How about a slang dictionary on your wrist? With a free app called UrbanWatch, you can browse definitions from the Urban Dictionary website on your Apple Watch like a boss.
Created by Australian teenage developer Archer Gardiner-Sheridan and released three months ago, UrbanWatch features a simple user interface with just a few easy-to-understand options.
Last week, the app got bumped to version 2.0, bringing an overhauled iPhone app along with the ability to save words for later. Saved items sync with the iOS app so you can view your favorite phrases and words on the bigger phone screen.
Rather than limit itself to being a simple dictionary app, UrbanWatch brings additional capabilities that will be familiar to anyone who has used the Urban Dictionary website.
ROUNDUP: The best dictionary apps
For instance, you can easily check out Urban Dictionary’s Word of the Day. And if you’re felling lucky, feel free to tap an option to view randomly picked words. Of course, you can also search for specific words by using dictation, watchOS’s gesture typing system or FlickType, the leading third-party Apple Watch keyboard.
UrbanWatch also packs in a transparent Modular Small complication, which is really handy. I was left thinking there should be a Siri complication for the Word of the Day feature, something like that would make UrbanWatch perfect.
UrbanWatch can be downloaded for free in App Store.
A one-time 99-cent In-App Purchase is required to save and share specific words with friends.
