store) This is great didn’t need to pay for the watch app, then tried the phone app, it worked so I kept it. If it didn’t then before […]

So you first install the “free” app, only then you are told it needs a partner app on your phone, which turns out is not free. Not very elegant. Either make the watch app paid, or notify me up front about the costs. In use: when I’m using it concurrently with the biking app, the […]

this used to work great, now it keeps timing out on watch. I love in CT and when I’m using it it’s twisty roads, narrow shoulders, tight traffic with bad drivers. I need the watch face to always stay on no matter what, and some update has stopped this. I’ve tried a bunch of recommendations […]

Exactly what I was looking for with my smartwatch. I wanted something so I didn’t have to have my phone on for long trips and could get real time directions on my watch and it does that. It even vibrates on your wrist when you get close to your turn/exit. I was a little hesitant […]

This is worth paying for! I usually drive and even though sometimes there is another person with me on the car telling me directions, it’s so confusing and I missed turns because the other person told me to turn early or later, this app helps me immensely whenever I travel. I can drive safely while […]

The app works but has a few flaws that make it unreliable. The watch vibration signaling an upcoming turn happens way to late to be useful. If you navigate to any other application or home screen on your watch the app will no longer alert you at all. When I finish with a different app, […]

This app is a complete let down. Takes forever (up to 10 minutes) to connect to the phone and constantly freezes. This is in turn destroys the battery life of your watch. Occasionally it just compleatly freezes your watch and you have to restart just to operate. Additionally it is basically useless, as the navigation […]

Much more useful and convenient than I originally thought it would be. The only thing I’m not crazy about is how the navigation starts automatically on my watch when navigating with my phone in a vehicle (but I’m also not sure I can’t change that). Otherwise, this is one of the few apps I added […]

The App is outstanding. For those of you thinking that the app doesn’t work on your new Active 2, it’s because you didn’t go through and set all the settings correctly. If you can’t figure things out from the instructions on this page or the app itself, then a simple Google Search will show you […]

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 […]
