iphone version of bt notifier

Hello AngusW and others. I just started using an iPhone 5 recently (about 2 weeks into it) and updated to the latest iOS 8.2 which fixed a number of issues with 8.1.3 and previous versions. I then purchased a UWatch U Terra. I am really excited about using this with my iPhone and Hopefully this is similar enough to other UWatches like the U8 UWatch. My experience so far (just got the UWatch today):

* Out of the box, the UWatch will control the phone's call and answer functions, allows sync with the phone book contacts, allows music to be played once the player is enabled on the phone...that's about it.

* After some examination of various help information on the Apple website and various forums, I figured out that if I enable SMS messaging on the iPhone under settings-Messages-"Send as SMS", then I do get notification that a message has been received by the phone...one little thing done!

* After another couple hours of persistent searching through the internet, I ran across an obscure message from a chat forum and on the www.gearbest.com website that sells similar UWatches: go to the App Store and download/install "Mediatek Device". This application looks as if it just enables workout tracking data to and from the watch and iPhone, but it ALSO enables SMS messages to appear on the phone so they can be read. There seems to be some functional issues with the message app on the phone retaining these, but at least they are notified and can be read without having to get out the phone!

* The Mediatek Device App also enables the control of the iPhone camera once the camera is turned on at the iPhone. Shutter control only as far as I can tell, but that's all I really need.

I also played around with the App other people have mentioned called "UWatch" at the App Store. This App has a really good interface, but seems non-functional with my setup...and apparently with most of the other users who have tried it. I hope that the developer can make a few upgrades and really enhance the UWatch experience for everyone.

Hope this is helpful to all. Best of Luck!

I have an iPhone 5C running iOS 8.2... I got my U8 Smartwatch last night from my girlfriend as an early birthday present, and It would not connect. Today, I tried to connect and it connected in a matter of 3 or 4 seconds.

I found an app when I browsed youtube and it said try to download the "lightblue" app from the iOS AppStore. The icon of the app is a picture of a nuckle and the letters "LE". I'm waiting for my watch to arrive. Hope this helps...

Yes this help me, also syncs good to Apple TV Syncs almost automatically, and not bad to wear for a cheap watch. BT Swatch" might update the app in the future, but it serves me well. ✔️ But it does not fully use all functions, but it's good. I got a u8 watch for Father's Day, the watch has some good function, I especially like the lost mobile alert, I don't really use most functions anyway, so I'm quite happy.

Has anyone found a solution for this yet??? I've tried all the apps mentioned and the watch won't show up when searching in the apps.

I'm not too fused about all the apps in the watch working. I would just like Text Messages to come up as an alert on the watch, Is there anyway to do this??

Thank you

I have the U8 watc, bought it from Wish.

Long story short, the phone pairs very easily with my iPhone 5s but the only features that sync are sounds and the phone itself. So that means any notifications you have setup on your iPhone you will hear on the watch, including mail and messages HOWEVER you can't read them. The main reason I bought this was so I could read my messages without taking the phone out of my pocket (yep, lazy!) so this kinda *****.

I tried all of the apps that are suggested in these posts but none work. The one I was most excited about trying was BT Swatch but as soon as I open that app on my iPhone it says "Smart Watch Alert [(null)] Disconnected". The only option to tap is Dismiss. When I try adding a device I basically go through a loop of the previous message.

As for MediaTek, I tried it too. Interestingly enough, it detects two available connections both named Apple TV (I do have an Apple TV). I tried connecting to both hoping that one was my U8 watch and something was just wrong with the naming . As soon as I connect it looks like it may start working but about 10 seconds later it justs disconnects and reconnects, obviously not working there...maybe my Apple TV is walking around without me knowing about it?

After reseting the watch. To my surprise it reconnected (paired) to my iPhone automatically however everything else (time/date/location) reset.

I'd love for this thing to show me my texts and emails. If anyone can get it working with an iPhone please please please let me know!

IN the App Store there is a bt notifier I had my watch today and it says for me to download that with a iphone or ipad it costs £3.99 I am gonna give it a go just hope it works just need to wait till Friday though pay day lol I will let you know how I get on unless someone knows already it's not working!!!

I got my U10 yesterday, I had read that the "Mediatek SmartDevice" app would work so I downloaded it but it just didn't work, I decided to just pair it from settings and it worked really nice, and after syncronizing my contacts I could identify their calls, I only had the problem with the notifications, they didn't work. I decided to give a try again after installing the new iOS 9 update, and it worked. I get notifications on everything, whatsapp, iMessage, Mail, I even get a notification when one app is upgraded.

I'm using an iphone 6.

I had the same question too, so I researched a lil bit and found a video of 2015 of a guy who actually BOUGHT the BT Notifier version for iOS and it didn't work for him. He said: "Don't buy the app. I bought and downloaded this 5 USD app to make this video - to test it- and it didn't work. I called the AppStore and got my money back (...)"

So... get your own conclusions. I found that the app isn't anymore on the AppStore. Maybe he was right

if i am wrong people correct me as at the moment i cant find anything and it meals i can use my smart watch properly.

BT have not made an iPhone app.

Ok so I've tried literally everything with my phone and watch I don't have a u8 specifically but I do have this hype smart watch I got from Walmart and I can pair it but I don't get notifications for texts and I don't have the ability to have a remote shutter if anyone can help please let me know

Trakdot asks for permission from music and Facebook, but never opens, theres only a black screen which immediately asks for permission to read FB profile, then closes, with no functionality, at all... on iOS 10.1.1, anyway. Does ANYONE know how to make the DZ09 work with iOS 10 on iPhone 7?? I can pair the BT, make and rec calls, play music, but THATS IT.

Need an APP to use any other functions.

Well, after searching the internet and almost getting to the end of it... I'm exaggerating a little, but I was successful in finding what we have been looking for. The elusive bt notifier app for the DZ09 and A1 and the rest of them. The free Smartwatch app they have for this models works amazingly well. It makes my android phone work and I think they are getting to launch an iOS version in the next few days through the App Store. For me, well I broke down and bought an Apple Watch to use with my iPhone 7 Plus, but I will keep my DZ09 for my android device. Oh, here's the link:

Enjoy

I think I figured out why it's not pairing !! Well I notice when I was watching a video on you tube on how to pair the watch to the I phone is when the watch ask you to pair it suppose to have yes or no at the very bottom of the watch but it doesn't so have to hit the = symbol for yes and go back symbol example bent arrow for no and they paired right up

No, Trackdot or UWatch in the App Store has nothing to do with this smartwatch.
