My Watches Companion is not endorsed by WatchMaker. It is created by another company.

Back-ups and SD Watches are located in SD Card/Android/data/com.japplis.watchmakercompanion/files. If you don't have a SD card it will be in Internal storage/Android/data/com.japplis.watchmakercompanion/files.

Due to new file access restrictions in Android 11 & 12 & 13, for some features, My Watches Companion will require an Android file manager that has access to the WatchMaker app files and can serve files via FTP.

This does not work with the new Android 11 OS. The "scooped storage" denies access to the Android-Data folder. That means I can't backup or restore any watches. Your app will not allow me to change the location of my backup directory. I can't even export a watch, because it goes to the same restricted folder. Thank you. Update.... The backups remain unavailable, plus if you export watches it goes to the Android/data directory. How come you won't let users choose where they can place backups/exp

Google broke backwards compatibility with Android 11 and provided bad documentation on how to fix it. Anyway, I've pushed an update that fixes the empty Android/data folder for Android 11, plus a few other small improvements to ease browsing files. Edit: try with version 5.0, it may work again.

This app has saved me several times. Most recently today, since the Android 11 migration of WM has been very poorly executed so far. I would've lost everything if I didn't have a recent save before my phone updated to 11. I was able to retrieve my files, but unfortunately this app hasn't yet been updated by the dev to be able to backup new WM watches anymore, so it's no longer useable for that. Before updating to Android 11, back up your watches to your PC cause this app might not work anymore.

Hi Monica, Thanks for your review. Since version 5.0, if you have a ftp server with access to the WatchMaker files (/android/data/slide.watchFrenzy/files) (like Solid Explorer), most of the features are back for Android 11 & 12.

Had an issue early on. Paid for and instaled on my outgoing Huawei p30. All good. Did what I needed. But when it came to installing on new Samsung an hour later it kept looping. Only option on install was pay. I tried that in desperation and instantly got the message that I already owned it at which point install failed. The following day it installed fine . It did what we needed and was exactly what I wanted. It may be playstore problem but 1 star lost because of that early issue. Good app.

Thank you for your review. For the issue, it is a Google Play Store issue.
