What's New in UrbanWatch

3.3

February 16, 2026

Here's what's new in UrbanWatch 3.3: - Translate! Translate definitions and examples into (almost) any language! Just tap the translate button on any word definition. This uses on-device translation and isn't always perfect, so please keep that in mind! This feature is for UrbanWatch+ only, so if you haven't upgraded yet now would be an awesome time to do so!

Bussin. but I was gonna ask if this is at all affiliated with urban dictionary cuz I had that app o my old phone but now I can't find it on the app store

One Problem

You cannot search for ANYTHING that has more than one word. Why? If you try using one word without hitting search, youโ€™ll often see defintions for phrases with more than one words. So why tease this if you cannot search it? This is literally the only limiting factor, get rid of this and you have a great successor to the original app (RIP).

4/5 until this is fixed.

Response from developer

Hey there! Thanks for this feedback, I'm not sure how this bug slipped through the cracks. I have an update coming next week that fixes this, and adds a couple small features too. Fingers crossed this solves the search issue. Thanks again :)

Looks Modern, Lacks Basics

I love the look and feel of this app. It makes Urban Dictionary feel native on iOS while staying true to the UD design. However, there are a few major flaws to this app. Firstly, inserting a space breaks the search, so you cannot search for multiple words. Second, there is no way to see a scrolling list of definitions for the same word like on UD, so you must click each definition individually and swipe back constantly. Third, there is no way to vote (๐Ÿ‘/๐Ÿ‘Ž) on words, which means I cannot participate in improving the site. If these three things were fixed, this would be the best UD client for iOS. However, Iโ€™ll have to go back to the default UD app for now, since these features are critical to me.

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it! All these concerns have been addressed in an upcoming update that should arrive next week at the latest. Hopefully you can revise your review if the update fixes the issues you were experiencing. Thanks again :)

Great interface but the search is broken

Probably the only app to access UD that looks modern. However when your search contains multiple words, it doesn't work.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. This has been fixed in an update coming out sometime next week. Hopefully you'll consider revising your review if the update solves the issue. Thanks again :)

Useless

The simplest of searches donโ€™t work. Go to scribble your search and the app just takes you back to the Home Screen. Looked for support and itโ€™s a DM to Twitter. Iโ€™ve been waiting for a few days now and no reply. I wouldnโ€™t mind if I had a courtesy message telling me there was a back log but nothing. Bit like the App.
