### 5/5 — Working (mostly) on M1 & M2 MBP - Still Love it!

*2023-04-26*

WorldWatchr has been one of my favorite Apps/widget for years and years. In fact, I previously refused to update to Catalina because Apple got rid of Dashboard Widgets and I didn't want to give up WorldWatchr! Now I have an M1 & M2 MBP and I can use iPad apps!  
BIG ISSUE: I cannot Add any NEW URLs on my M1 or M2 MBPs. After tapping the Add button and if I click in either field (Title or Image URL) the App immediately closes.
The only way I got it to work at all on my new M2 MBP was to copy the app Pref files (and some other files that I can't remember) from the older M1 MBP.
All of my issues started with MacOS Ventura.

### 5/5 — Working (mostly) on M1 MBP - Still Love it!

*2020-12-12, version 1.1.2*

WorldWatchr has been one of my favorite Apps/widget for years and years. In fact, I previously refused to update to Catalina because Apple got rid of Dashboard Widgets and I didn't want to give up WorldWatchr! Now I have an M1 MBP and I can use iPad apps! Much better than keeping a browser window open with my favorite animal webcams. M1, Big Sur and WorldWatchr iPad WORK! It does need some updates (keeping my fingers crossed..PLZ Piet Jonas!!!) like when in full screen (tap on small image, click open=full screen) if I mistakenly click on the image, it becomes small and I can't get out of this view unless I close the app. Still my favorite app on my new M1 MBP!

### 1/5 — app is broken and needs a serious update

*2013-01-11, version 1.0.2*

the following features are broken, manual update does not work, can NOT past URL's into URL field, can not send emails to the creators server as his server rejects canadian ISP shaw emails, i payed 3$ for an app that does not work, does not do as advertised, and hasn't been updated since 2010? i feel ripped off here.
WorldWatchr HD is NOT supported by ipad os 6.0 and up.
can NOT send emails to this guy his email server is down.

### 1/5 — World watch h d

*2011-03-29*

This is the worst app on the system, don't waste your money, very very poor. I have to rate this so O is fitting but not allowed.

### 1/5 — A rip off

*2011-01-27, version 1.0.2*

Cannot receive Web Cams as advertised

Thumbs down

### 1/5 — Save your money

*2011-01-03*

There are no active cams to view. You need to hunt them down with no help from the app, then maybe you can view them, but who knows? The samples provided don't work either!

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2010-08-31*

I have the desktop widget of this app.  It works.  This app does not.  It goes out but cannot get the cam images.

### 1/5 — waste of time and money

*2010-06-04*

it's slow, not intuitive, expensive and swamped with ads. the worst so far.

### 1/5 — lame not worth it

*2010-06-02*

this app cannot find and add web cams. you have to find them in safari and then cut and paste the URL into the app.

how lame is that?
