Kills the battery life Loved the concept of this, but agree with others, this should be built into the native functionality of Wear OS. I used it to stop pressing the crown in and activating Google Assistant when I am riding, however I have removed as it was killing my battery life (wouldn't last longer than 6 hours) Less if you exercise Absolute madness

Like many others, I wanted to use this to flip my watch (Fossil Q Explorist gen3) upside down on my left wrist to prevent accidental crown button presses. In that respect, the app works as designed... but at the cost of halving the battery life. So I regrettably removed after 2 days. This should be a basic accessibility function of the o/s, not something we should need a 3rd party hack for. Come on Google. Even FitBit does this natively.

This app is great about 40% of the time. My biggest issue is that when my watch goes into sleep or always on mode the screen goes back to the original position and it drives me absolutely crazy. I've gotten to where I'll wear my watch backwards just to avoid it. If this was fixed the app would be perfect, otherwise it's super annoying.

I was so happy when I found this app. It works as it should. All apps and functions worked. But after 3 days I had to uninstall it unfortunately. It drained my watch battery so fast. I was at 25% after just 4 hours. I uninstalled it and my watch went back to its normal 12. Please for all that is nerdy correct this.

THANK YOU!!!!! I've been complaining about this for years! It works flawlessly on Fossil Sport. The rotating crown even works correctly.

I SOOO wanted to find this useful. It only half works. As someone else pointed out, it doesn't actually make all apps left-navigable. Some still stay the same orientation. I have a garmin watch and that actually lets you decide which wrist you want to wear the watch on and orients everything accordingly. It can't be this hard to make everything ambidextrous. Why doesn't google just do this for the OS in general?
