For non-samsung smartphone users: Gear Fit officially only works with Samsung smartphones. However GearFitManager version 1.108 works as well on phones as with this app, so we recommend to use version 1.108 if you have problems.
For Gear Fit2 please use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=smartwatchstudios.app.gearfit20navigation
