Email notifications with commands for Android Wear Smartwatches and Accessories
--- Special Note:
Dear Smartwatch User,
We are getting ready to refresh this app most likely with an emphasis on filtered notifications that support different behaviours on the watch. For example, "Play a custom sound and vibration on the watch if the subject contains meeting." 2 main points of emphasis: 1. Reduce the amount of notifications going to the watch 2. Ability to know who the notification came from or what it concerns without looking at the watch.
I am a little out of touch with what is happening wear wise and would be VERY grateful for any feedback regarding what features you are looking for in the app. Also, if you get a chance to install the current app, please let me know what you would improve about it.
UPDATE: We have purchased a Tic-Watch-Pro for developing the new version of the app...We would be grateful for MORE feedback on the feature set. Thanks to everyone that has already contacted us!
Kind Regards, [email protected]
