Update 06 June: Pebble Time Watch app for iOS is now available on the app store
Pebble has just started shipping its new smartwatch, Pebble Time. Over $20 million in pre-orders on Kickstarter.
Being a smartwatch, it requires a connection to a smartphone for setup & the functions that make it “smart” (incoming emails, SMS, phone calls, calendar, weather etc). Pebble has apps for Android & iOS.
Recent history of the Pebble Time Watch app in the iOS app store approval process:
18 May: Pebble Time Watch app approved
22 May: Pebble submits a bug fix update of the Pebble Time Watch app — requests expedited review
03 June: still waiting
A quirk in the Appstore release process prevents the app approved on 18 May being made available to users.
An update of the iPhone app for the original Pebble watch has been awaiting approval for 43 days.
Just in case you hadn’t noticed, Apple recently released their own smartwatch.
For now, the only way iPhone-owning Pebble Time owners can get their watch up-&-running is to use a borrowed Android phone.
