Important Update on KWCH App Availability

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share an important update regarding KWCH. Due to a lack of clarity from Google about the future of watchface services, I have decided to temporarily unpublish the app from the Play Store.

What This Means:

  • Existing users will still receive updates as usual.
  • New users will no longer be able to download the app.
  • New feature development is paused until Google provides clear guidance on the future of watch face support.
  • Support will be limited i will still try to fix issues i see here in a best effort way but again most development will be paused till situation is clarified

I know this may be disappointing news for some of you, and I appreciate everyone who has supported KWCH. For now, I’ll be monitoring the situation, and if things improve, I’ll reconsider the next steps.

If you have any questions, feel free to discuss them here. Thanks for your understanding!

Thank you @frank for all of the work you and your team do.

I love KWCH for my pre-Galaxy Watch 7 watches. Even that is supposed to go away so I understand your decision.
In the meantime I’ll continue using KWCH on my older watches and and use Samsung Watch Face Studio for the newer watches. WFS certainly isn’t nearly as full-featured as KWCH…
Looking forward to finding out what ultimately happens.
All you do is Much Appreciated!

Could you fix the weather updating- and heart rate-issue?

Hi, I bought the kwch on the phone in advance, few weeks ago, but the watch arrived only today. Therefore I can edit and import all I want, but as I wanted to send hte face to the watch, it doesn’t find the app. I’m also sad of this google game they play and I understand your decision, and appreciate you trying to fix, but could we solve this case? Thanks

Yes best effort i will try to fix that

If you already downloaded the app then play store will still show it, probably you didn’t download it from the play store on the watch? Which app is not being downloaded watch or phone?

I downloaded from the play store, to the phone several months ago. I was playing with it, til a point, where I decided to buy it, (I found the email, it was 20th, jan.) I was thinking about which watch to buy, and it took so long to choose, that I got it yesterday. (Xiaomi watch 2 pro(instant regret))
So when I send the face from the kwch app to the watch, it says; item cannot be found, or st similar.

Also, as you mentioned now, I checked apps in the paly store on the phone, and it’s not there as well. I’m 100% sure, it’s from play store, but even if I’m mistaken, is there a way to get it work?

Nevermind, I’ve sent the watch back.

Does this explain why I can’t buy the pro version?

Yeah currently the app is not available on the store, however if you already have the app on your phone installed you should get updates and you should be able to buy pro “in app”

How can I import watchfaces now that the app isnt available and i cant buy pro through the app?

I downloaded the latest version apk from the website

I understand what you’re saying, but even after downloading the APK, it doesn’t let me purchase the Pro version in-app.
