The new Pebble app is live on iOS and Android
5 hours ago
- New Pebble app released on iOS and Android, compatible with all Pebble models including original Kickstarter Pebble, Pebble Steel, Time, Time Round, Pebble 2, Pebble 2 Duo, and Pebble Time 2.
- The app breathes new life into a 13-year-old product; users can dig out old Pebbles and use the app at rePebble.com/app.
- Ongoing improvements are planned (see software roadmap), and troubleshooting tips are available.
- A major new feature is local speech-to-text processing (try it out).
- Bluetooth connection to older Pebbles is less reliable than to newer models (P2D and PT2) due to inability to fix software bugs in old watches; users are advised not to leave negative reviews based on connectivity issues with older devices.
- The app's underlying library (libpebble3) has been open-sourced and is used in apps like MicroPebble; GadgetBridge is another open-source Pebble-compatible app supporting all Pebble watches.
