It’s time to explore the Pebble appstore

My Purr[1] watch face is available on there too. It replicates the functionality of the Durr[2] watch.<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/jbrooksuk/Purr" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jbrooksuk&#x2F;Purr</a><p>[2] <a href="http://skreksto.re/products/durr" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;skreksto.re&#x2F;products&#x2F;durr</a>

The new Pebble app store seems to be pretty popular. Via server logs, I&#x27;m monitoring 1 game played per second in the new version of my moderately popular game (<a href="http://www.mypebblefaces.com/apps/4736/4252/8720/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mypebblefaces.com&#x2F;apps&#x2F;4736&#x2F;4252&#x2F;8720&#x2F;</a>).

Even though it&#x27;s time to explore the pebble app store, it seems impossible to do so without creating a pebble account. All I want is to see the apps, to decide if pebble is worth buying. Apple allows you to browse their App Store just fine. Oh well.

iOS only for now. Although they did tweet an Android screenshot on Friday. Consistently failing every deadline since Kickstarter days :&#x2F; However, kudos to the team, they deserve it for all the hardwork. I&#x27;m an early KS backer and they&#x27;ve delivered far beyond my initial expectations. Can&#x27;t wait to check out 2.0 and appstore!

Now if only Apple would approve apps to work with them. I have the integration done, it&#x27;s approved and whitelisted by pebble for their MFI program, and Apple rejects it for not being in their MFI program. Thanks Apple.

As the early adopter of Pebble in my group of non technical friends I was always the one that people came to asking how they could install more apps on their Pebbles, and I had to guide them through the process of downloading and installing from the website in Mobile Safari. Now that its a one touch process they&#x27;ll be able to do it on their own.

So does this mean that all purchases on the iOS Pebble App Store have to go through the iTunes App Store and thus Pebble pay a cut to Apple ? Because iTunes App Store T&amp;C say all purchases go through them, right ?

I bought 2 pebbles and a sony smartwatch 2 for android development. pebble is a pain in comparison. only 8 pebble apps installable at once? black and white, no touch, just 3 buttons with #4 being reserved for &quot;back&quot;. SW2 is rather easy to program but also has severe limitations. nothing can have buttons and scroll at the same time. pebbles is programmed in C++.<p>Yeah, these smart accessories are nice but still just gimmicks. Galaxy gear working only with 4.3 Android phones from Samsung is the biggest joke of all but yeah, they try to pull of an Apple-scam.

A little offtopic, but I love the mouse-over effect on the blog header. It makes the text immediately stick out and seem more real — in the sense that this presentation says about making games &quot;juicy&quot;: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg</a><p>It&#x27;s a pity that it only links to a permalink of the blog, rather than being a call to action of some kind.

How was Pebble on Android? I&#x27;m planning to buy Pebble and I&#x27;m on Android (Nexus 5). I first thought it was an iOS exclusive but then I saw in on Google Play [0].<p>[0] <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.getpebble.android&amp;hl=en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;play.google.com&#x2F;store&#x2F;apps&#x2F;details?id=com.getpebble....</a>

I wonder what % of their users are on Android. Everyone I know who owns a Pebble is on Android. Perhaps that is the minority?

If you play tennis, try out my Tennis scoring app, called Tennis Pro.<p>Would love some feedback!
