About WatchIt!
NOTE: Adaptations for Lollipop have been applied now, but some cases may work differently, so please email version of Android and whether you use Notification Access or Accessibility if you still have issues.
WatchIt! will pickup up Notifications and Toasts from all your existing applications and display them for you in various ways.
Currently there is support for SmartWatch and SmartWatch 2 by Sony, MetaWatch, Smart Wireless Headset Pro (MW1), experimental support for Gear (not working) plus the DayDream feature of Android 4.2+ - see the screenshot above for an example of what is shown when an email arrives. This works on phones as well as tablets (and most likely anything else running 4.2) - select it as any other DayDream.
Just follow the instructions shown when you start the app to enable them and then fine tune.
(Also, the icon will watch over you and protect you from the evil eye.)
NOTE: You MUST turn on Accessibility for this app to work at all. For 4.3+ you may *instead* use Notification access - this avoids the Samsung firmware bugs (see below), but will not pick up Toasts. Your choice!
The DayDream is turned on separately in the usual place.
FAQ:
* In some cases voice feedback is activated, why?
This is a firmware bug in some phones. A workaround can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785194&page=2 - alternatively, use Notificaiton access under 4.3+.
* Some messages had duplicated text, why?
Notifications can have a ticker text that i shown along the top at creation time - this is shown on the watch as "Message [ Ticker ]". Usually the ticker text is a summary but sometimes (especially on older apps) it is the same. If it is identical it will be removed from the message, but sometimes it is only slightly different, then it my be shown as "John Doe Message [ John: Message ]" or similar.
* How do I change all the apps' settings from "Both"?
Just use the "Default App Setting" first - this applies to any app you have not explicitly set to some other value which is useful for future installs too!
Please encourage those who build the notifications to improve their messages if you want more text to be shown.
Please use the feedback button as it is impossible to respond to reviews.

Good app, almost. Push every notification. Except when the watch disconnected and reconnect again, the notification won't be cleared in the watch. Using Sony Smartwatch 2 with Xperia Z2

Used to like it, now not so sure. If I don't read a notification on my phone, then it will show only that notification as soon as others arrive, so I cannot glimpse at the screen an find out what was sent to me, I have to go into the app and read all the massages, or just go to the phone and mark them as read, making this app useless.

This is a fantastic app, works great with my SBH52. Unfortunately because it's not a smartwatch it can't use the app to its full potential. Great support from the Jonas, super fast response when I emailed him in regards to using the SBH52 with his app. If you do need to clear all events and you don't have a smartwatch, you need to go through the actual app, not via the "New Events > My Applications " for your smart device.

Doesn't work anymore, since upgrade to Lollipop 5.1.1. Also, there were problems with WhatsApp group chats, especially the muted ones. Whenever I received non-muted ones from individual chats, it would send me all messages, including the muted ones from groups, thus erasing the individuals. Any fix would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I wish if the selection was a little more simple, a lot of things i don't know what they are, and also Please change the app icon to something more cool and modern, this icon look like a Target

Awesome notification system and probably the best of what's available. However, recently I have noticed that the app doesn't include the contents anymore, only the name of the app. Facebook messenger, snapchat usually includes the name of the sender, etc. Please have a look! Otherwise great app!

Great notifier app. So far, the only thing I'd like are better filters, so I could (for example) filter out Titanium Backup's "##% - App Name v#.#.#" notifications but not its "Backup Complete" notification. The Block List would quickly become unmanageably large if I tried to use it to filter the progress notifications.

Works great with my SBH52. Notification show as expected. Only two features I wish to have in the future: 1) Being able to deselect all the apps in apps setting 2) Backup and restore in text/JSON/Yaml format. Many thanks!
