One of the most useful apps on my Galaxy Watch 4!!! I installed it for the music player, but the other features are also really cool. Previously I had the problem that I couldn't start my music from my watch on the phone. And I wanted to listen to music via the watch because that used up far too much battery power. It would work with Spotify anyway, but I only have a YouTube music premium subscription. It is also nice to like, dislike, repeat and shuffle songs.

Opaque installation that requires high level permissions. Some permissions require a sideload app, and the sideloaded app requires yet another system level install downloaded as a zip file from GitHub. The install says the app needs to be on both the phone and the watch, yet when I installed from the watch app selection, the only visible install came onto my phone. I saw nothing on the on the watch. I unistalled the sideload. Uninstalling the app more difficult because of its system status.

It's a good app, it's just too bad i cant turn off wifi and data. I did everything the guide said with how to get it to work. I had USB debugging on and the file worked. It said done but when I checked the app it still said it didn't. Disappointed.
