### 4/5 — A strong start for index users

*2026-08-29*

Was intrigued by the Index idea so backed it instantly. I wear it everywhere, but some features about the app make me possibly use it less than I would. Primarily what would be handy would be persistent notifications on the lock screen, or a widget to show the Index feed. Unfortunately I have used the index to remember things but forget about the app so I'm reminded about an idea later. That can be changed by routine usage of the app, but I think some kind of widget would greatly improve the experience

### 1/5 — Pebble app crashes every time

*2026-08-10*

After using my index ring, a dozen times now, the app won't start at all. Not sure what happened. I have an MCP installed, and I have Obsidian connected.

App crashes!

### 5/5 — Hello old friend!

*2026-07-29*

The Pebble is back and better than ever!   The Apple Watch is capable but does not bring me the joy that Pebble always has.  The new time 2 with this app works flawlessly and I could not be happier.  Flawless and expert execution by the Pebble team!  And now I have an amazing fun watch back on my wrist that holds a charge for days and days.  Rock on Pebble!!!!

### 5/5 — New life for a Steel 401b

### 5/5 — Does as much as it can

*2026-06-12*

If you have a Pebble watch you should get this app!

### 2/5 — Ok-ish…

*2026-05-30*

You see my Pebble Time worked until they pushed a update out, and after that update my pebble kept going into recovery mode randomly, and right now my Pebble’s been tryying to connect for abput 15 minutes
