App unnecessarily requests email address
App claims it needs the users email address to “verify premium membership.” This is false, as Apple’s IAP system does that quite sufficiently. I don’t need a watch face that steals my data, thanks.
Trash rip off
I want my 99 cents back. This is useless tacky trash.
Updates?
There used to be updates every month and now nothing has been added in the past 2 months. What happened?
No, you DON'T need my email.
No app needs an email to charge me for any sort of IAP or subscription. Apple takes care of that, and I can be sure that they won't sell my email off to spammers if they fall on hard times. At least let me see the app and what it can offer before you go asking for personal information. You immediately lost my interest because I don't know if the potential for spam is even worth the experience I get from your app. Bad, bad business practice. By the time the developer remedies this, I'll have long-since forgotten about this app.
So "premium"!
One of the photos in your app store page literally says "your wallpaper has been saved to your gallery." And then you simply go to the Watch app, select Face Gallery from the dock, and then go to Custom Photos to set watch faces with your “premium custom photos”?
Are you using photos under the creative common license and then charging people for it or did you make your own photos in some Photoshop-like application?
So "premium"!
Edit: This edit is after the developer's response. Since they have resolved to personal attacks, let me enlighten the userbase on the developer's actions as well. This developer promoted their app on Reddit as a premium application. They made severally accounts to promote their application as "AMAZING" and how "the developer is so responsive and made additional packs." When confronted about the multiple user accounts used for self-promotion, they deleted all their comments to appear honest.
When asked about the method of how they set photos, they claimed to have found a "workaround" to setting Apple's watch faces. When I posted this same review on reddit, they deleted the entire thread so as to not alert other users. They are also using licensed photos under some random GNU/free use license and charging people for additional packs. I have reported them to Apple.
This review was solely meant to educate users, but the developer's intentions are clearly to trick the users into buying their premium app when everything can be done freely. And to personally attack reviewers who expose them for who they truly are.

No support for Series 4
Just paid $1 to only be let down, this only supports 38mm and 42mm watch faces. Hope to see an update soon for the 40mm and 44mm watch faces. Until then I will only rate it 2 stars.
