This is the most useful app on Pebble, but the weather data is way off. It doesn't matter which location setting I choose. For instance I checked the humidity for my city online on both Yahoo and Openweather (the two sources this app uses) and they have way different readings than what my pebble says. It's about 80% humidity out there, the Pebble says 46%. (It's actually been stuck on 46% all day) One more pet peeve which hopefully they'll fix: When backing out of the music or alarm features, it doesn't take you back to the watch face, it makes you re-select "Glance" again. Strange. Developers please fix, thanks!! Also, please please please make it possible to set the middle button as the default for silent mode, and perhaps a long press for shutting the watch down? I find it cumbersome to turn the watch off, or make it so it doesn't vibrate. I realize this may be more a function of the watch than the app. (I just purchased the app to support the developers even though I'm not using any of the premium features)

Love this app so much! I can completely customise watchface with all the data I want but only the data I want and also launch a choice of four Pebble apps or settings or apps built into Glance (train times/read SMS, etc) from the watchface and more from the menu. By a LONG way the most important and useful addition to any Pebble!

Works great!!! I am loving my pebble more and more after using glance. Thanks developers for all your efforts, I will now be purchasing the full version.

I've been using this app for a while and is been great. With the last update, the watch app runs for a few minutes then disconnects. I can connect it again only to have it disconnect a few minutes later.

I would rate 5 stars and use it all the time if watchface editor wasn't so glitchy. If it worked better with pebble dialer and didn't go back to the pebble time main menu rather than go back to glance. If smart time watch face wasn't full of ui errors and as a premium user was able to actually edit the watch face. Watch everything dissapear when changing a colour in editor. Wasted £2.49 unless pebble dialer integration is resolved
Rated: 3 Star
