Why isn't the Nextory app available for Apple watches?
We're happy that you're asking!
Currently, the Nextory app isn't available for download on the Apple Store for Apple watches. However, with constant ongoing tweaks and development, it could likely be available in the future.
In the meantime, no worries—while playing an audiobook on your phone, you can still use your smartwatch to control the volume and play/pause directly from its screen.
