About Reader for Android Wear

Reader has all the needed functions (view text, scroll, navigate, remember position, change font size). Its main purpose is to serve as very simple viewer until some better and full featured book reader appears on the market.

- To view and start reading a file, transfer it from your phone by selecting Reader when opening txt file or sharing text content.
- Long tap in the Reader app on Android Wear to access all transferred text files.
- To change font size, use "pinch to zoom"
- Larger files are split to 10 kB pages when viewing. Long tap for navigation and additional options.
- To avoid issues with encodings, make sure text file is saved as UTF-8.

Possible use cases:

- Actual standalone book/ebook reader (file size doesn't matter, sending 1 MB ebook is fine)
- Cheat sheet (utilizing small font size)
- Grocery list or other note (shared from phone note app)

Great for simple, free book reader on watch. No issues downloading txt books from Gutenberg and transferring to watch, using the reader app on the phone itself. Switching pages is a little clunky as you need to scroll for awhile to you get the end of an automatically created "page", then when you can't scroll further, long press the screen. But this is all I wanted for times when I'm bored and can't really pull my phone out for one reason or another.

App that does what it says. Easy to read and i like the black background with white text. Would be 4-5 starts if you could make it to where you could change page without speaking, like in the PDF reader app. Also if it would scroll much faster. Takes forever to get from one page to the next scrolling.

Seems to work, but could only handle half of my very modest text file. Not worth the time to mess with.

Thus app saved me on the exam. A small Python script to align answers by 10KB and the extremely quick and invisible access to 50 answers is ready! When I realized Google Keep does not load many big notes, I was sad, but this app is absolutely great!

I've been having a great time reading books with this. It would be even better if there were shortcuts for scrolling down with taps at the top/bottom or left/right like you have in traditional reading apps for advancing pages.

7/1 It would be perfect if this app could allow for multiple articles to be saved and accessed via an article list on the Wear app. Is that possible? -- 7/14 Thanks for the update!!! 5 stars!
