Below are our app picks for the Pebble, sorted into the same seven categories the Pebble App Store uses. There are many more to enjoy, but we picked the ones that we think really showcase the versatility and potential of the Pebble. These apps work on both the original Pebble and the Pebble Steel, though some are limited to Android or iOS depending on the additional software needed to work. Remember though you can only have about eight apps on a Pebble at a time, but can keep plenty more in your locker, so change apps in and out and try them out to their full potential.
To find any of these many awesome watchfaces, simply open your Pebble app for Android or iOS and search for the watch app's name. The watchfaces can be found in the "watchfaces" section of search, while everything else is in the "app" category. Let us know your favorites in the comments!
