Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has introduced the Apple Watch with much fanfare last fall that every one failed to notice that it lacks a native browser. You cannot even find a keyboard on the tiny display of the Apple Watch.
However, do not fret. Alaric Cole, a long time developer of the iOS, has made the things easy for you. Cole has developed a browser app for the tiny display and got the nod of Apple. The new web browser is named Cufflink.
It has been a challenge for the developer to develop a browser for the tiny screen given the constraints of low power processor, lack of keyboard and a small screen. The lite browser Cufflink gives customers the experience of browsing the web like way back in 1995. It is pretty simple and easy to use, provides all the necessary information on the tiny screen.
The new browser app has utilized the Siri interface. The app removes all the ads and the like stuff and shows only vital media and text. Still, the users get the excellent reading view that you would with a Safari Reader.
The content is legible. I got an invitation to Apple for testing of the innovative product a few weeks back. In my testing, I tried to get vital information from sites that boast one or two images. But to my surprise it offered great results.
According to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), the new watch gives an interaction time of just 10 seconds. Therefore, the app developers should consider introducing apps that take input in 10 seconds.
You would immediately raise a question “What would you do in just 10 seconds?”
According to Cole, it still has the value to do all the chores. Readers would not be expected to read a book on the tiny screen. The app is developed using the technology embraced earlier for Reddit app.
The new app provides all the necessary info in text format. All the necessary work will be done on the backend to provide search results on the tiny screen. It thus saves the power.
Who pays for the new app?
Cole is charging $3 to cover the running costs.
