Ok, but there’s wasted space.

Fair implementation, except that the close button occupies 25% of the screen!
That doesn’t leave much on this already tiny screen.

現時点では

Googleの検索がまともの出来ないのが非常に残念、画面表示で急上昇ワードが邪魔して検索窓が枠外上に飛ばされる、日本でアプリを出すなら、超有名検索エンジンが使えないでブラウザを使えるとは言えない

Works as intended!

Skeptical at first but actually works as specified which I appreciate majorly!

Been a life saver when I go to the restroom without my phone but can still pull up ESPN lol

Only giving 4 stars due to when you do search for something, I have a black bar with an “X” that takes up 25% of the Apple Watch screen…that’s a good amount of screen being used for what can just be a floating, see through “X” over the page

Can’t use anything but DuckDuckGo??

I hate DuckDuckGo. I don’t want it to be my search engine. I want to use regular Google - but I’m forced to use DDG. Please make this a feature.

Unable to cancel subscription

Good app but unable to cancel subscription after returning my watch. There is no way to cancel the subscription from any device other than what it was purchased from.

Cookieが使えない

Apple WatchでTwitterのDMを返せれば便利だなと思い購入。ブックマークに保存し、Twitterにログインしたのですが、ページを閉じるとログイン情報が保存されておらず、パスワードを要求されました。 Apple Watchの仕様なのかと思いましたが、メールアプリからTwitterのURLを開いてログインすると、アプリを終了してもログイン情報が維持されていました。 Cookieさえ使えれば神アプリだと思います。今後のバージョンアップに期待しています。

追記 WatchOSの制限だそうです。WatchOS12(26?)に期待

ご丁寧なご感想ありがとうございます！ログイン状態が保持されないのはご不便ですよね。µBrowser は現在、watchOSの制限により Cookie の完全な保持ができません。これはとても残念な制約で、私も改善されることを強く願っています。貴重なフィードバックと温かい期待の言葉、本当にありがとうございます。今後も改善に努めていきますので、何かあればいつでもご連絡ください！ – Arno

Sync-Problem

Unter iOS 18 mit Watch 3 leider kein Sync der Bookmarks mehr zwischen Companion-App und Watch-App. Reset sync data, Neustart, Neuinstallation alles nichts gebracht. Schade, wird wohl nicht mehr für die Watch 3 getestet.

Edit: Die Lösung für das Problem fand sich letztlich doch: In der Companion-App ein neues Bookmark hinzufügen, das stößt den steckengebliebenen Sync-Prozess neu an. Das Problem scheint eher bei Apple zu liegen; Reset sync data hat bei der Watch 3 noch nie was gebracht, auch nicht bei Adressbuch und Kalender.

Danke fürs Teilen deiner Erfahrung – und super, dass du eine Lösung gefunden hast! Solche Sync-Probleme können unter watchOS leider hin und wieder auftreten. Der Hinweis mit dem neuen Lesezeichen ist auf jeden Fall hilfreich. Danke nochmal für dein Feedback! – Arno

Enhancement

This app is great but there’s some problems that I feel like take it out of its price value, first is the big x when the search is opened, whenever I search something and the website shows up there’s a big x in the corner that just takes up space and I feel like it’s useless and even if u scroll up it doesn’t go away, second thing is the search engine I don’t really see why I’m limited to duckduckgo because I really hate it and having other search engines would’ve been really helpful

Hi Kor0zz, Thanks a lot for your honest feedback – I really appreciate it! You’re right about the “X” button taking up space. Unfortunately, it’s part of a system view provided by watchOS, so I can’t remove or change it directly. I’ve already submitted feedback to Apple and hope they’ll improve this in the future. As for the search engine: I started with DuckDuckGo for its simplicity and privacy focus, but I totally understand that it’s not everyone’s favorite. I’m looking into adding options for other search engines in a future update. If you have any other ideas or run into more issues, feel free to contact me anytime! – Arno

Pretty good, just missing one thing imo

Overall good browser, just wish it could do videos. Hopefully this feature will come soon

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind words! I’d love to support videos in the future too. Right now, it’s a bit tricky due to limitations in watchOS and what it allows inside apps like µBrowser. But I’m keeping an eye on what’s possible and will definitely consider it if Apple opens things up a bit more. Feel free to reach out anytime if you have more ideas or feedback! – Arno

Works, but UI is flawed.

On Apple Watch Series 10 watchOS 11, 1/4 of the screen is taken up by a black bar just for a single (x) button and more is taken up by the URL bar. This only leaves 2/3 of the watch face for web content.

To me, this makes use more difficult. Otherwise the app works.

Nicht nutzbar

Die Bedienbarkeit ist eine absolute Katastrophe und daher ist diese App für mich nicht nutzbar

Hi F zum R Danke für dein ehrliches Feedback – es tut mir leid, dass die App für dich aktuell nicht gut nutzbar ist. Ich möchte µBrowser stetig verbessern und bin für konkrete Rückmeldungen sehr dankbar. Wenn du magst, schreib mir gerne per Mail, was dich genau stört oder was besser funktionieren sollte – jede Rückmeldung hilft mir weiter! – Arno

Improvement request

I wish the black bar at the top of the web browser on the Apple Watch 10 46mm model will be reduced.

Response from developer

Hi jazzhipster Thanks for your feedback! I totally understand – that black bar does take up a lot of space on the Apple Watch screen. Unfortunately, it’s part of a system view provided by watchOS, so I can’t reduce or remove it directly. I’ve already sent feedback to Apple and really hope we’ll get more control in the future. If you have any other suggestions or questions, feel free to reach out anytime! – Arno

Gute App mit Verbesserungspotenzial

App funktioniert grundsätzlich gut. Etwas schade/unpraktisch ist der große schwarze Balken am oberen Bildrand, durch den viel Bildfläche verloren geht - insbesondere wenn man sich Bilder anguckt. Schöner wäre wenn das Bild die volle Bildschirmhöhe einnehmen würde - auch wenn man hineinzoomt.

Response from developer

Hi realmicman Vielen Dank für das Feedback – freut mich, dass die App grundsätzlich gut funktioniert! Du hast recht: Der schwarze Balken nimmt viel Platz ein, besonders bei Bildern. Leider ist dieser Teil des Interfaces von watchOS vorgegeben und kann aktuell nicht angepasst werden. Ich habe Apple bereits Feedback dazu geschickt und hoffe, dass es in Zukunft mehr Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten gibt. Wenn du weitere Ideen oder Wünsche hast, melde dich gerne jederzeit bei mir! – Arno

Good app but when will you use it?

It’s a great app for what you can do on an Apple Watch having a mini browser and being to work on 4G however I just don’t see when you would use it

DONT BUY IT

Works the same as the inside web browser already in the watch and will not be able to be used for intended purpose. Highly recommend a free version makes no difference for the level of browsing that it can perform.

Ubrowser is Uwesome

Had this little gem for awhile and quite handy when you have other devices around or just wanna use it. I’ve tested almost every website I could think of on it and it’s been able to view it. At times links to buy items link don’t go through right away but that’s not even a complaint. I’ve tested quite a few micro browsers on watch and this is by far the best on market.

Thank You!

Thanks for your awesome review! I really appreciate the feedback! Best regards Arno

Great browser, funcional on a day to day basis

Some limitations that I noticed:
-Can’t log in sites
- Can’t watch videos
- Some sites behave weirdly and some animations and imagens may not appear
-Doesn’t have browser history or saves your progress at all (single tab)

I think out of those only the last can be fixed by the developers, as they said the browser is limited by the Apple watch’s on design
