Well Designed and Solid

Very smartly designed, easy to use, and reliable. You have to consider the limitations of the Apple Watch platform; don't expect a full web browsing experience. But it's great for quickly checking text-based websites.

The developer is obviously thoughtful and talented. Pay for the Pro upgrade. It's worth the price!

White Screen, No Support

This browser does fill the watch screen. However, when I try to zoom in to read such small print, the screen turns completely white. I can’t pinch to zoom back out. Nothing fixes that white screen. Using the App Support button on this page, I emailed them about this issue on August 3rd. It is now August 29th. I’ve received no response.
