Hello all,

I have a Fossil Gen 5 watch with WearOS ,but can not find a way to trigger any wearos functions.

Is this feature still supported?

Hi , yes correct

I try to set the watch to perform a "constant-until dismissed" notification when specific phone apps send notifications , but all I can see is one option which is to get a wear notification..

All other options refer to the phone for example "vibrate device" despite being under the wearos menu

The Wear OS companion app is currently not available as Google made some changes which mandates me distributing in a new way. (Basically I have to do more work for no gain just to meet Google's requirements). This will be ready in the next update but I'm afraid until then the companion app cannot be installed.

This release was done some time ago and the Wear OS app should be available via the Play Store on the watch.

Hi @MacroDroidDev,
It's not also available on Play Store of my watch.

Is the WearOS app the same app available for mobile ("com.arlosoft.macrodroid") or separate?

If it's the same, in my case it doesn't work on my TicWatch E2 (WearOs version 2.28), Is there any reason?

The app should now be available in the Play Store on Wear OS. It had gone but should have been back for the last couple of days and this has been confirmed by other users who reported the issue.

Sorry but I have no intention to further develop the Wear OS app at this time. I simply don't have time to work on a platform that any applies to a tiny fraction of my users.

I have recently purchased a wear os device and I am very sorry to read you don't plan further development for Wear os. I have so many ideas where I could utilize macrodroid for wear. Current app doesn't really do much. I don know about the limitations of wear os maybe it's not possible to controll for example tilt to wake on off via macrodroid but it would be certainly superb. Why don't you develope for wear is and charge extra for it? I would be willing to buy the wear os app as well.

You can look at this plug-in and see if it works (before you buy it, it has a trial).

I just tried the WearOS app on Galaxy Watch4 and I made an action that starts G-Pay on the watch. It works beautifully, the only issue is there is no way to configure a watch trigger, only a phone trigger. I made it start when I shake the phone. To be honest I believe that Galaxy Watch 4 will be a success (coming from somebody utterly disappointed by Watch 2 Active) so the userbase will grow considerably if that matters. It is a shame that the base app is already there, and what will be needed is only some triggers to start being useful. I respect your decision and I understand, but still a shame being that close but not there still. Thanks for the effort you did so far, macrodroid is best ;)
