4 ★ I'm on a Fossil Gen 5 and this app works pretty well. Though my only complaints are that I can't scroll with the bezel. Perhaps y'all could work on implementing it?

2 ★ Far too slow, even for simple pages.

5 ★ Excellent. Beyond expectations. Really pleased. Used with an armani smart watch via Google wear.

1 ★ Very disappointing app from this company Please improve it Web pages not opening Google not working

5 ★ This is a dreamed app. I love this app . It's helpfull for me

1 ★ Really so sad for the purchase amount debited twice

1 ★ this app sucks it is not a good app do not download because it won't ask you to pay to view in this browser is slow I'd search for a different web browser app

2 ★ This browser is unusable on wear os. When you want to type something in a text box, the keyboard covers the whole screen so you can't see what your typing. I was trying to search a webpage on Google, which took many minutes just to not have a typo. When I finally found the site I was looking for, the browser said I had to then buy it because my trial ran out or something. That's a pretty sad trial if it only lasts for five minutes of failing at using the keyboard. I mean, the keyboard on wear os is pretty painful to use. I'm using it to write this review in fact. But this browser wins a medal for somehow achieving peak pain when typing. Why can't there be a good quality simple browser for watches?

2 ★ Having tried the free version on a TicWatch Pro, I wasn't tempted to try the paid one. This app might work well with a set of pre-defined bookmarks (BBC "News" comes very low on my list of things to look at!), but searching was unusable. The default Wear keyboard provides no "enter" key and neither does the app. Appfour offer a different keyboard, but as far as I'm concerned that is just more bloat and more expense and where is the guarantee that it will actually work? (I didn't buy).

5 ★ I used to think this app was a really dumb idea, because what meaningful web stuff can you do on a tiny screen? But it perfectly fits a need for me. Every morning I use it to open my church's simple, text-oriented web page that gives the Scripture readings and saints' names for the day. By using the watch I need not juggle the phone and open Bible(s).

2 ★ I have just got a new smart watch and I wanted to use a browser on it, so I downloaded this. When I first opened it up, it seemed very slow and buggy. I wanted to look at the new so I opened up BBC news. As soon as it was open my watch crashed. Even though it very powerful!! If you have a low end watch don't use this app.

3 ★ I've got a fossil gen 5 watch. I mean it's OK when it's working. But other than that it's really slow.i would like update when you can scroll down with bezel

1 ★ so i bought the flat rates for all the apps a year ago. now i haven't used them in a while so I uninstall it then reinstalled the app because i feel updating waists storage. Now i need to buy the flat rate again! I bought it before! I'm not buying it again! I tried linking my account but it didnt work. There needs to be a restore purchases option! and this goes for all the other apps too

3 ★ Would be much better with a zoom out option. Default zoom is unusable for some websites. Otherwise consider this a paid-for app and it works just fine. It's extra $10 on top of your $200 watch for a suite of polished apps that no other developers have bothered to make.

5 ★ I am new to smart watches and recently purchaced the Huawei Watch 2. I was looking for a good app to for news feeds with no luck and so tried this. I am very impressed, for my use case BBC News, it worked very well apart from the obvious limitations of screen size. Takes voice commands, easy to book mark and works surprisingly well
