I love the app, and the ability to be able to respond and receive messages on my watch. I would like to see the ability to delete text threads on the watch in a future update. Also, a swipe keyboard to make typing faster on my watch. Excellent App! I love the app, and the ability to be able to respond and receive messages on my watch.

I travel a *lot* and we’re in some pretty crazy times. The cost of a Mini 2 and a monthly service fee seems pretty reasonable. Its initial setup and operation are intuitive to an adult. It’s reassuring to know I won’t be caught without the means to communicate if there is some sort of crisis. The backup navigational capability when away from home is huge to me. Also, as a pilot, it’s worth the cost for emergency backup NAV and COMM. Hopefully it will remain safely at the ready in arms reach in my suitcase, but I take it out periodically to make sure everything is working, I remember how to access the features I need, and to keep the battery charged. Would recommend. A reasonable insurance Policy I travel a *lot* and we’re in some pretty crazy times. The cost of a Mini 2 and a monthly service fee seems pretty reasonable.
