## Review summary

iWatch PDF lets you view and edit PDFs on Apple Watch and is praised for speed and broad usefulness, with strong developer responsiveness. However, recurring downsides include unreliable syncing, annoying subscription prompts, and a clunky watch UI, plus import rotation bugs and difficulty handling large documents. The app’s concept is valuable, but reliability and UX improvements are needed for consistently smooth usage.

### Pros

- View PDFs on Apple Watch (core feature)
- Very versatile with broad use cases (musicians, students, professionals)
- Active developer involvement and responsiveness to feedback
- Fast performance and high quality when it works
- In-app editing capabilities for on-watch PDFs (e.g., lyrics, setlists)

### Cons

- Unreliable syncing/upload process with long wait times and repeated retries
- Frequent subscription prompts and paywalls that block or limit usage
- Poor watch UI/UX: navigation is clunky, taps not registering, hard to reach pages
- Import issues: PDFs rotate after import and editing features are limited
- Performance issues with large documents (partial uploads, need multiple attempts)
