## What is Watch Words?

Learn new words by just checking the time! When you add the Watch Words complication to your watch face, it will immediately start displaying a word and its definition so you will see and revise the word each time you check the time. Words get refreshed every hour so you seamlessly learn 12 hours a day! Learning has never been smoother and more effortless.

Features:

- Use pre-defined categories - start learning Business English Verbs, Nouns or Adjectives.
- Create your own sets of words - do you learn other languages or subjects? Create your own sets and keep learning.
- Decide at what hours the words appear - you start your day early? Start displaying words at 6 or 7am. You start your day later and prefer to be active till midnight? Words can start appearing daily as late as at 11am.
- Do you feel that you learn a word if you see it for three days in a row? No problem - decide for how many days should each daily set of words appear.

Let the learning start! Just download the app, select a category, add a complication to your watch face and become a vocabulary master.

This app requires Apple Watch for providing full functionality.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2025-01-26, version 1.1*

I recently purchased this app in hope of help someone enhance new words. This app starts with a free demo version and remain in the free version after the purchase. I requested for a refund and never heard back from this company and also requested a refund with Apple. Please don’t fall prey to this falsely informed app.

### 3/5 — Words

*2023-06-30, version 1.1*

It’s nice to have definitions I just don’t like that we have to enter them and they are cut off if it has to many words. Can’t read all of it…

### 2/5 — Applewatchでは単語の追加ができません

*2023-03-18, version 1.1*

有料版をさらに購入して試しましたが、applewatchではデモしか選択できません。 更新も4年前からされておらず、同じ被害にあう方がでないように注意喚起でコメントしておきます。

### 2/5 — すぐ表示が終わる

*2022-02-09, version 1.1*

アプリとしてはいいのですが
「今日は以上です」となり
すぐに表示されなくなります。
「明日はより多くのフラッシュカードを提供します」と書かれていますが
表示されません。

### 5/5 — This app is a good idea!

*2020-02-16*

Man why is there «Done for today» sign? It would be better a word there.

### 1/5 — こまった

*2019-10-13, version 1.1*

### 1/5 — Never works!

*2019-01-09, version 1.1*
