### 4/5 — Fsh

### 4/5 — Great for cheating in school

*2024-11-04, version 2.0.2*

honestly great for looking up things in school especially when cheating on tests

### 3/5 — Thanks

*2024-03-22, version 2.0.2*

I mean I don’t use it much but it has not charged me

### 2/5 — It’d be great if it was free.

*2024-03-06, version 2.0.2*

Seriously? Two free searches?

### 2/5 — Needs some work

*2024-03-06, version 2.0.2*

Not bad for a watch browser. But I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that you have to pay them a never ending subscription fee to have access to online links. Especially when no pictures or videos load. You also can’t make transactions on any websites like ( www.TheWhiteCrow.Store ) for example. I tried out the free trial, but I will delete after it’s over, Not worth it!!👎🏼

### 1/5 — Stolen

*2024-02-28, version 2.0.2*

Be aware this is a copy of the original app, the real one only has you pay $1 and you’re able to use it forever. This app is attempting to extract money from people using a similar name and icon to trick people to pay for a subscription. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this app. The real one has a very similar name. It’s just a weird u instead.

### 1/5 — Horrrible

*2024-02-13, version 2.0.2*

Charges you $0.99 to get the app and then tries to charge you $6.99 a week to continue use. Nope nope nope, that’s ridiculous. What a waste of a dollar. Do not download this app. I wish my watch had a browser too, but for seven bucks a week, just pull your phone out.

### 1/5 — £365 per year.  That’s hilarious

*2024-01-28, version 2.0.2*

£6.99 a Week , £365 per year.
Let’s say £3.99 perpetual use.
DONT WASTE YOUR TIME.
AVOID IT

### 2/5 — BEWARE! This copycat app is typo-squatting!

*2024-01-26, version 2.0.2*

This copycat app is pretending to be another app with a very slight name change (typo-squatting) and even using an extremely similar app icon (it fooled me and some others too judging from the reviews). This is extremely deceptive, and to make it worse, it offers similar functionality, but most of it is BEHIND A PAYWALL (and possibly a SUBSCRIPTION for further usage). Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this copycat. Besides the blatant attempts at masquerading as another, much better app, this app’s functionality is extremely limited (even disregarding the limitations of having to use the Watch’s built-in browser). AND you have to pay (AND, from other reviews, apparently get subscriber) to unlock bookmarks and history. Ridiculous. I haven’t purchased/subscribed and will definitely never do so at several dollars per week, especially since this app is trying to trick users into downloading the wrong app.

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2024-01-17, version 2.0.2*

So first, you get 5 free searches and then you have to SUBSCRIBE to plus for $6.99 a WEEK! This app is such a robbery. Get a different one.

### 3/5 — Ehh

*2024-01-16, version 2.0.2*

Sorta a pain   But works for quick lookups when you can’t grab your phone.  I have access to google but can’t scroll like I’d expect for 7.00 a week. Tried it- doubt I’ll keep it. 3 days free then 6.99 a week. Set up through phone then use the icon on watch. Not very discrete when discrete is needed. If you don’t draw the word correct,be prepared to redo it 10 times

### 1/5 — bad

*2026-02-07, version 2.0.2*

it dont even be loading and very slow and u have to pay for regular things

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-04-01*

I personally don’t like it but others mightI thought that it would have been better than it actually was kinda dissatisfied &. I disappointed o well Good Luck everyone

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2024-10-06, version 2.0.2*

Have to have subscription to even use on Apple Watch after 3 free browses.

### 1/5 — Review

*2024-07-29, version 2.0.2*

It kept on asking me to give a review

### 1/5 — charged me $20 for something that i did not consent to

*2024-07-03, version 2.0.2*

I downloaded it like any normal download but when i double click it charged me $20 when it displayed free trial THEN $6.99/week

### 1/5 — SCAM APP

*2024-05-24, version 2.0.2*

Beware of the never ending 7 day scam subscription. Apple will not assist you in refunds either, with the service rep telling me to report the app for fraud to my credit card company. STAY AWAY.

### 1/5 — Way overpriced

*2024-05-17, version 2.0.2*

3 uses then a rediculous amount of money per month.

### 1/5 — Price seems to be a scam

*2024-04-27, version 2.0.2*

$6.99 / week wtf‽ A watch browser isn’t worth the price of a new watch every year ($363.48). It feel so outrageous of a price that it seems to me they are just hoping to get people to sign up for the free trial and then not remember to cancel for a month and get charged a ton in the meantime. This is worth maybe $6.99 one time payment or at most a couple bucks a month. An ongoing weekly charge is unbelievable.

### 1/5 — I have to pay for this?

*2024-03-25, version 2.0.2*

Garbage.

### 1/5 — Not free

*2024-03-17, version 2.0.2*
