-- If you have Samsung Gear S2/S3 (Tizen), get the companion app by installing Samsung Gear App on your phone from the app store and search for WatchMaker - the app's full name is "WatchMaker Companion for Gear S2 & S3" - this works for Android and iPhone! (there was an earlier version for iOS only which is discontinued) 
  
-**UPDATE**+The instructions to install the standalone WatchMaker app on your watch vary depending on which watch you have :
  
-As some of you may have noticed, Samsung removed the Companion App for WatchMaker from Galaxy Apps Store.+===== Wear OS Watch 2.0 =====
  
-This was due to Samsung requiring a change in our business model so that we should sell watches on the Samsung platformas well as on Google and Apple.+  * Long press on your watch for watch selector 
 +  * Scroll right until you see "More Watch Faces" 
 +  * Tap "More Watch Faces" 
 +  * Scroll down to Watch Faces - WatchMaker 100,000 Faces 
 +  * Tap Install 
 +  * After installation make sure this is your selected watch face by long pressing and scrolling left or right to WatchMaker
  
-We are working closely with Samsung to get this resolved as soon as possible and have already submitted a new version for Samsung to review.+{{:help_wear_os.jpg|}}
  
-Once the new version is approved, it will work exactly the same as the current version and will not force any additional purchases.+===== Samsung Gear S2/S3/Galaxy Watch/Active (Tizen) =====
  
-In the meantimewe advise you not to uninstall the WatchMaker Companion App or reset your watch until the app is available again on Galaxy Apps Store.+The companion app for your Gear S2/S3/Galaxy Watch/Active is available and can be downloaded right now from your iPhone / iPad :
