ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Watch Browser holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Watch Browser has 272 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of mReader for watch's written reviews are positive against 10% of Watch Browser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

mReader for watch ships an update every 2 weeks, Watch Browser fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
