Wear Reader. Very nice way to read your books right on the go, just put your headphones on and start dreaming. Excellent tool, very easy to use, very friendly and intuitive.

Great for on the go!. I love that I can read my favorite books on the subway while still being able to hold on to the bar with both hands!

“readable content”. I couldn’t upload any books, no matter the file format. the idea is cool but this needs bugs to be worked out

Quite good. I like having the option to use this with a smartwatch but I feel the screen is too small to fully enjoy the reading experience. That said I’ve noticed many great enhancing features and the design looks very professional. There are also quite a few ways to add your books etc. but iBooks isn’t among them which I hope will be added in the future.

I Didnt listen, it doesnt work. I thought id be a lucky one so i ignored the reviews. Its just a black screen on the watch, with a spinning dial that spins forever until the watch locks, never loading, never doing anything. The phone side gives no feedback other than a toggle to sync it to the watch, i toggle it on and have no idea if its been loaded on, its its currently uploading, if it failed, nothing. Just a black screen and a useless phone app. Also literally the only advertised app that has regular reading instead of only speed reading so thats a bummer. Really wish it worked.

App works better than well. I want to say thanks for the app. A few reviewers point out that the Apple Watch auto-off setting interrupts reading. And though at first this was disappointing, I found that by placing my finger on the edge of the screen while using the app the auto-off never triggers. I hope people are aware of this! A simple mod that turned Wear Reader into the app I'd been waiting for. Productivity doubled. Well, best wishes and thanks for this weird fabulous idea. I believe that all mobile reading apps will be rapid serial within 7 or 8 years and hope you folks get some deserved credit for that.

Trash. Files don’t upload!! Don’t waste your money!! It uploaded one of my PowerPoints then tried to upload another PowerPoint, said file error, deleted the one I uploaded and when I tried to reinstall it said file error!! How?? If it uploaded just 2 minutes ago?!

didn’t load at all. the app never loaded on my watch, complete waste of money

App is a joke. Waste of time. Wast of money. Misleading. Let me know if and when there is an app that allows you to view a .pdf file (including pictures and formatting, not just some crappy black and white text) like it would display on a pc. that has scroll, bookmark, and zoom capabilities and I’ll buy it.

Doesn’t work. The books never sync to your phone so don’t waste your time or money. I have requested a refund.

Quality app. It seems like a very good app and you can change it a lot so it suits you as the listener. It seems like it would be a very good app to have on apple watch as you can listen to audio books anywhere you are. My only problem is that I wish you could buy books straight from the app rather than having to import books

2021 Still does not work. Needs to be updated, good concept, doesn’t work right now.

Doesn’t work. I read some reviews on this app and I saw a few good comments so I said what the hell I will try it out, but after I paid and downloaded I realized I had wasted $1.99 and 20 minutes of my time trying to make it work. I should have trusted the bad reviews. 🙁

I can’t get this thing to work :(. I want my money back because I don’t know how to import books from iBooks to this app!

Top app. Really great app to read with on my watch. Scrolling is easy and very simple to setup. Makes so easy to read and enjoy great books.

So far so good.... I didn’t encounter any problems using my pre-existing ebooks in the epub format and it handled everything quite well. As you can probably imagine, reading books on your watch is not the most senile way of going about it but either way it does it’s job well. Handling PDFs was a bit finicky and that could be improved.

interesting concept. I have been looking for an app that will let me read books and documents from my wrist. This app works, but is a little quirky. Files take a while to load, and I get a parse error sometimes. However, the developer is extremely responsive. I would love it if I could read on my watch, and then pick up on my phone later. My watch isn't my primary reading device, but I want to be able to read on it when I can't have my phone with me or I have a few minutes to kill. Then, I'd like to be able to pick up later on my phone. Right now, I don't think syncing is possible. If this feature can be added, it would make the app more useful for me. Great start though.

Not sync with Apple Watch. Book imported on iPhone, watch not syncing. Nothing showing on watch app. Apple Watch 3

I’m dumb or it’s broke. It won’t even open on my Apple Watch just gives the circle of death

Seems like a good idea. I am intrigued by this app but I don't like to use Dropbox or iCloud. Since these are the only 2 options I don't know how well it works. It would be nice to be able to get content directly off the Internet or upload PDFs directly without having to use these 2 services.

4 stars for a reason.. I really like this app. Works like it says, and it's really nice being able to take my books from Dropbox and put them on my watch. I'm not really a speed reader though. I believe that reading one word at a time can give me a massive headache. However I see that they have implemented a "traditional reading" option where you can read your books like and actual book. I noticed, however, that if I turn my watch or have to stop for some reason and I come back that the app refreshes and put you all the way at the start of the page, or chapter you started on. This, I believe, is VERY annoying. Mostly because I have to scroll all the way down to where I stopped to pick back up where I left off and if I were to accidentally turn my wrist it does it again. It can be a little frustrating. However like I said, the app works like it says it does. And that really my only complaint, other than I think it's a little over priced. (Should be $.99 IMO) but all-in-all it's a pretty good app. If you fix this problem I will rate it a 5 star.

Great way to expand the functionality of your Apple Watch. I had my Apple Watch for about 8 months before finding this app and admittedly I didn't use it much and was a little disappointed I had spent the money on it. However, after finding this app I won't be caught without my watch. I love that I can read anytime I have some down time. Whether I'm waiting in line, riding the subway or taking a break at lunch all I have to do is look at my wrist to catch up on my reading. I prefer to read using the Traditional Method where I manually scroll through "pages" of the book with many words on the screen at one time instead of the speed reading method that shows one word at a time, but I'm sure some people prefer the other method. Definitely worth using this app.

Please update. Please note that not all type of books you said work only some of pdf

Interesting concept. I never thought of the idea of reading a book on a watch - but this is what this app does. It's nice that I can have my books from Dropbox. The whole process of getting a book on the watch is flawless and very fast. I was a sceptic of the idea at first, but now it's growing on me.

Buggy. Wouldn’t sync a single book for weeks. Then when it did, the chapters nearly all started in the wrong place, despite their being fine on the phone. Then the book disappeared and I can’t get it back onto the watch.

Works well, perfectly compatible!!!. I love reading and being able to imports books and stuff so this app was perfect! 5/5 for sure, definitely worth the $.99!

Stunning just needs one thing!. Absolutely love the app however I only ask for one thing! An auto scroller for traditional reading would be amazing. So I would never have to scroll down! Of course with an option for speed in the settings.

No bugs, it just needs u to be an expert. Writing to those who rated with one * U just need to play around with it and be patient while it syncs. It works 100% properly.

Portable and interesting. I love the idea of reading on the go with this app. You basically load up an ebook and you can then read it on the go with your Apple Watch. I love the idea and it's great but the text is kinda small for reading. Nevertheless, this app can only get better, so if you like the idea of reading on the go, you can't go wrong with this app!

No!. Not easy to use. Have not figured out how to move/read a book on my watch. Regretting my purchase.

Didn’t work at all. I had high hopes for this app, the idea seemed really neat. I have an Apple Watch series 4 and I loaded both the iPhone and watch application for this app.. The iPhone app seemed functional in the sense where I could upload ebooks, but when I tried syncing it to my Apple Watch it just remained on a black screen with a loading icon that went nowhere. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I looked carefully at the file types that the app developer instructed using and used only those. Nothing worked. Wasted $1.99. Not a lot but still a waste.

Hate it. I was so excited to find an app where I could read a book on my Apple Watch. I paid $1.99 and realized immediately I just wasted that money because as soon as it started, I'm like, do I really want to read one word at a time flashing across the screen? And then my watch screen kept shutting down because of saving the battery life... It's just not a good experience. Frustrating.

Perfect! Have found no other app like it. So far, this app seems to work exactly as intended! It’s possible there could be a bit of a tech learning curve, as you need to understand what formats can be imported, and need to figure out how to get text to display in the way you want.

Updated and Flawless. When I first purchased this app and the Apple Watch was new, there were a lot of bugs as there always are in new hardware/software. I initially gave a two-star review because crashes kept the app from opening. I emailed the developer and he replied right away personally concerned about my issue. I have to say now that I give this developer a lot of credit for fixing the bugs, enhancing the app, and creating something the likes of which the App Store was missing. Thanks, Jacoh.

Just doesn’t work. I just get an error message when I try to upload books. And the help address just bounces back. Ugh.

Perfect Yet Ever Improving. I got this app back when I first got my watch. It had some bugs and less features but the developer was happy to fix them right away and work on improving the app with any suggestion. It works great and is just so perfect while I am bored at work and can't use my phone. I love the traditional mode and that there is the option for it now. Using Dropbox or iCloud in a way is much more convenient then iBooks ever was. You don't even have to sync your device unlike adding books to iBooks. I love using this app and I am very glad the developer is so open to ideas and suggestions.

Help. I had this app loaded onto my series one watch and it worked and loaded fine, read plenty of books on it. I upgraded my watch to a series se and my watch wont load the app now. Need help in figuring out why. I have tried everything i can thing of to try to fix it.

Just doesn't work.. I've been trying for weeks to get books onto my watch but they just won't go. I've tried every supported format and imported them into the phone app and the check box for syncing them to the watch is enabled but they won't show up. I've tried restarting bot the phone and watch, force quitting the app on both and putting both on charge

Cool idea. This app is a good idea for those people that is always on the go. The app allows you to read on your apple watch by downloading books from your iCloud or Dropbox. Not a bad idea, but I would prefer to read on my iPhone with a bigger screen.

Interesting but weird.... This app is cool in concept. You are supposed to upload a book to the app so you can read on watch, but the watch has such a small screen so how is that possible. I can't claim it impossible thigh because I have not connected my watch yet. One thing I like is that you can upload from Dropbox so you may even be able to upload a magazine or article. Recommend to all with Apple watch.

For iPhone. Great app in my opinion you can get almost every book that you could possibly want to read. However I feel this app isn't suitable for the iwatch. The screen is just way to small for an app like this to be good on it.

All kinds of broken. Doesn’t import ePub books, even the ones that were successful show up as black screen on the watch. Very disappointing.

Doesn’t work. Won’t load on my watch and wasted $2

Transfer is not working.. Nothing else to review, I’m sorry to say.

Great on the go app. Great way to read books while your sitting in a waiting room or on the way to someone's house

Will not work on Watch. Just shows a spinning circle. Not worth the money at all.

Frustrating but promising. If this worked as intended, this app would be amazing. Books on your wrist, everywhere you go! And actually an attractive interface as well. But constant crashes hold it back. I’m trying to reinstall again - I don’t want to give up on it yet! Developer, please fix the reliability.

Great Solution. This app is exactly what I was looking for. I searched web forums; Everyone said you can't read a book on such a small screen. I was ready to find a way to make my own app like this. Thank you Wear Reader. This is a great solution the the problem of reading a book on the Apple Watch.

Doesn’t work. I’ve tried several book formats that are listed as compatible, but every time I get the error message “Error importing, please try again later” I emailed the developer and got maeler daemon (bad email). And I cannot find support anywhere online

Great tool. I've found this very useful, just the thing I've been looking for. Great for notes or memorization material. Speed read doesn't seem practical to me, I like the concept but find that the display going to sleep defeats the purpose. Scrolling is decent, but I think a single tap page advance would be far more useful and less effort. Even if a slight scroll on the wheel would just advance one page exactly that would keep the screen awake and also be more efficient instead of trying to scroll the material read. import by sharing, or just through iTunes would be better than Dropbox etc.

Was willing to pay the $3 to test it.. Doesn’t work. Can confirm

WORKS IS SOO GOOD!!!. Don’t listen to the reviews saying this doesn’t work it works great plus I love speed reading!

Do not buy !. This app is not working at all.

Useless on the Apple Watch. Screen goes blank after reading for five seconds. No option to keep the screen on. Useless.

I really want to like this app. As far as I can tell this is the only app on the watch that lets me read a book through scrolling, but the major issue is that it absolutely wrecks the chapter order and mixes everything around. I was really looking forward to using this but as is, it is worthless.

Exactly what I was looking for.. Been looking for an ebook reader for my watch and this fits the bill perfectly.

Does not work with iPhone 6 iOS 8.4. This app has only ever worked once. Since then it just cycles on a loading screen and quits. Very frustrating.

Great Utility!. As a booklover,I love this app!It lets me read without even taking out my iPhone!Thanks Dev!

Very nice. This is a really nice book app for the Apple Watch. It is really simple to add your iBooks to the watch to read on the go. It works well.

Very good. very good for long notes, very ambitious perhaps read a book in a watch, you will be without arm

good app. its a good idea and this app works good with reading in apple watch. Especially when u wait for a bus or wait in the restaurant. Will recommend !

Don’t sync books. Books imported on the iPhone app don’t sync with the Apple Watch. This app is broken. WatchOS 4.0 iOS11.03

Great app!. It needs a little work, but overall is great!!

Cool. This is a cool app for the Apple Watch. I like that I can read my ebooks on my watch, even though the screen is small. It is well done.

WatchOS2 update please. Very good application! Thank you for the new update Could you please make this app native for watchos2? that would be great!

Doesn't work. It doesn't even work, and UI needs more work

First app for apple watch!. This app will go great for the apple watch when it comes out and i will be reading book anywear with this app.

Turns off in seconds :(. Great app in theory. In practice, I wasted my money because it works for about 3 seconds on the Apple Watch, then turns off automatically. No workaround or fix yet :(

Crashes. What’s up with all these glowing reviews? Apple should investigate to make sure they’re not spam. I imported books but the app crashes when I try to load it on the watch.

iBooks. I cannot view kindle or iBooks or audible so I'm trying to understand the purpose of this app?
