AmazTools - Watchfaces & More Reviews

by Jyzntz

AmazTools doesn't sync with the watch like it should. Sometimes it will but about 90% of the time it says it is syncing but doesn't do it. It tries to sync for half an hour but never does. Crappy watch. Crappy app. Do not waste your money on the watch. Spend a little bit more money and buy a quit smart watch that works.

This is still an issue after the most recent v1.0.2. AmazTools is seeing the watch (Bip) but will not sync sport activity. App just sits in a preparing loop. This is disappointing since it’s the only reason I use AmazTools and it was working great before the iOS 13 update. FIX THIS.

Been having issues since the latest update with syncing sport activities. Can not get new sport activities to sync no matter what I try. This is a step backwards from the last release. Sport activity syncing to strava is the only reason I use AmazTools, if it’s not fixed soon I’ll stop using both AmazTools and the watch.

My biggest issue, is 99% of the watch faces are not American. Why do i have the option to change metric to imperial and C° to F°, but it doesn't change the watch face to my preferences. There's no ability to change the watch faces. Everything is in celcius or the days of the week are different languages.. Anyone else having issues getting American watch faces on ios??? Please fix or update how to do it.. So frustrating.. I came from Garmin connect and the watch faces are similar but can easily be changed.. Shouldn't be that hard!!

If you accidentally attempt to load a Bip S watchface onto the Bip, it can render your Bip totally unusable. This includes when clicking on a watchface linked from another app or website that may not be labeled appropriately. No warnings about incompatibility or that you’re attempting to load a watchface for an unsupported device —the screen will simply turn off and there currently isn’t a way to get it back on or even reset the device. This happened to my device and I’ve subsequently read similar reports from others. Really, use at your own risk.

If the devs can manage a restore or reset fix, I’ll update the review and rating. AmazTools was fine prior to ruining the device—I just can’t believe how little it took to render it completely unusable.

The only reason I downloaded was because I heard you can sync sports activity from here to strava. However, every time I try to sync, it says sync successfully but nothing is uploaded. It tracks the correct information on the first tab (steps, calories, distance) but doesn’t say there is anything for sport activity. Useless app!

Ouch. My watch is almost useless now.
How can I install a past version?
Please fix, otherwise the Bip becomes useless.

When I try to sync to Strava it just waits, and waits, and waits. This used to work in about :30 seconds to sync. Now it either doesn’t work or takes upwards of 5+ minutes. Very frustrating.

Is there any other app that will sync to Strava?

Developer, if you are reading this please help! All my data is on Strava for comparison and analysis, literally 1,000s of miles of running recorded with this watch for multiple marathons. Now I cannot log my running data to Strava and I will need to buy a new watch of that is the case. Again please help. My running sanity and continuity depends on it!

Thanks

Awesome app for getting new watch faces for iPhone users, but the worst when it comes to syncing sports activity. The main reason I have the watch and use AmazTools is to track my runs so they can sync to strava. Unfortunately it takes anywhere from 5-50 attempts of syncing activity from the watch to the this app app for it to actually work, 99% if the time it says “pending”, “synced successfully” (when it hasn’t) or “fetching heart rate data” indefinitely. Used to work every time but the newer updates have gotten worse and worse.

Filters don’t always work. Choice between imperial and metric is not applied, so temps are all in centigrade. Won’t let you choose between 12 and 24 hr. Example times are AM so there is no consistent way to tell whether watchfaces are 12 or 24 hr (it would be so easy to just use a time like 5:30 pm as the example!). Doesn’t seem to be any way to adjust any aspects of watchfaces.

The additional features afforded by AmazTools, like the ability to export activities to other formats, but overall a buggy app. GPS tracks over a certain length are impossible to download and the watch face feature has never worked for me. Worth a download but far from perfect.

by Exton Land

When I click the share button while I’m on the activity map it closes out and brings me to the home screen. Fix please!

Great app just can’t get some of watch faces from 24 hour to 12 hour

I was so happy when I found AmazTools. I saw a dial that I loved; went to download it, “File not compatible with your device.” 😔 please make AmazTools compatible with the Amazfit GTS 2e. Thank you.

Greetings
Thank you for your great app.
I have found that AmazTools is the only reliable source of changing the MiBand 4 language interface but it doesn’t support or have Persian(Farsi) in its list.
I have tried so many times to persuade MiFit app developers to bring language support feature in MiFit but it seems like that they won’t listen at all.
Specially when it comes to changing your language to Persian for recieving notifications.
There are indeed unofficial ways to do that but it’s not safe cause it will damage and brick the MiBand 4.
Whenever i try to receive notifications in Persian,it all show squares with question mark inside of it and it gives me “Undetected Language” vibes.
Then i have to look up on my phone to see who has texted me.
What’s the point of having band that doesn’t support your language and you have to look up your phone to realise who texted you in persian?
It’s pointless.
Please do us a favor and consider adding Persian(Farsi) to your app.

Regards.

There are websites which have high quality watch faces and this tool lets you load them. Google for them, I don’t want to put them here in case it’s not officially allowed.

Was checking on updates for my Bip and came across some other AMAZer’s comment mentioning AmazTools. Tons of custom watch faces. Plus some extra control features for Flashlight and Camera.
Thank you to the people involved in creating AmazTools. Thanks

Works as designed and great for the Bip S. It would be awesome to enable a function that turns the on board Bluetooth of the watch (and bands) off and on, instead of relying on turning BT off on the phones when you don’t want the watch/bands connected to the phone.

I’ve been searching for an option to install watch faces and this worked!! I believe if you can develop AmazTools further to add more features, such as more notification controls, it would become something people would purchase.

I initially downloaded this and MiFit for my AmazFit Bip, and deleted MiFit when I realized there was no way to connect to Strava. Unfortunately, I ran into a bug in the this app Strava sync, so I reported a bug and switched to using the AmazFit app. The AmazFit app had many problems with syncing, and had no way to remove a gpx or resync, so many of my runs were never synced. But an this app developer responded and fixed the bug in 2 days!! I switched back to the this app app and was able to resync all of the runs that the AmazFit app missed. Also syncs to apple health.

Ranking apps:
1. this app (all features work)
2. AmazFit (most features work)
3. MiFit (some things work)

Nobody, and I mean nobody, works harder to keep we AmazFit/Zepp/Mi users going than this developer. The time invested in working around the authentication token (for my Mi Band 6), has to be a LOT. And, though iOS doesn't give us the flexibility to do some of what we need, that's easily enough addressed by using an A_____d device. If not for this app, I'd be without the option to use tons of watch faces. A huge thank you to the developer!
