1. If you enter wrong passwotd on login, nothing happens. Add some feedback/error message.
2. When I logged in, it shows device "gts" and NO option to change it to Mi band 5. Not sure why it cannot find my device. I havent turned on any restrictions. It is already paired with my phone / Mi fit app.

If I try to download a WF, AmazFaces show me:
"Synchronize the watch with the MI Fit! app...."
Of course my MI Band 5 is synchronized with the MI Fit! app.
When I then touch "Retry Install", an error message is shown for a short time:
"Somethig wrong: e.m.a.r0.n: Location permission missing (code 3)"
For what AmazFaces needs the location?
I wll not give AmazFaces this perission, but for testing, I give it.
AmazFaces shows "scanning for devices..."
I touch "Retry Install"
AmazFaces shows "scanning for devices..."
...
I could not install a WF with AmazFaces .
MI Fit! is working all the time.
I got a firmware update to V1.0.1.32 just before trying AmazFaces .

"Of course my MI Band 5 is synchronized with the MI Fit! app."
This means that you need to synchronize data with Mi Fit, since the connection may hang.

I'm not the bug.

Can you record the installation process from your phone to understand the problem?

The app is although enough fine to be used but there are some errors -
1. This beta version of this app always says "synchronise the band with Mi fit app " if it's already synced .
2. The biggest problem is this whenever I add any watchface/ dial as my favorite it shows an error that this user ID has no favourites.
Till now I have not found any more problems . I will reply back if I find any more .
And please don't forget to fix them in the stable version of the amazfaces app .
Thanks.

I don't get why everything's so complicated...
Why not just let the app download the faces to the correct location on the band (without having to replace a previous installed face) so it appears in the Local band displays page in Mi Fit?
That's how the Mi Band 5 Watchfaces app works and it's great.
No fooling around with bluetooth connections and syncing or anything.
