By name alone, it does exactly what it says. You will get notifications sent to your Wear OS watch whenever your phone connects to a data network, whether it's a WiFi access point or your phone's service provider. If you're on the go a lot, those little instant notifications can be very helpful. I thought having my watch buzz whenever I was in or out of range of a network would get annoying, but its really non-obtrusive and actually quite handy having those light, tactile boundaries to the networks your phone is using signified when you're out and about. That said, I have to deduct marks for their claim that the app will also notify you if the Bluetooth connection between your watch and phone is broken. I have directly tested this function in numerous scenarios and every time this app has completely failed on both ends to send any notification at all that the devices have been disconnected from each other. This app can not be used as an alternative for a 'forgot my phone' app as it will remain silent and unhelpful on such occasions. If you need an app to send network notifications to your watch, this will do just that.......but nothing else.

So far so good and very handy. I live in a rural area and my signal changes at times. Thank you for this!

I enjoy these notifications; but all I want is them to automatically dismiss after a few seconds!!!

First time it showed up on my watch was almost 3 days after installation. Even then, it kept showing my cell network strength as emergency only. And it never notifies me when my WiFi disconnects.

App keeps crashing on me about 15 times a day or worse. Some times it locks up my lg g watch r and I have to totally reboot it. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with android 5.0.1 and running 5.1.1 on my watch.

About this app

This simple app will show you notifications about the state of your phone network connection on the Android Wear device. Just one glance to know if you are using Wifi, LTE, UMTS or if you are currently offline! See the signl strength in percent or dBm and the current network name! The information will automatically update every time the watch wakes up from ambient mode.

You even get a notification if your watch looses the Bluetooth connection to the phone. This makes any 'forgot my phone' app unnecessary!

The notifications can be customized through the companion app on the phone and it is also possible to only show the notification cards manually on the watch.
