Is anyone interested in a GPS tracking app that can be controlled directly from a Pebble smartwatch?

That looks brilliant! Looking forward to trying it.

And as for the bottom row graph, if that’s what you want then absolutely keep it!

@Hagu IS there a new pbw for the latest watchface with the larger middle row?

I just uploaded it right now to Google groups!

Thank you for asking :blush:

The new watch face is brilliant, thanks

Hello!

So happy to have found this app! It’s filling the GPS gap that I had with my PT2.

I’ll add my comment about the watch UI though.

One of the things I expect from a watch is to see the time. All the time.
I think it should have a status bar on top to see the actual time. Maybe make it configurable? If someone does not want to waste screen space with it. For me it’s a hard requirement though.
If time could be displayed in a different way that the status bar I’d still be happy, even though that’s the first place I look for the time when I get notifications.

Hello,

John here. To be honest i’m waiting for my first ever Pebble Watch to arrive, but that’s exactly what i was planning to achieve with the watch.

Is there any way this will be available on FDroid too?

Thank you for your comment!

You can see time at middle row while both running and not running.

While running, you can choose 12 kind of data in the middle. Time is one of these.

I think status bar is too small to see when we run​:joy:

Actually I’m not sure the way to publish this app to F-droid. But I want to publish to only one place.(Even publishing to Google Play was so hard for me​:joy:)

Either way, I have a plan to have this app be open source.

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for participating in the closed beta test! I’ve now submitted an application to Google Play to officially release the app! If approved, I’ll release the PBW on the Pebble and Rebble app stores! Thank you so much for participating!

It’s time for official release at Google Play!!!

Finally, I did it! Thank you all​:blush:

Now I can finally make time for training! :joy:

Also it is published at rebel App Store​:blush:

I’ve installed the app (including watchface) and will try it out tomorrow! Thanks.

Thank you for finding this thread!

Please let me know anything you see!

Tried it out today for cycling. Looks good and perfectly usable. A couple of requests/comments:

  1. there is no heart rate coming through
  2. it would be nice to have distance and/or speed as options for the top two displayed quantities.

Thanks for this watch app! The accompanying phone app does everything I would need already; it’s the watch that matters most to me.

Thank you for your feedback!!

Probably have you disabled the Pebble’s heart rate monitor or set the sampling rate to be very slow? In the current version of the app, the sampling rate isn’t controlled by the app itself; instead, it follows the Pebble OS settings. I plan to make it possible to change the sampling rate from the watch app—but only during workouts—in the next version.

You can display the distance by pressing the Select or Down button during a workout—would that not work for you?

I have submitted updates for both the “Iron” Android app and the watch app.

There are two changes: you can now adjust the heart rate sampling interval from the Android app, and automatic export functionality for TCX and GPX files has been added.

Please check the release notes for full details. The Android app is currently under review—coming soon!

I found that there are settings in the phone app that enable different displays. Thank you.

I’ll test the new version regarding the heart rate sampling today.

Thanks again,

eric

I’m working on updating the app to connect with BLE sensor such as Fitbit air….

Just following up. Everything is working well and I’m enjoying using this app. Thanks.

A couple of points:

  1. it would be nice if the app remembered the last activity instead of defaulting to running every time it starts up (and also which graph display was last used).
  2. the exported TCX file does not seem to include distance and speed information. This is not a big deal but seems strange.

Thanks again!
