Lens for Watch Reviews

Lens is kinda laggy, i find it having the most problems when i’m on a post that has more than one photo, and when i try to swipe on it it does this thing where is brings me back to the phot i’m on even if i try to swipe right. but i can message my friends on it and i can still see posts, i got the premium version
i had to delete it and log back in because i tried logging into a different account and there was a glitch with my profile saying that i was logged into the account i was first logged into instead of the one i was actually logged into. my messages were the ones on the second account i has logged into so i deleted it and logged in again and then it was fine, and it restored my purchase of premium right away.

as my suggestions i recommend you make it so vidoes are playable and fix the photo issue i had before but otherwise this is amazing :)

I was very exicted to get Lens and I think its a great idea but I am very annoyed because it keeps logging me out. It logs me out and than I log back it but lately when i try to log back in it just gets stuck on the loading screen.

It does everything I need it to and works fine even better with premium only issue is that you can’t see shared content inside the messages after that’s fixed it’ll be perfect!

I was very excited about using Lens. Instagram is how I communicate with many of my friends so I thought it was nice to have an app on my watch to text back on and view content. But it logs me out every time I try to use it and when I log in on my iPhone my watch does not register I logged in. I am annoyed because I love the idea of Lens but the actual app has a lot of technical problems.

app works great on AW6, aside from a few minor quirks. the low ratings aren’t justified at all. best thing is that you don’t need wifi or lte to open Lens , just bluetooth only

After multiple installs reinstall and restart my phone and watch ,this does not work at all on the watch keeps telling me to login on Lens on my phone and once I do it doesn’t work.
Tried emailing the company at the email provided and it doesn’t send to them comes back undeliverable mail!!

Lens is not laggy or anything but the volume is so high !! Is there a way to turn it down or shut it completely off??

It’s the least u cud do and I thanks u for that. I paid for the pro version and I’m glad I did

I love Lens for the ease it has to use Instagram but I bought this app pro and it’s not letting me use any of the features, this annoying because I spent money for Lens and it doesn’t work.

I loved it at first and even bought the this app pro but now it stopped working on my Apple Watch so I’m very upset and disappointed

Lens was really good before but as of recent it’s been stuck on Login on iPhone , this is so annoying please fix this

Lens does not work at all when your try to sign in it makes you go through al these steps for it not to work ! please don’t waste your time on Lens just download instagram on your phone!! (i would rate it 0 stars if i could.)

I love Lens but I cant restore my purchase!!! I got premium and now it don’t work

I tried to cancel my subscription because I don’t want pro anymore but I’m not getting my money back

I paid for Lens , it simply does not work, sent an email to support and bounced back… thanks God it was only $3.99, but I am thinking, $3.99 by thousands of people who believe this is worth? No way… I am
Pretty sure this good comments are from the same developer…

What’s the difference between the payment options? You should tell the customer what they’re paying for. Like what does the $1.99 apply for, and what’s the difference between the $1.99 and the $3.99? I didn’t make any purchases Bc I’m confused for what I’m paying for.

I believe the developer also made Chirp, a Twitter watch client that is pretty darn good. Lens doesn't work. You just got to a blank Instagram login screen and it stays there. Unfortunately it doesn't work in its current form with Instagram.

DO NOT GET Lens ON YOUR APPLE WATCH! Lens had got me temporarily locked out from my own account and I can never get back.. I tried to get with help desk but because this is a 3rd party I might never get my account. You will be locked out from your own account do not get at all!!!!!!!!!!

I bought the this app Pro for $3.99 but what is the difference between Pro $1.99, Pro $2.99, and Pro $3.99

Doesn’t work. Even after leaving a “tip” thinking that would be the key to Lens connecting with the watch, still nothing. Don’t waste your time or your money.

Update on 7/8/19 - Just installed the new update and I can finally see my feed!!! Unfortunately, after looking at 3-4 posts (clicking into them to see the photo(s) in a row, Lens locks with a spinning circle. I’ve rebooted and can consistently produce the lockup. How can I help? You are getting close. I was even able to “like” and add a comment.

I’ve had Lens since shortly after its initial release. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. This release doesn't. I’d love to get the pro version, but the free version needs to be stable first.

The developer support link returns a 404 error? Two months since the last update. Home no longer loads posts. What’s the deal, is a new release pending?

Okay to be honest I don’t ever write reviews on apps but I’ve been looking for an app for instagram! I definitely recommend Lens, I did get the pro which was 1.99$ not bad at all! It does need some improvement but I look forward to it. The stories app is pretty slow and the feed I’m getting isn’t like recent is from 22hrs ago but otherwise then that I’m excited to finally be able to see instagram from my wrist again!

Everything I tried seemed to work however it seems that if videos are posted with slides, they can’t be viewed. Not much of an issue because watching videos on such a small screen is pretty dumb anyways.

The apps satisfy all the promises functions and it does the job. I bought the pro so that I could use the messages on insta on my Apple Watch but everyone I click on messages a error messages pops up that says “the data couldn’t be read because it instead in the correct format” I tried restarting my phone and watch and redownloading and everything but nothing seems to work.

Not sure what happened to those previous post but Lens works perfectly on my watch no loading issue, even bought the pro version.

I love Lens it helps a lot when ur iPhone is about to die but u wanna look on Instagram then u can just use ur Apple Watch it’s really helpful and I most certainly would recommend!! Thank you

It’s worth it. If it wouldn’t download on your watch be patient. It may need to charge or something to download it. Yesterday I got Lens and it didn’t work because my battery was on 19%. If you recharge it it work absolutely great.

It would be great if I could get notifications from Lens. I have the pro version and I'm happy that all areas are finally loading again, but notifications, especially for messages would be very welcomed.

I installed it and paid for it but the home feed shows nothing, just “load more posts” which does nothing.

Tried restarting everything but I guess I’l have to try a reinstall.

I like the concept of Lens . I give it a 2 star rating because I can use every FREE aspect of Lens except the main aspect which is the “Home” aka the feed. When I click on it, it says “load more posts” except nothing loads. If that were to be fixed than it would definitely be closer to a 5 star rating.

I just downloaded Lens for my Apple Watch series 5 and also paid for the Pro version; however, videos don’t load to watch Stories. (Just stays at“loading.”) Gave up after 10 minutes of it saying it was loading. Also, it doesn’t play more than one photo under Stories. I would like a reimbursement.

As a user who has had Lens since day 1, I'm pretty sure my app only worked at least a month before bugs and more stuff ruined it. Now I can't load anything on the home page yet the activity page works. Just either remove the whole app or let us use the pro features for free dude.

I bought pro to be able to see IG messages. When I click messages, it now says they cannot be viewed/not in correct format. Can you please help? Apple Watch 5.

The messages doesn't work, I bought the pro version and I cannot see the messages it just gives an error again and again! Also while using search the flicktype keyboard integration is bad, doesn't work well!

This is a great app after the recent fix for messages! I have found this SUPER super useful when ever I need to check a message.
