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 ### 3/5 — App is crashing continuously *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. ### 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 ### 3/5 — 1086 update cause issue for my watch face to get weather data *2026-01-28* 1086 update cause issue for my watch face to get weather data ### 4/5 — Still works with my Pebble Time *2025-11-25, version 1.0.5.2* It’s good that pebble is back, and it’s nice to see that it still support classic pebble watches. Everything works as expected, including the annoying iOS limitations. Not a Pebble problem but an Apple one. If I had a complaint, it’s the mandatory use of an account to get updates. But considering everything else, it’s just nice to have the old girl back in my wrist. ### 5/5 — Pebble is BACK! *2025-10-31, version 1.0.3.4* The inventor of the smartwatch is back. That means goodbye Apple Watch and welcome back to my wrist Pebble. The app is still in build phase but already useable for basic functionality. Excited for the future! ### 5/5 — Works great *2025-10-25* The Core Devices team has made a shocking amount of progress in a short amount of time! Sure, a few features are missing but what is there works super well. I could not be happier with this app! ### 5/5 — Welcome back *2025-10-24, version 1.0.3.4* Haven’t had a single issue since installing the new beta. My pebble time steel is humming along perfectly. It’s nice to no longer need to side load the app every week. ### 5/5 — It’s back *2025-10-19, version 1.0.3.4* Good job will look at the new watch now 🥳 ### 5/5 — Thanks for creating an alternative to the Apple Watch *2025-10-18, version 1.0.3.4* Now I just need to get one. ### 5/5 — About Time *2025-10-15, version 1.0.3.4* I can wear my Pebble Time again. App works well, work to do, but I am just happy to be able to wear a working Pebble Time with my iPhone. Thank you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pebble app crashes every time *2026-08-29* Can not control the watch because the app crashes every time I launch it ### 1/5 — Bug in application *2026-08-17* In application for iOS not button for connecting classic pebble watch! ### 1/5 — App crashes *2026-08-08* App crashes! ### 1/5 — No connection to Pebble Classic from iOS *2026-04-06* 2 stars for effort. Won’t connect to Pebble Classic. Tried the troubleshooting steps with no success. Love my old Pebble, but will have to do as a timekeeper and conversation piece for now. ### 1/5 — Bricked my pebble *2026-02-10* Instead of a watch face, now all I have is an icon and at the bottom of the icon it has a web address: Getpebble.com/app 😡 ### 1/5 — App crashing *2025-12-27* Current version of the app (1.0.6.9) crashes at launch on my iPhone 15 Pro (iOS version 17.7.2). The Pebble Core app did previously work on this device/iOS version, so I’m assuming a recent app update broke support for pre-iOS 18 versions? Not sure, but it’s made the app unusable for me. It immediately crashes during the app launch and bounces me back to my Home Screen each time. I’ve had to sideload the old Pebble app in the meantime so I can continue using my older watches ): ### 1/5 — Didn’t work :( *2025-12-04* Could not find my pebble unfortunately ### 1/5 — Stuck at connecting *2025-11-21, version 1.0.5.2* No idea why this app forces Google account to share feedback ### 1/5 — No Email Registration *2025-11-13, version 1.0.5.2* Need a Google, Facebook or GitHub account to register a new account. Where is the standard register with email option? ### 1/5 — Violates privacy. Requires restrictive rebble login to work. *2025-10-14* As title says, you must have a rebble login for it to work, but rebble in turn requires a github (Microsoft), google, or Facebook login to create an account. HARD NO! What's the point of pebble if it can't afford privacy?! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 *2026-07-22* Works very well with my Pebble Steel 401b. Even did a reflash from firmware recovery mode. ### 5/5 — Pebble is back *2026-07-07, version 1.5.0.2* So pleased to be wearing my pebble steel once again. Great app ### 5/5 — Does as much as it can *2026-06-12* If you have a Pebble watch you should get this app! ### 5/5 — Core Devices are nailing it! *2026-05-14, version 1.1.0.6* I’m so pleased pebble is back baby! ### 5/5 — Pebble is Back *2026-03-05* I am SO HYPE for pebble’s return. Buying one this year 🔒🔒🔒 ### 5/5 — 正常了 *2026-01-13* 又激发了我想买pebble time 2的欲望了 ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-01-06* Great work by the team to bring my old pebble back to life! Just waiting on the pebble health update to the app now! ### 5/5 — Pebble is back !!! *2025-12-29, version 1.0.6.9* Chuffed to bits ### 5/5 — YES!!! *2025-11-21* Finally!! I can use my Pebble Time again! 😺😹 So far, the app works great, even the weather (which I never got to work with older Pebble apps). If you have a wodking older Pebble, get this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
