Review summary

Across reviews, readers praise Reader for Watch for smooth scrolling, readability, and overall usefulness as a compact watch reader, with many noting it works well after initial bugs were fixed. However, multiple users report installation/compatibility issues on certain Apple Watches, difficulties transferring or syncing books to the watch, and missing features like bookmarking or saving your place. Some also wish for better chapter navigation (links to chapters, complete chapter display) and basic navigation enhancements. Overall, it's highly capable but not universally reliable and lacks some core features.

Pros

Smooth text scrolling and readability on Apple Watch.
Reliable performance after fixes; bugs have been addressed.
Powerful, easy-to-use watch reader with strong overall usefulness.

Cons

Installation/compatibility issues on certain Apple Watches.
Difficulties transferring, sending, or syncing books to the watch.
Missing bookmarking/save-place feature.
Chapter navigation/display issues (next-chapter bug, incomplete chapters).

2026-04-26	er*****	Only shows the fist page of the chapter and scroll to the bottom and it only has a button for the next chapter. What happened to the rest of the current chapter I’m on?

2026-03-01	Sa*****	Overall your the best epub watch app. Great work on fixing the next chapter bug. No other epub app is as good as this on watch. The text scrolls really smoothly too. Hopefully one day hyperlinks that link to various chapters can be supported or images can be supported. But if not this app is great regardless.

2026-01-08	ja*****	This works great! i was hestiant because of some of the bad reviews, but either there was a bug (that was fixed) or they dont have the files and expected it to connect to books or something (which is not how it works.) It is as advertised and is super handy if I’m bored and lost my phone.
