Watchsmith for Positive User Reviews

Very interestingThis has got the makings of a superb piece of work. It functions as described and, if various other feeds can be incorporated, will be an absolute winner..Version: 1.0.1

Great update to a truly useful app!Apple has left a lot of room for functionality in what’s presented on the face of Apple Watch, and Watchsmith adds in a big heaping scoop of low hanging fruit. Better and ingenious ways to display information the Watch already has, yet either doesn’t make full use of, or doesn’t offer options for how *you* want to see it. I’ve been using Watchsmith almost since it first came out, and my Watch wouldn’t be the same without it!.Version: 2.0.1

Great app for complicationsDoes what it says on the tin - a great app for complex complications. One ask, Underscore, you mentioned about an Ordnance Survey app in your blog - I have the OS app on my phone but would love to have it on the watch. Any plans to add to this? Or stand alone?.Version: 2.0.2

The Apple Watch HubDavid Smith has really out done himself with this app! Being able to have a scheduled complication that perfectly reflects the data I need at that time of day is just epic. No longer do I have to pick a face that can handle 4 complications just to get more data. I will agree with some reviews that the interface isn’t super intuitive. However once I discovered how everything worked it’s been easy to schedule the complications I need. The scheduling interface works exactly how you want hold and drag to rearrange the time zones. Drag the endpoints to adjust how long a complication will last. Tap on the complication to edit what appears and how it looks. Interact with the interface how IOS has taught you and you’ll find it “just works”. The complications are awesome alone; however, the watch app is actually a really nice hub for all kinds of Apple Watch data: heart rate, weather, calendar, workouts, etc. It’s so nice to have a central location on my watch for all these items to exist. Great job Mr. Smith can’t wait to see how this evolves..Version: 1.0.4

Nice addition to my enjoyment of my Apple Watch 5...Really enjoying using this neat little app which has added a new level of enjoyment when using my Apple Watch S5 44mm. And every time an update is issued it is very much appreciated... But some attention should be paid to what is written about the update. According to this latest update it is meant to fix a problem where buying a subscription “doesn’t apple to your watch”... 😂.Version: 1.0.4

For Pro UsersThis app is not for boomers that struggle setting up their emails or have no idea how to connect to Wi-Fi. This app offers customisation beyond any other app on the market, you can truly set your own unique look on your watch face..Version: 2.0.2

Great app, needs more widgetsAmazing concept and works flawlessly. The only thing the app needs is more complications because the ones they have at the moment are pretty much the same ones as Apple has, just looks a little different..Version: 1.4.1

Massively Improved!!This app has improved by leaps and bounds over where it was last year. I have a gripe or two, but note that I pay for it and use it for the only two complications on my primary watchface. 👍🏻 My two gripes: 1) I can't set the weather to display as My Current Location so that when I travel, it just updates to my current locale. Also, there seems to be a disconnect bt the weather locations on the watch and what's in the app. I don't understand why they're different. 2) At times the complications don't update when I change them using the app. Last time I tired I had to uninstall the watch app and reinstall to get the changes and at that time I noticed the watch app had new functionality. That means it didn't auto update even tho that's my setting for watch apps. All this said, I use it daily and will continue to do so..Version: 2.0.2

Thank you.The most amazing Infograph large calendar complication..Version: 1.0.1

Pleasantly impressedI was hesitant to purchase a premium subscription for this app, but am so glad that I did. The weather complication where I can see more than one day’s data is worth it alone. It’s more informative than what is offered by Apple. Also, the ability to schedule when the complications appear throughout the day is wonderful. In addition you can click on a complication and get more information rather than go into my list of apps. I am excited to see what the developers are able to add to this in the future..Version: 1.4.1

Astonishingly CustomisableI've gone through a bunch of different apps for things like week number and time till sunset. This app replaces them all and let's you choose how you want it to be displayed. The interface is necessarily a little complicated, but the reward is taking your watch face to entirely different level. A cheaper subscription tier, just to be able to say thank you, would be nice. The free tier has everything I need for now..Version: 2.0.2

Simplifies the date complication and others nicelyI preferred the cleaner, easier to read complications instead of those is Watch OS 9. This allowed me to replace them..Version: 2.0.2

For a more complete watchGreat app that lets you add multiple complications and timed to show when you need them. Super helpful responsive developer if you ever have any issues. Love it.Version: 2.0.2

Brilliant functionality but pretty confusing at firstApp works well and makes the Apple Watch more powerful by adding lots of new and useful complications. Only issue is the fact that it’s quite hard to figure out how it all works until you watch the tutorial (which for some reason is hidden in the settings and is not offered immediately on first launch). An interactive tutorial at the start would be even better than a video recording..Version: 2.0.2

Hourly weather in the daily format pleaseI love this complication but don’t use it because it’s by day and not hourly. I’m talking about the Infograph large btw.Version: 2.1.1

Picks up where apple left offAbsolutely awesome app. Makes the complications so much more useful. Having them change by time (location would be a great option too) makes them much more relevant. Turning activity on or off based on when you work out or expect to have rings filled and change to next one is so amazing. Developer: Could you add third party support? And I would like to see “top info graph” added to “meridian” face as well. Having more options to change would be nice. Keep up the good work..Version: 1.0.4

Great App, Even Greater Potential Though!Hello, I absolutely love this app and its capabilities! It is a very much needed third party addition to the device! So, so thankful to finally see something like this on the App Store! However, this has to be a solid 4 star rating because none of the corner complications are not curved text to match the rest of the watch face complications. It’s very distracting. A good example would be the digital time complication, it makes the text much smaller and harder to read. Please fix this if at all possible!! Thank you! Joshua.Version: 1.0.1

What I have been looking for.If you, like me, find yourself frustrated by the rigidity of having to fit Apple’s complication model into your daily routine and needs, this is the solution. David is brilliant, this is brilliant as usual, and I’m grateful to have it..Version: 1.0.1

Pushing the bar for what Apple Watch can do_DavidSmith is really pushing the power of Apple Watch complications with this new app! Time-based triggers allow your complications to change throughout the day — for me, it’s weather when I wake up, my calendar throughout the workday, and my activity rings to close out the evening. There are various options for customizing the look and feel of each, including typeface, color, and overall style. For those begrudging the subscription model, most elements are included for free. Those that require you subscribe include weather and other data which costs real money to provide to customers. It’s up to you whether you see this as valuable, but I’m a happy subscriber to get this data as well as to show my support for one of the most innovative watchOS developers. I know there’s many more complication designs and other tricks coming up his sleeves, and I’m glad to support Underscore’s work..Version: 1.0.1

Amazing app for people unable to tell the time!!!!This is an awesome app!!! I'm unable to tell the time with watch hands due to a learning disability and this app allows me to have more access to different watch faces. I'm definitely recommending it to my friends!!!.Version: 1.3.5

Close but not perfect yetOne problem was that I had to reinstall a couple of times for the complication for the weather to update my location. It worked eventually but it seems like it needs work but it could be a watchOS bug. The other suggestion is for a HomeKit module. Take a look at HomeRun for a good simplistic UI/UX. I anticipate updating this rating to 5 stars soon..Version: 1.0.1

Simple watch face perfectionThis app makes it possible to have a very simple watchface when my arm is down and complications to appear when I raise my arm. Exactly what I was looking for! The default option to hide sensitive complications doesn't allow me to pick what I want to hide and when a complication is hidden it still shows which complication should be there, so it really doesn't allow for a sleek look when the watch is not in use. This app makes that possible!.Version: 2.0.2

Thank You for This!All I wanted was a nicely sized clock on the corner of my watch and this app delivered! UI could use a little work however..Version: 2.1.1

Great developer!Bless this developer for the time and effort he puts into the slow and painful process that is developing for the Apple Watch. That alone is worth throwing money his way! Only negative thing I can ever say about this amazing human being’s products is... why does he always use fonts that just look weird and very un-iOS feeling? Using the system font isn’t a bad thing. And now I feel terrible for typing that because I’ve listened to his podcast for years. And this developer just seems like he’s probably one of the top 10 kindest people on earth. ;-) I look forward to seeing how this app evolves!.Version: 1.1.1

Regular updatesThis app is an awesome concept and there is a whole lot of effort going into it with regular updates it keeps getting better. Thanks for the continued effort..Version: 1.2

Great app! Needs temperatures in CelsiusI’m using this app to show a simplified date in a corner, which is great. I’d also like to show the temperature in another corner, however it only shows Fahrenheit. Can you please also support Celsius?.Version: 2.1.1

I’m confused about the bad reviewsNo other watch app is doing anything like this.. so many options! I didn’t give you $2 a month yet, but I probably will... I just avoid subscriptions... Really great job here! I love all of these options.Version: 1.2

Great start!This app has a great start. It needs to be able to read weather data from a Netatmo weather station (like CARROT does, for instance) for better accuracy, but so far so good. Look forward to updates!.Version: 1.0.5

Very promising! Work week numbers?The idea is very original and the app has a lot of potential for customization! Would it be possible to add also work week numbers to the options available?.Version: 1.0.1

Developer response please?Love the app, honestly thought devs had given up on it since last update was 2 years ago, but did see they recently had one as of about 6 months ago so thank you devs! My question is, for text color as in if I make a complication with digital time, it allows you to set color for both the hour and minute. However, no matter what I set, it always only shows up white as both on my watch. Anyone know a fix?.Version: 2.1.1

Battery level incorrectI love Watchsmith, however, I have one complaint. The battery level reported by the Battery % complication is not updating properly. For example, my watch is fully charged, 100%, but the Watchsmith complication in the Infograh top position is showing a battery level of 90%..Version: 2.0.2

Amazing but.....I'm not going to talk about the amazing part of this app. It does what it says it does and it does it well. It's the type of thing that is so amazing, Apple will probably just copy and integrate. My gripe is that when I go to bed, the watch goes on the nightstand. That's when my Watchsmith complications just freeze. I will wake in the morning and Watchsmith will tell me I'm at the 40% battery from bedtime when it is really fully charged. And the complication isn't supposed to be showing battery at that time. The only thing I can do, which is now my daily routine, is reboot the watch. It's frustrating, but Watchsmith is so amazing it is worth it..Version: 2.0.2

Good appIt is nice. Thank you. Can you have a darker background option please. It is very difficult to use it for long time because of the bright background. But you need to spend long time configuring it.Version: 1.1

Best watch complication maker for Your Apple Watch faceThis wonderful app is truly innovative with respect To how it works and what it’s intended for. When I first tried the app I thought it was like all the watch maker apps except with complications. I scratched my head after creating modifications because I didn’t see what I created. This app is for creating complications for your official Apple watches which is a welcome breath of fresh air. You pick an Apple Watch using your Apple Watch app from the gallery. Pick a face with multiple dial for the best results. Using Watchsmith create a complication like a Day dial, then you can further choose and modify, I chose a dial with the days of the week, changed the background to white, changed the hand color to black then changed the style of the indicator. Rename and save. Open your Apple Watch in the Apple Watch apple. Click on the watch face. This brings up a menu to edit the dial functions, select a dial , then scroll until you see Watchsmith and finally the name you gave your created dial, viola your dial appears on your dial on your Apple Watch. Repeat the process for each dial you create. I would suggest to the author to clarify the app description for what this app is for and what it’s not, might increase downloads if people understood the power of this app, truly a must have app with room for complications like tourbillons, etc. give it a try.Version: 2.0.2

Great app that gave me the one complication I was desperate for.Finally found an app to give me digital time in a small round complication! Would like to see a larger font, bolder font if that’s a possibility. The DDin font is larger, yes, but hopefully it is possible to get a font that truly utilizes the total space available. Other than that, great job and will be supporting this developer!.Version: 1.4.1

Love it ✨✨✨✨✨I use WatchSmith complications on every of my watch faces. I’ve divided my day in 8 hours chunks. The complications change every 8 hours on every watch face. It wasn’t hard to set up at all. They make a lovely new decoration on my watch. I didn’t buy the subscriptions because I don’t need the weather and the tides. Thank you Mr Smith for your work..Version: 1.3.5

⭐️Surprised Apple Don’t Do This!! ⭐️The app is excellent and works exactly as you would expect. I recommend watching the instructional video in settings to understand how to set it up. The only downside is the limited apps available to use. The option to have a complication hidden until you raise your wrist is brilliant and would be perfect for reminders if that option was available. Is it possible to extend this to 3rd party apps such as sorted? Thanks.Version: 2.0.2

Complications are great, iOS app is okHas a lot of capabilities but mainly I’m using it to add a digital clock on analog faces. Some annoying limitations imposed by Apple, like the slot above the time on Infograph Modular only being able to show the date, not a real “Narrow Text” complication as is used in the same position on the Siri face. Thankfully you don’t need to open the iOS part of the app once it’s set up how you like it. The lack of dark mode and “unusual” choice of font and support make the UI feel less native than other apps that I know are wrappers around a webpage, but clearly the author knows how to write native UIs for Apple’s platforms. 🤷🏻‍♂️.Version: 1.4.1

Calendar dialIt would be great if there’s an option for the calendar dial to show the next 24 hours (or 12 hours) rather than just today. Anyways, keep up the great work!.Version: 1.3

Complications toolbox!Amazing app. Love it! It allows you to tinker and customise the complications on the Apple Watch to your heart’s content. It does the job of several separate apps put together..Version: 2.0.2

Great idea - UI needs some workI think everyone’s being a little harsh, the UI is complicated but once you get the hang of it, this app does exactly what you’d imagine it to. Great features, hope to see an update in the future addressing the UI.Version: 1.3.3

So innovative and needed!I first read about this the other day and spent a bit of time with it on the weekend. As most have said this is a much needed feature and David really was thinking when he put this together. I love it. I still think there needs to be a bit of evolution, icon-based items like moonrise for instance don’t fill the entire complication space, and the font choices are a little odd but man, this is the stuff I am happy to pay for. And for those whining about subscriptions what do they not understand. For something like this to continue to evolve the developer has to make ongoing revenue to support it. It makes sense. And this is very affordable. Happy to support it and look forward to updates. Great work..Version: 1.1.1

Amazing!!!!!!I love this app so much and the timed complications make it very easy to know what to do. Just a question, could you add a setting to use move minuets instead of calories. Anyway I love this app a lot and look forward to updates in the future..Version: 2.0.2

Great app eventuallyHave to get to grips with it but once you do it’s a great little app to add a refreshing look to your watch face..Version: 2.0.2

Awesome appUpdating my review based on the recent version 1.2 update. Love the tide clock added option! Really useful at a glance reference in an area where knowing tide levels are critical for safety on the water. Kudos to the developer for listening and acting on user suggestions. This app has superbly innovative features. I love the ability to conditionally change the complications depending on time of day. I happily made the annual in-app upgrade to get the weather and tide feeds. Having an at a glance tide reference on my wrist is so helpful for boating in the shallow waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Kudos to the developer for an outstanding app and his responsiveness to a question I submitted..Version: 1.2

The needle in the hay stack!This app truly is the needle in the hay stack, and by hay stack I mean the big pile of you-know-what that is other “Watch face apps”. Those apps only seem to be galleries of photos for you to make the photo face on. Every so often you find a well made face, but it’s rare. THIS app lets you take control of the capabilities your watch already has and make something truly your own, and the process couldn’t be easier. I took a Modular face and customized it quite to my liking, and now it’s a joy to look at my watch again. Don’t pass this app by. You may have found it while searching “Watch face apps”, at least try the free features and see how good it is..Version: 2.0.2
