watchOS and Apple Watch Apps

Hello,
I am announcing here the new app I have created. The app is called Deyesfree: keep your eyes off your dice.
This is an app specifically designed for Apple Watch, which makes it easy to play dice games with other people. It is a dice roller app, which announces the dice rolls in clear, human speech.
The dice rolls are also presented on the display for those who cannot hear the speech.
As a totally blind person, I have strived to make this app as inclusive for everyone as possible. The large numbers will make it very easy to see the dice rolls for those with low vision.
The app supports 7 languages: English, Arabic, Chinese, German, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish.
You can get the app here

If you enjoy the app, please rate and review it on the App Store! This would mean a lot to me. thank you!

Hi,
When I click on the link provided, I get this error:

Cannot Connect to App Store

I'm in the US.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Do you have an apple watch? You should be clicking on the link from the iPhone paired to your watch.
If you don't have a watch this will not work. There is no iPhone app for this, only a watch app.

Just a request, can you create an option where by the app will read out each dice individually such as if you were playing Yatzy, and can there be a dice consisting of only letters with one side for each number of the alphabet such as in Scatta Gorey s?

Hello,
The individual dice is coming out with version 1.1, which should be out in a week or so. You will be able to long press to get this functionality (but that's a bit of an Easter egg since there's no room in the docs for it lol)
As for letters, that's a bit beyond the scope of the app for a few reasons unfortunately.
