Absolutely love this browser. MUST DOWNLOAD for apple watch. Whoever made this must be a champion!!

### 1/5 — Really confusing UI

*2015-08-24, version 1.0*

The browser's UI is not intuitive and the pages are really confusing with all the links and pictures everywhere. I would use a competitor browser like WatchWeb if you are looking for an Apple Watch web browser.
