### 1/5 — Pages don’t load

*2026-05-27, version 1.1.16*

Every web page just shows a white screen

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-04-16, version 1.1.16*

It’s a great app, simple, fast, organic. I have just one criticism that the app sometimes ‘times out’ with a white screen when wrist is down. I’m sure the bug will be squashed soon. Long live the Antz!

### 4/5 — Can’t beat it

*2026-04-15, version 1.1.16*

It slaps these guys slap I found the ant browser through the Chirp AI real talk the products are very functional and cheap

### 5/5 — No subscription

*2026-03-16, version 1.1.16*

Cheers for not having a subscription model, I surely wouldn’t have paid for it otherwise. Google oauth doesn’t work outside of “gen .1 browser” which doesn’t save cookies. I’d appreciate it if you fix this

### 5/5 — Pretty good browser

*2026-01-11, version 1.1.13*

You get like 5 web views a day (basically a browser session) which is enough for me but you can pay 5$ for unlimited which is nice.

The browser is actually better than the native safari and can open modern web pages better like reddit and other news sites.

### 5/5 — Almost perfect

*2026-01-09, version 1.1.13*

This thing is super great and better than anything I’ve ever used on an Apple Watch, only improvement would be more daily searches but at least you get daily searches unlike others. Get this one.

### 5/5 — Worked so well!!

*2026-01-02, version 1.1.13*

My browser wasn’t working until I got recommended this by someone! It’s really quick and you don’t have to pay to use like some other apps.

### 5/5 — Great browser

*2025-12-27, version 1.1.13*

This is the best apple watch browser, it shows the full page and loads pretty fast. It also has bookmarks that help open your most used pages easily. Totally recommend it.

### 5/5 — What is this, a browser, for ants?

*2025-12-07, version 1.1.13*

I love antbrowser, don’t use a browser a lot on my s10 but when I do Ant has never let me down. Simple and efficient for a free watch browser!

### 5/5 — Only Full Screen Browser!

*2025-12-01, version 1.1.13*

Been looking everywhere for an Apple Watch browser! This is the only one that makes full use of my Apple Watch 10’s big screen!
