Troubleshooting:

Settings are not sending to the watch - text size/auto refresh/auto scroll all require the app to be running on the watch while you set them from the mobile app.

Traffic cards are not appearing on the watch - make sure notifications are not blocked on the watch and are set to "all notifications" when swiping up from android home menu, try sending a test card through the mobile app.

Alarms are slightly off - alarms are not accurate to the minute but are not far off, this was a change made by android to save battery life

Do not use this app whilst driving.
