It sounds like you're looking at the iOS app, which may well have a sensible reason to exist.

I presume the GP, on the other hand, is talking about an Apple Watch app, which would only be doing something the Apple Watch already does.

They're the same thing. There's no separate Apple Watch app. This iOS app just has an Apple Watch app component that can be installed on the watch if you have one. So the reviews include both. (I think this is true in general and every Watch app is also an iOS app. You can't even setup an Apple Watch without having an iphone to pair it with.)

There aren’t really Apple Watch apps. Just iOS apps with Watch interfaces
