Has double tap been useful for you? (alien.top)

I’ve been really disappointed by the new Double Tap feature since I got the S9 last month. On top of not having many use-cases, the watch didn’t recognize every time I did the gesture which made it really frustrating to use.

I just realized though that I like to wear my bands on the slightly looser side, which I guess makes it way harder for the watch to recognize when you do the gesture. Tightening up my band has helped tremendously and the watch basically never misses it now.

The lack of many use-cases still is a bummer though. How are you guys using it?

Huh, so I guess it really is the same as the old accessibility version. I gave Apple the benefit of the doubt, thought it would be much better, and it indeed had to use the new watch tech.

But from what I've heard the new version is just as inconsistent as the old one... That's the main reason I stopped using the old one, it was just annoying that half the time it didn't work.
