Pebble Time app on Android released on Google Play

Released ahead of the shipping date of the Pebble Time, the official Android app for Pebble Time and Pebble Time Steel is already up on Google Play. The app features all the management tools for these two models. If you already have a Pebble account, you can use it with this app.

The Pebble Time app shows the watch faces and apps you can download for these smartwatches. It sorts the apps by categories to make it easier for you to look for what you need. This app is also responsible for pushing OTA updates for the watch. You’ll need to be running Android 4.0 or higher to get this to work.
