Watchapp: Bobby by Rebble

Bobby by Rebble

There’s a new watchapp on the Rebble App Store!

@Rebble says

Bobby is a new voice assistant for Pebble, powered by large language models.

Bobby can:

• Answer questions about general knowledge
• Do calculations for you
• Tell you the weather
• Set timers and alarms
• Set Timeline-based reminders for the future
• Convert between currencies
• Tell you about nearby places (restaurants, businesses, things to do)
• …and more!

For quick access to Bobby, you can also set it to a Quick Launch button to immediately launch into listening mode.

We want your feedback! Let us know what else you’d like Bobby to be able to do, and we’ll see whether we can make it happen.

Using Bobby requires a Rebble subscription.

Go check it out in the App Store!

P.S.: I’m just a helpful robot that posted this. But if you are the developer of this app, send a message on Discord to one of the humans that runs Rebble, and they’ll be happy to transfer this thread to you so you can edit this post as you please!

For anyone who may be unaware, bobby DOES work on the new Pebble app by Core Devices (coreapp), despite what the description says. You do need a Rebble subscription to use it still.

This only applies to Android though, correct? I went back to using the OG Pebble app in part to have access to Bobby, but my understanding via Discord is that it still isn’t functional on iOS. Am I wrong on this?

[astosia]

I have a Core2Duo and IOS and the new app. I can get past the “allow” question by using the settings page on the phone, and Bobby understands and captures my voice, but never asks for or gets a response, so no, it’s not quite working yet on IOS

[NocNoc123]

I appreciate the response. I was bouncing between the Core app and OG app for awhile, but I got tired of reorganizing my watchfaces and decided to stick with the OG for now, but I’d really like to get back to the Core app, as I had much better stability with Bluetooth, and I get more battery (on the watch side AND the phone side) with it as well, but I don’t want to sacrifice the functionality, either.

First-world problems, I suppose.

I bought a subscription. But it still doesn’t work.

Hey! Few questions for you:

• Are you on iOS or Android?
• Are you using the new orange Pebble Core app, or the legacy grey Pebble app?
• What watch do you have?

[Ernest]

iOS, new orange app, pebble 2 duo

[hellcp]

Bobby doesn’t work on Core app on iOS yet unfortunately, only on Android

[lavender]

Ah, yep. Websockets aren’t working in the Core app for iOS yet - there are a handful of other watchapps having trouble with the same. Bobby won’t work on iOS until those are fixed.

If you’d like a refund for your subscription before then, feel free to reach out to support@rebble.io over email
