Meh Pebble app: Mehbble

argoolsbee shared some links said Wed, Jan 14th 2015 at 1:09pm ET

I've just released v1.0 of Mehbble, a Pebble watchapp based on the new Meh API. It should be available for Android now, and will be on iOS the next time Pebble updates the Pebble iOS app.

Store: https://apps.getpebble.com/applications/54b6ac62bdf7dedd6c000072
Install from phone: pebble://appstore/54b6ac62bdf7dedd6c000072

Please let me know how meh you think it is. I'm open to suggestions on how to make it more meh and if someone wants to write a more meh description.

Pebble updated their iOS app today, and apparently I just made the cutoff, so Mehbble is now available on all devices.

Egotistically, this is now strongly tempting me to buy a Pebble watch. Anyone else have one and like/hate it?

- @dave Bought me a Steel for Hanukkah. Love it so far. Very durable, decent battery life, great apps.

- @dave I have had mine since Kickstarter and I love it. It lasts about a week without a recharge so unlike my phone I can keep it on for more than 12 hours. It is durable, the eInk is very easy to read anytime and there are some cool companion apps and watch faces for it. Oh and it also can get Android Wear notifications (haven't tested this... but soon... api testing).

- @dave It's the best smartwatch around if you don't need chat to your wrist abilities. Only issue I've had has been the screen getting scrambled but they have replaced it no cost even out of warranty a few times.

- @dave Love mine too. Seeing all the notifications without taking the phone out is a game changer. Yesterday my phone was in another room but saw that a package had arrived. Pulling your phone out makes you That Guy, but checking your watch, everyone does that.

- @dave I have a Kickstarter edition that I've worn since it shipped. Big fan of the notifications and I haven't run into any issues.

Cool idea. Some bug/meh report:

App a bit slow/finniky, at first just showed me logo, next few try api error.. Then it worked but text a bit cut off.

I give it meh stars out of meh.

Otherwise good job.

- @username I used Pebble's JS framework, as it made development really quick and easy for a simple app like this, but I have noticed performance is not as good as a native C app. If you just see the logo in the middle of the screen, it is waiting to hear back from the API call. The 'API error' screen means the request to Meh's API was not successful. Check your phone/watch connection and try relaunching the Pebble app (it may have been killed). I plan to make the logo smaller/remove it/change the font to fix the text clipping.
