Good, only when it works

Every 3rd or 4th charge it wont link to my iPhone 6. Its so freakin frustrating! When it does work... its great.

No vibration on original pebble

After getting the notification that my pebble watch needs to be updated and use this new app to function seemed like a no brainier. The previous version had minor issues but nothing a factory reset every couple of months couldnt fix. Unfortunately, this app is a disaster. Ive had to factory reset my original pebble watch three times in the last 2 hours for it to stay connected to my iPhone 6+. Not only does it not stay connected, but the vibration alerts no longer function even though it is selected in the settings. Ive loved my pebble and didnt want to spend money on an Apple Watch but now it looks like Im going to. Pebble you were great, but if a new update doesnt come out in the next week, you are going to lose a happy customer.

Help?

Does anyone else have a problem with the "Turn on Pebble to allow Bluetooth to connect to accessories" popup? If I dare to turn off BT it wont leave me alone, and Pebble support is no help. Didnt have the issue before upgrade. 2 stars is generous b/c of this.

Awesome

I love this watch. Its an easy to use inexpensive smart watch. Works great. I highly recommend it. Best Buy will match the Amazon Internet price.

Not happy anymore

Since the last update, my watch does not stay connected and the app will not open. Havd a watch that gives me time but no other perks.

Do Not Install This - It Killed My Pebble

My pebble worked fine until I installed this updated app. The new features looked great. The only problem is the app kept updating the firmware again and again despite saying Update Completed. Now my pebble is in the perpetual state of "firmware out of date please update". I have sent multiple support requests to Pebble but have not gotten any real help. The suggestion to "start fresh" from the auto reply email did not solve the problem. There is no number to call. Pebble needs to do a better job.

Night mode9

If you install night mode 9 on your phone ,dont forget to close it for pebble app,it will make app crash.

Constant location use is a bummer

Constant location use by the app is a bummer. The app must also remain open and active for a proper connection to the watch. The app works well but could use less tapping to find new apps or watch faces. There is truly no need for my location to be known by the app every second of every day. Im willing to wait for that stuff to load in order to preserve my phone battery life. This is a big let down that is making me consider returning the watch.

Love Pebble

Only complaint is that theres not many good apps available. But thats not why I got a smartwatch. I got it to get notifications on my wrist. And it does that reliably. The app always stays connected without failure in my experience.

Lovin it, lovin it!

The new Pebble app is real cool. It seems like I consistently get more notifications vs. the old app. The new app packs a lot of new, nifty features. I love how I can drag my fave watch faces to the top of the app; the ordering of watch faces in the app becomes the ordering on your watch. Smart design! Pressing the down button on my watch shows me whats coming up tomorrow including weather, sun rise, sunset, etc. My fave password manager is supported. And the list goes on. Everything seems to work better. It feels like Im wearing a new watch!

Almost bricked my pebble

The 4/4/16 update appeared to have bricked my pebble. After a week of trying over and over and over again to get the watch operational, I got the bright idea to change the type of watch face from a custom to a standard in the iPhone app. My watch is now functioning, but I am limited in the types of watch faces that I can use.

Unreliable Bluetooth connection

I have used this iOS app for over a year on an Apple 6+ . App performance has been disappointing. App is slow and clunky. Bluetooth LE connection often fails. It rarely reconnects properly if watch separated from the phone. This makes using phone apps that depend on LE problematic. Often have to open the phone to reconnect.

Great update

I am always a little nervous when the update is mandatory but this one made me happy. Nice job.

Battery life has plummeted

I really like being able to respond to texts, but this update has problems. My pebble Steel was lasting about 6 days and now it wont last 24 hours. Several reboots and a factory reset have not fixed it. The watch also keeps disconnecting, something it has never done before, until I open up the pebble app on my iPhone.

Awesome

Was having wrist problems so I havent worn the watch for the past month and a half and this morning I find this. I love it. The watch face I was using before is no longer in the App Store but I found an equivalent one and my apps are all working. So far I havent had any problems and there are options now that I dont remember having before that I love.

Really Good

I have had my Pebble for more than a year and I can say I love it! It has everything a smart watch needs. It has notifications for calls, messages, texts...etc, a health tracker, apps and many watch faces to choose from. I love the misfit app. It tracks my steps and sleep and also syncs with MyFitnessPal. You know what? Its also an excellent watch! I like the feature that buzzes me when it loses connection with the iPhone. It has saved me from leaving my phone behind a couple of times. I also really like how I can control all the bluetooth music coming from my phone. Its on all the time and it looks best in bright sunlight! Lasts 4 days easy (pebble steel classic) and I can swim, snorkle and waterski with it. No other smart watch does what the Pebble can do. Dont waste your money on an Apple watch or any other watch. Most wont let you go swimming and most barely make it thought the day. And reading in direct sunlight? Forget it. Get the Pebble! I will be upgrading to the Pebble Time watch this year.

Best Update Yet

This update for the pebble is amazing, I am using the pebble classic and this app is VERY convenient. Also the long wait for text replies is over and iOS now has watch replies! The Apple Watch is terrible compared to this, the only downside to all of this are the screen tearing, its not too bad but it gets annoying.

Disconnecting

I like the fact that they made a new app for the device, but after a period of time, the Bluetooth disconnects from the watch and it is a process to reconnect it and I would appreciate it if you would fit x this irritating issue!

the app wont open.

Ive tried numerous times to get my watch reconnected and it does work. please update/fix the current version if possible. otherwise the app is usually great.

Childish

The new update looks like it is designed for little kids. Even ESPN looks like it was made for a 13 year old girl. I dont need this to be pretty and fun I just want the information and not feel like Im playing with a kids toy.
