  • Updated and Flawless

    When I first purchased this app and the Apple Watch was new, there were a lot of bugs as there always are in new hardware/software. I initially gave a two-star review because crashes kept the app from opening.

    I emailed the developer and he replied right away personally concerned about my issue. I have to say now that I give this developer a lot of credit for fixing the bugs, enhancing the app, and creating something the likes of which the App Store was missing.

    Thanks, Jacoh.

  • Great Solution

    This app is exactly what I was looking for. I searched web forums; Everyone said you can't read a book on such a small screen. I was ready to find a way to make my own app like this. Thank you Wear Reader. This is a great solution the the problem of reading a book on the Apple Watch.
  • interesting concept

    I have been looking for an app that will let me read books and documents from my wrist. This app works, but is a little quirky. Files take a while to load, and I get a parse error sometimes. However, the developer is extremely responsive. I would love it if I could read on my watch, and then pick up on my phone later. My watch isn't my primary reading device, but I want to be able to read on it when I can't have my phone with me or I have a few minutes to kill. Then, I'd like to be able to pick up later on my phone. Right now, I don't think syncing is possible. If this feature can be added, it would make the app more useful for me. Great start though.

  • Stunning just needs one thing!

    Absolutely love the app however I only ask for one thing! An auto scroller for traditional reading would be amazing. So I would never have to scroll down! Of course with an option for speed in the settings.
  • 4 stars for a reason.

    I really like this app. Works like it says, and it's really nice being able to take my books from Dropbox and put them on my watch.

    I'm not really a speed reader though. I believe that reading one word at a time can give me a massive headache. However I see that they have implemented a "traditional reading" option where you can read your books like and actual book.

    I noticed, however, that if I turn my watch or have to stop for some reason and I come back that the app refreshes and put you all the way at the start of the page, or chapter you started on. This, I believe, is VERY annoying. Mostly because I have to scroll all the way down to where I stopped to pick back up where I left off and if I were to accidentally turn my wrist it does it again. It can be a little frustrating.

    However like I said, the app works like it says it does. And that really my only complaint, other than I think it's a little over priced. (Should be $.99 IMO) but all-in-all it's a pretty good app.

    If you fix this problem I will rate it a 5 star.

  • Hate it

    I was so excited to find an app where I could read a book on my Apple Watch. I paid $1.99 and realized immediately I just wasted that money because as soon as it started, I'm like, do I really want to read one word at a time flashing across the screen? And then my watch screen kept shutting down because of saving the battery life... It's just not a good experience. Frustrating.

  • Works well, perfectly compatible!!!

    I love reading and being able to imports books and stuff so this app was perfect! 5/5 for sure, definitely worth the $.99!
  • So far so good...

    I didn’t encounter any problems using my pre-existing ebooks in the epub format and it handled everything quite well. As you can probably imagine, reading books on your watch is not the most senile way of going about it but either way it does it’s job well. Handling PDFs was a bit finicky and that could be improved.
