It doesn't work as it's supposed to
Bought it, but it didn't say before buying that it would not work on my Samsung galaxy watch. Do that was a waste of money. I've paid for something I can't use. They should refund if I'm not able to use it. Here's a tip guys: list which watches it will work with!
This app doesn't work how I thought it would. I was expecting to be able to tap my watch to my door and have it open. Doesn't do that. A bit of a waste of money for me.
This app is both a game-changer and a lifesaver. I can control my Tesla with my Pixel watch via wifi, Bluetooth and more importantly by NFC (tapping it against the door frame). I don't normally carry my key card, so this comes in especially handy if my phone dies or if I want to leave my phone in the car before a run. Most importantly, the support I got from Runar was great - he got me up and running in no time.
At first, app didn't worked, developer was very helpful, but still nothing. Uninstalled all, and switched to another app, but it was not very good experience. In 2 months gave it another try, and now everything works like a charm. I like combination BLE and NFC keys, great ui and overall usability. Thank you!
Great app! Support is excellent.
Doesn't work for my watch. Requesting refund.
