## Frequently asked questions about PDF Watch Viewer

### What does PDF Watch Viewer do?

PDF Watch Viewer allows you to view PDF documents directly on your Apple Watch. It enables you to transfer files from your iPhone to your watch, so you can access them without needing your phone nearby once the transfer is complete.

### How can I add PDFs to the app?

You can add PDFs to PDF Watch Viewer through various methods. This includes sharing files from your web browser, directly from your iCloud storage, or by opening them from your email, social media apps, or messenger applications.

### Is PDF Watch Viewer free to use?

The application is free to download and use, but it does offer in-app purchases. This suggests that while core functionality may be free, certain features or enhancements might require a purchase.

### Do I need my iPhone connected to view PDFs on my watch?

Once a PDF has been sent to your Apple Watch using the app, you do not need your iPhone connected to view it. The files are transferred to your watch for standalone viewing.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.1 — 2026-07-11

• Fixed a misleading "File transfer timed out" message that appeared even when the file was still being delivered in the background.
• Added a local notification when a queued file finally arrives on your Apple Watch (great for Series 3 and other slower Bluetooth pairings).
• New Diagnostics menu (long-press the tip label at the bottom) with an "Export logs" action to help us troubleshoot your reports faster.
• Improved handling of the free 1-file limit: files still in flight now count toward the limit correctly.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-05-20

This is the long-overdue update bringing the app back to life:

• Apple Watch viewer now uses the full screen — no more white side bars.
• Memory leak fixed: large PDFs no longer crash the Watch.
• Reliable iPhone ↔ Apple Watch sync with retry, timeout and clearer error messages.
• "Restore Purchase" now works correctly (was broken for years).
• Layout adapted for Apple Watch Series 7+, Ultra and SE.
• New center-tap menu replaces the discontinued Force Touch menu — Prev/Next page, Zoom +/− and Delete reachable on every Watch.
• Many crashes and small bugs squashed.

Thanks for sticking with us!

### 1.0.6 — 2019-01-08
