About

This is a version of the "Universal Widget" that supports Complications and can be called directly from a watch face app. Due to some Garmin restrictions, I had to create a separate app supporting Complications. If you like this app, please leave a review, it helps a lot! Do you want to see even more data than your watch face app can provide? With one touch Universal App provides ALL types of data your watch face is missing. You can pick and choose your perfect data screens out of over 50 different metrics. It can be launched directly from a watch face app - here is the list of watch face apps that support launchung Universal App directly by pressing left edge of the TIME: Glance Ultra: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/1bed8f69-2e34-46e4-9786-3166fa3c6ab2 EASY+: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/7c993e2b-70b3-459a-bbe0-db48a89af5a8 BIG EASY IQ: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/1c8d4883-b4b2-49f3-b30c-954698cef794 Glance Pro: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/ac4be3ce-f0f3-4c49-be01-5fa52614ab2b Glance Dual Screen: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/5c0fe72b-f045-4366-a878-d3e67c600868 BIG EASY: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/86ec352b-da01-4806-8972-770c6d32a5e8 EASY Round: https://apps.garmin.com/apps/9a619d99-3e5b-4eec-81e7-006655d797cc PRICE: The app is FREE to use. It will function and show most of the metrics without a payment. Only a few metrics are locked and will require a purchase of an unlock code. There is a 7 days testing period for the paid metrics. Here is the list of paid metrics: - All Weather related metrics (for both providers - Garmin Weather and Open Weather). - Body Battery and Stress Level. These metrics are not available on most watches (technical limitation), so buying them will not make them work. Please test before you buy - if you see "N/A" as a value for that metric, it will not work on your watch untill its firmware updated to System 5. PAYMENT: paid metrics require a $3.49 "unlock code" purchase. The code is shared with "Universal Widget", so if you already bought it, no need to buy it again - just use the same code. Please fully test the app before buying an unlock code - there are no refunds on digital goods. If you are happy with the app, you can buy the unlock code here (one time purchase): https://www.mobiledriveway.com/ua.html Payment page is a bit minimalistic at the moment, but don't be alarmed - it is a simple PayPal purchase. After the payment, you should receive the unlock code right away (to your PayPal email). Check spam mail folder - an unrecogrized email is often moved there. If you still can't find the email, please send me a message through Contact Developer (please include your PayPal transaction ID) and I'll email you the code as soon as I'm able to get to a computer. New payment process is in development, so please be patient. Some app features highlights: - Weather: both, from Open Weather Map and Garmin Weather - TEMPE sensor metric. It can take up to 1 minute for the value to appear (related to the TEMPE sensor broadcast period). The app shows previous reading if it is within 30 minutes from current time, but it puts it in square brackets "[]" to indicate that it is not current. If you don't have external TEMPE sensor connected to your watch, it will show N/A. - Graphs for heart rate, pressure, and altitude
