Pro: + works, kinda Con: - clunky, 2000s-like UI - limited screen real estate on watch is wasted on useless, unconfigurable information (why is my phone's device name overlaid in bright yellow on the live image preview?!) - even basic controls (zoom, flip main/front camera) are paywalled It's the only remote shutter app usable for the Huawei Watch GT5 with Android phones, so I'll give it that. If it weren't, I'd be uninstalling it at once.

This app is terrible. The interface is clunky, outdated, and feels like it was designed for an early 2000s camera phone. During setup, I noticed an extensive list of vendors they plan to share your data with, it’s overwhelming. After testing it briefly and seeing these issues, I promptly uninstalled it.

It works. A little slow to respond and would like at pinch zoom on the phone app itself (I understand the stepped zoom on the watch controls). If there was a 1.5x zoom it'd be great. But this app really is the only option out there for Garmin watches. There are only like two other apps out there and they only offer a single shutter button with no zoom, light, timer, etc. So I'll take it.
