Does anyone have experience with the WatchMyRiv app available for the Apple Watch? I have an Apple Watch Ultra 3 with an activated cellular plan. It would be great if it could be used for some basic Rivian functions.
Absolute garbage, and they were awful with communication and wouldn’t refund the $30 I paid. Thing didn’t work once. Worst App Store purchase and experience I’ve ever had.

I’d say go try and see for yourself. Issues may have been fixed.

It’s a shame because there are millions of Apple Watch users that would benefit from at least being able to lock/unlock their vehicles. My iPhone battery ran out recently (from playing golf with my gps on) and I couldn’t get in my truck. If I could have used my iPhone that would have been awesome.
You can set up shortcuts on your iPhone and transfer them to your watch. For example, I have a shortcut on my watchface that opens the frunk. I push the shortcut button and then run the "Open Frunk" shortcut and my frunk magically opens as I'm walking to it with groceries (without pulling out my phone). I'm pretty sure it would work without my phone in my pocket. See this link for more info.

At least it would give you a way to open your door if your phone died. It won't help you drive it away though...You'd still need a keycard until your phone charged enough.

I tried that for a while but found it too easy to accidentally touch the "complications" at the corners. Not that there was high chance of unlocking (since it takes more than one tap), I just don't want any chance at all.

It mostly works, but is not good, not truly reliable. The UI lies; meaning that it shows old stale data most of the time, while making it look like it has refreshed. For me it's just a backup to the phone, and it does that. You may have to stand right by the car to make it work, but if you do, it always works. The remote stuff is 50/50 at best (doing it over internet/cellular).
Cool… I just have to figure out what’s keeping me from Logging in to the App. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Does anyone know how to contact Waaakey support? After reading all the great feedback, I believe their solution may be the best, but I can't seem to log in, and I can't find any way to contact their support for help.

IIRC, some users tried but got no response. Developer probably doesn't own a Rivian anymore.

You didn't have any issues entering your username and/or password? Are you on the paid or "free" version?
