User Reviews

Most reviews focus on the app's monetization and reliability issues. The core feature—watch-based web browsing—receives persistent criticism due to paywalls, crashes, and limited free use. Users also report bot-check hurdles and note that similar results can be achieved with Shortcuts for free, making the app seem low value despite the basic capability to browse on the Apple Watch.

Pros

Provides web browsing on Apple Watch as the core feature.

Cons

Paywall / subscription required for continued use or unlimited browsing (frequent complaint).
Crashes or the app exiting after first use (repeated across reviews).
Free usage is limited or misleading (only a few searches before payment).
Captcha/robot verification issues during use (notably 'I\'m not a robot' prompts).
Many reviewers suggest using Shortcuts for free functionality, reducing app value.

WHO THE HELL PAYS FOR A BROWSER?!?!

by so*****, 2026-04-12

Everything this app does can be done just as well with a shortcut in the shortcuts app. All it does is ask you what website you want to visit and show Apple’s built in WebView on the watch. This exact same functionality is available within the shortcuts app and you can download for free. After doing nothing useful for you, this app has the audacity to ask you to pay for it. You get maybe 10 free searches before you need to start a subscription to continue. Here’s a tutorial on how to make the shortcut because it’s really that easy: 1. Open the shortcuts app on iOS and click the plus in the top right corner of your screen. This will create a new shortcut 2. Use the search bar and search for “Choose from Menu”. Tap on it and it will automatically be placed in your shortcut. 3. Click the highlighted blue text on this component that says “Prompt” and type in your prompt. (I like “What do want to search for?”, but you can write anything. 4. Customize the 2 options that say “One” and “Two” and have the minus sign next to them by tapping on or next to the text. Enter websites you commonly visit or want easy access to. You can also use the plus sign underneath to add new menu items. 5. Add a menu item and name it “Custom” or “Other” or anything along those lines. 6. Open the search bar once more and search for “Show Web View”. Tap to add to your shortcut. 7. Notice under the choose from menu component that there are individual items named after the menu entries you created earlier. Drag the Show Web View component under one of those items. 8. Change the URL to the URL of your desired website. Repeat steps 5-8 for each of these menu entry items. 9. For the item named “Custom”, edit the URL and select “Ask Each Time”. This option will be located just above your keyboard. 10. Use the dropdown arrow at the top center of your screen to edit the name and icon of your shortcut as you desire. The shortcut will sync over to your watch automatically (though it may take a few seconds for it to show up). You can now open the shortcuts app on your watch and tap on the shortcut to use it.

The app let me search a couple times and the website I was going on it kept asking me to do this. “I’m not a robot” thing and then I kept getting the “I’m not a robot” thing wrong because I couldn’t see anything and I got out of the app and went back in and then it made me pay for the app
