Hey all Pebble/Windows Phone users.

I noticed today that the Pebble app was updated a few days ago. It says last updated on 3/25.

I hope they updated it for the Pebble Time. After owning a Pebble 301BL for about 2 weeks now I love it and the BIG factor compared to other smartwatches is the 7-10 battery life. I put it on a Monday and don't bother thinking about it till the next weekend. Pretty awesome.

I tend to pull out my Windows Phone a lot less, as all emails, texts, phone calls, all come to the pebble, on emails it will show From/to, and about first 7-10 lines of the email, ENOUGH to tell you if you need to pull your phone out.

The Pebble time has a microphone now never mind a e-ink 64-color display with the same battery life.

Here is the updated app, you need to sideload it, I have not done it yet but, I will be in a little while...

Installed, No real changes that I noticed...

1. It asked if you can run in the background...
2. You need to select your apps if you want to see notifications from it (if you did it in the last build you will need to do it again)

It didn't fix my issue every time a notification comes in, it's telling me that "You need to update your phone app to 2.0 or higher". (waiting for a fix to be put up on pebblebits.com)

Previous message:

Hi, I have the same problem with this v2.0 message, if you find a way to solve it, please share it.

Thanks!

Update:
Ok so I already fixed it thanks to a custom firmware from MaryasinS. Now got a Pebble Steel, with all notifications, and updated to 2.9.1.

Thanks to all the community to make this possible!

So, at last after surfing a lot the web I managed to solve the issue with a custom firmware developed by MaryasinS, so now I have the Pebble Steel working with 2.9.1 version and receiving all notifications from my phone (Lumia 930). Just clarify that it is normal to not maintain bluetooth connection as the Pebble notification App connects with the watch every time it needs, which means everytime there is a notification to send.

Great work from the community and Microsoft to give us this unofficial App, despite of having to side load it.

Installing windows phone 10 seems to break the app... it simply will not load for me... Do I need to "re-sideload" it perhaps?

I have also entered the "stupids" domain as I cannot work out now how to get the app onto my desktop to side load it in any case. (I previously downloaded from a direct link)

sigh

When I upgraded to 10166 today, it would not load, it would open, then just close. So I uninstalled it and re-installed it (using the 8.1 SDK), It loads now, connects to the pebble but, It will not load the app list it just hangs on "Loading Applist".

I wonder if it will pull down email still to my Pebble, going to play with it but, this sucks because I lose other app notifications if cant select them.

Always something Isn't it ?

Edit: Confirmed Email is working going to my Pebble but, nothing else :(

Now that the change in the Marketplace, you cant download apps directly any more but, changing country you can DOWNOAD them manually :) (tricky to figure out)

This app was updated on 7/11/2015 so just about a month ago, and newer than any of us have...

Download here... (go to the bottom of the page and download/manuall install or Descargar e instalar manualmente )

https://www.windowsphone.com/es-ni/...ications/fc6a5eec-593c-47b9-8772-067e550b8d7f

I have not updated my phone Yet but, will in a little bit... so updated again !

Edit: No change, same version 1.1.0.13 (to tell, extract the app, in the AppxMetadata folder open the AppxBundleManifest.xml).

I have 1.1.0.11 and 1.1.0.13 in my archive. Using 1.1.0.11 right now with no issues, I had minor issues with 13 but, was able to fix them.

Tried downloading from link but it says I can't. Fix?
I tried downloading it as well with no luck either.

The app does not appear to be public yet. I don't know exactly how beta apps work on Windows Phone, but it looks like you have to be invited to download it first or at least be on some authentication list.

I didn't see any way of contacting the developer, so if anyone has any ideas... We'd love to hear them :) .

Any way to sideload this perhaps?

I can also confirm this, working with my Pebble Steel. It's working fine for the most part on 10512. The Version linked above is 1.1.0.13 and that is the newest version available.

Wish someone here worked for Microsoft and had official access. If you look at the first link on the page, it gives an internal beta for Microsoft employees and gives a link to.

And with out a Microsoft email we can't get in, would love to see if there was any notes or testing of features for it.

I take it back! It's not working like I want it to.

The list of apps keep resetting itself, so I went back to the "original" (the one first linked to here on Windows Central). That appears to work just like the new one, except the app list is kept.

What link are you talking about ? I want to see what version your using ?

I saw that problem too but, If you go in an add them (DO NOT UNSELECT anything) and go back a screen, then close the app, it seemed to stick, as long as I didn't go back into it...

I do see some funkiness with it, what I mean, if I get 3-4 emails from different accounts at the same time sometimes I will only get 1 notification for the first email. It's a sometimes thing, 95% of stuff I get fine tho.

I can't figure out which versions I have. How do you do that?

I just updated to 10536, and now I have a different problem: I can't deploy any version my my device! :(
EDIT: No, after several restarts of the device and the computer it finally worked. I'm giving the new version a chance again (version 1.1.0.13?).

Hi guys,
thanks for all the information so far. Unfortunately, I do have a problem which I was unable to solve.
I'm on the latest Preview 10536, installed the latest version of Pebble Notifications app from sd card (downloaded it via the link provided in post #12), my Pebble is connected and recognized by the app. However, I'm not getting any notifications apart from email and media (changing track), and in the app itself I can't see the list of all available apps - it is stuck on 'Loading Applist...'.
I understand that some of you somehow managed to solve the issued I'm facing - or not?

I would uninstall and re-install, try again...Have not seen that locked on Loading Applist from a few builds ago...10166 was the last I saw that issue...

Had the same error. Fixed it by doing a reset. Works now, although I restored my device from backup.

Hi I can't seem to download the app? The links you guys are giving redirect to the US store, and I can't figure out how to navigate to the app store when I change regions
