What should work in the App 🤞

• Connection to Pebble 2 Duo, Pebble 2, Pebble Time Series (Time/Time Steel/Round), and Classic Series (OG/Steel) watches. Classic Series may experience connection instability over Bluetooth LE, Android users can enable Bluetooth Classic to help with this. All watches required firmware > v3.x to connect.
• Language Pack installation (.pbl files)
• Time sync
• Notifications
  • muting specific apps
  • dismissing notifications on phone from watch
  • (Android only) replying with emoji or canned replies
• Calendar (configure in mobile app, no actions or invites)
• Music control
• Phone calls
• PebbleKit JS apps
• Appstore and locker (via Rebble.io sign in)
• Developer connection (via GitHub and LAN)
• PebbleKit Android apps may work (this depends on the companion app, and the watch status ContentProvider API does not work)
• Weather timeline pins for the current location

What isn’t working or built yet 🤦

• There are intermittent crashes when running PebbleKit JS apps on iOS.
• Mobile app design - it’s basic and works, but is not yet complete. Expect this to change!
• WhatsApp/Signal/etc voice call notifications on Android in the new app
• Health features aren’t supported in the app, yet
• Syncing health data to Apple or Google
• Send Text app
• Weather support for default Pebble weather app
• App Localization
• Calendar invite notifications / Calendar actions in Timeline pins
• Custom canned responses
• Websockets from PebbleKit JS on iOS

Important

If anything isn’t working, and it isn’t listed above as not working, please report a bug in the app! Try to connect to your watch before reporting, so that the app can fetch watch logs (cycling airplane mode on the watch if required to get it connected). We might not get back to you, but we read every report.
