Pebble has released an application store for Android and there are new apps to go in conjunction with this software release. The software has been in beta from quite sometime now but now, anyone can download it play store.
You can download new apps and customize your Pebble watch directly from your Android phone. Some of these new applications include Evernote, Time Warner Cable, and eBay. With the Evernote app you will be able to look at laptops, reminders, and checklists directly on your watch. With the eBay app, you can manage and add items to watch lists. You can later view them on the smartphone.
Pebble launched Pebble 2.0 and the App Store for iOS last month. Here are the full release notes for Pebble 2.0:
Completely revamped and improved user interface design.
Pebble watchapp directory: browse, find, and install the latest watchapps for Pebble.
Watchapp locker: keep track of your favorite apps and manage the apps on your Pebble.
The list of prior notifications is now stored on your Pebble.
Using Pebble watchapps that connect to the internet to fetch data such as location or weather requires the Pebble Android app to be running on your phone.
This release supports a single Pebble watch. We are aware that some users may have multiple Pebble smart watches, and will add support in a future release.
Users of the Beta release of the Android 2.0 application will only see the old app in the Google Play Store. Delete the Beta version of the app to see the public version properly.
Side-loading apps from the “Downloads” app or Gmail may fail. This is a known issue—users must currently use another method (e.g. Dropbox, downloading with an alternate browser, copying manually to a SD card, loading from the File Manager, etc.)
Users may have to manually re-launch the Pebble app and reconnect to a Pebble that has been disconnected from the paired device for a long period of time.
If a user is experiencing difficulty connecting their Pebble and phone: We suggest the user first try using (device) Home button then launching the Pebble app again via the Android launcher, then attempting to connect again. If that does not work, we suggest the user navigate to the Bluetooth settings menu, un-pair on both the android and pebble devices, and turn Bluetooth on Android off then on.
If you own a Pebble smartwatch, feel free to download the 2.0 software update and enjoy the new applications. You can buy the original model from Pebble themselves or from Best Buy stores. The Pebble Steel can only be purchased from Pebble website.
