iOS app removal

On the 4th of October 2021 the Pebble app was removed from the iOS App Store. That means new users who do not already have the Pebble app installed on their iPhones will not be able to download it.

While Rebble are working on a replacement app, it is not yet ready for use.

If you already have the Pebble app installed but not set up, continue with the guide.

Open the Pebble app

If prompted, allow the Pebble app to turn on Bluetooth.

Skip the sign in page

The old sign in page (now blank) will be shown.

Press SKIP in the top left.

Choose dictation language

Choose your dictation language.

To use dictation you will need a Rebble subscription.

Choose the type of Pebble you have

iOS then opens the accessory pairing screen. Wait a moment, then select your Pebble.

Wait for any updates

If required, your watch will now update. Wait for this to complete, then go to the next step.

Select the Pebble language

Choose your language.

Allow LE pairing

Allow the Pebble app to pair with your watch in Low Energy (LE) mode.

Enable push notifications

Allow notifications.

Allow location access

Press ‘Allow Once’. You’ll need to change this to ‘Always’ later for certain Pebble functionality to work, such as local weather.

Setup calendars and Pebble Health

Run through the Calendar and Pebble Health screens. Enabling these is optional, but recommended.

Finish configuring your Pebble

Once you get to this screen, you’ve finished part 1 - connecting your Pebble.

All that’s left to do now is set the location permission and connect it to Rebble Web Services.

Allow location

Open your iPhone’s settings and look for “Privacy.” Then, open the “Location Services” section.

A list of your apps should load. Find the Pebble app here.

Set the location permission to ‘Always’. This is required for things like watchface weather.

Open auth.rebble.io

On the phone, open a decent browser (like Chrome or Firefox), and go to auth.rebble.io.

You should be greeted with a number of ways to sign in.

Choose one and sign in. Remember your sign in credentials!

You will return to the Rebble website, and be greeted with You’re all set!

Press ‘Switch to Rebble’

Read the page, then tap the Switch to Rebble button. If you get a prompt, accept it.

The Pebble iOS app will open. If you get the ‘Configuration change’ prompt, press ‘Change’.

Wait at least fifteen seconds before proceeding to the next step.

Tap the exclamation mark

After waiting, tap the yellow exclamation mark in the top left of the screen

You’ll see this menu.

Press ‘Log in.’

You’re done

You should now see this screen:

Press ‘IT’S REBBLE TIME’.

You’re done!

You’re done! Tap the big “+” in the lower right corner and find and install watchfaces you like from the Rebble appstore.
