Pretty decent so far, but missing a few key things
Since I have the GPS Series 4, I’m always connected to my phone anyway, relying on it as a tether is perfectly fine for me.
It works just as you’d expect, Click the button on the Watch App Store and the iPhone app comes in as well, you accept a EULA and you’re in buisness! Google searching, the only thing I’ve used this app for so far, is fairly easy.
However I do have a few feature requests that I think would make this app better;
1. Zoom!
Many current Apple Watch apps, like Mail and Photos let the user zoom into their content by double-tapping with one finger.
This app lacks that feature, making non-mobile friendly sites hard to read and navigate.
2. Larger font.
I have the largest watch Apple makes. A 44mm Series 4. While my vision is definitely not the best, with my glasses on I can read very small print. Even still, I find that the description text on a Google search is sometimes hard to read and there's no way to increase the font size through your browser. I understand that I’m looking at a web browser that is literally a square inch large, but even still adding font size controls would make this app way more beneficial for users of my size Watch and smaller.
3. Put searching front-and-center, maybe with a slightly different, larger UI that gives the user just a few buttons, like a search, type URL, and maybe a copy-paste system or favourites system controlled through the iPhone?
3.5: Let the user choose their engine on their phone, not watch. Most everyone will use Google anyway, so set that as the default, and others can be picked through the iPhone.
4. Move some of the header controls. You could easily change the forward and back into JUST edge swipes, the refresh being a swipe from the top of the page. You could merge the Options and Info buttons in the force-touch menu into one thing, move the close buttons into their own view that shows all pages open, like a mobile browser, and add your new search screen and URL entry into one thing.
5. Handoff.
Make it so that you can use the iOS handoff feature to send a page to Safari on the iPhone, Mac, or other devices. Other apps like Nano for Reddit include Handoff as a paid feature.
Don’t think of these suggestions as me being critical of your app, because I’m not. I honestly love having a web browser on my Watch and I totally appreciate that your app doesn’t have ads or any other way of generating money. I can see potential in this app, with the right features it could be the best browser for the Apple Watch.
Doesn’t work anymore

Odd

Hi Ash Drygon! The "Some Taps won't redirect." notice occurs when you tap on a page, within the prompt to confirm if you would like to tap in the location you had tapped. What that means is that, if you were to tap on a link, for example (something that redirects to another page), you would receive a prompt asking if you would like to load the redirected page or not. If you were to tap on something that does not redirect, however, such as a menu, you would receive no prompts, and in order to see the new state of the page you would need to tap the "Reload" button at the top middle of the screen, and when prompted you would select "Resnap". What that does is it snapshots the new state of the same page without reloading it, and streams it to the watch. I would love for these messages to be more clear, but as you can see, I have very little space to work with. :) For more information, please see the Instructions within the app, either on the watch or on the phone. Take care, and thank you for the positive rating!
Good App!!!
