I'm not sure how Samsung got the UX of this so wrong, why can't we customize what the different taps do, but we CAN customize what touch and hold does? I rewind so much more than I fast forward and the triple tap is so finicky. Let me change it! Also, after a more recent update, the widget will stop working for controlling bud settings until I open the actual wearable app, defeats the whole purpose of the widget. And yes, I have turned off the battery optimization/auto pause. Be Better.

Everything was great until recently. Now the watch is disconnected from my phone and won't reconnect. I've deleted the app, reset the phone, downloaded the app again, and it won't finish the download. I've changed the date on my phone to 2023 (one suggested fix), however it wouldn't download the app. Nothing seems to fix it, now I can't use my watch... Samsung, fix this!!!!

It was working fine for a while, but then I wanted to change an app on the device. I loaded up this app, and it froze with a black screen. I tried reinstalling the app, and tried connecting to the watch. No luck. App froze again. Now my watch isn't staying connected via Bluetooth, no notifications, and watch battery is DRAINING fast. Tried factory resetting watch, and now my watch will not connect until it can be setup with this app, which freezes, rendering my watch 100% useless. FIX THIS APP!
