I downloaded the $3.00 app for gear s2, it is on watch. I downloaded the $3.00 companion for my phone and it's nowhere to be found. I think I was just ripped off for $6.00.

You see it in your phone when you hold on a file in file manager and select share. You must have the app from Samsung App Store installed on your watch, too. It used to work great, then my phone updated to a new Android version and it doesn't seem to transfer files anymore..

M70%
by M####:

App seems to work pretty well. Just need to know what video file types it will play. I have tried a couple and they wouldn't work. Sent dev an email. Hopefully they get back to me. To those of you complaining of no app icon. Read the description. It says there is no ui for this program. It appears in the sharing list. Select a file and choose share, you will then see filesmaster as a choice. Have the app open on your watch and send it. Files transfer just fine. Giving 4 stars because of lack of info of video file types supported.

Works mostly as advertised with my Note 4 using Android 6.0.1, but crashes on my Note 4 when I try to send a file from the Gear S2 to the Note. Sending files from the Note to the S2 works OK.

Doesn't work. Every file I attempt to send from Galaxy s6 Edge gets a message that says "Filesmaster: sending file ERROR: 2" on the phone. The watch displays the message: "An error occurred while receiving file shopping.txt. Error: FILE_IO" Can't sent even a text file to my watch, pdfs also don't work.

I'm trying to send a file .ogg (first attemp was a file .mp3) to use it as a ringtone in my Gear S2, everything ok until the moment when i try to move the file from the folder "Music" or "Downloads" to the folder Ringtones. It says something like "Permission error". Anyone can help me? I get the app because of this....
