This app for pebble will let you set a countdown time. It supports upto 99 Hours and 59 Minutes. After the countdown time is over, Your watch will vibrate. It could be very useful in your daily routine.

Installed fine and works well, Thanks! Very useful app for my Pebble. The title at the top just shows "countdown ti...". This needs changing to two lines so it fits on the screen. If anything, maybe the digits could be a bit bigger.

Okay I'll take care of the header. And maybe the font size too. Also, if you could upload some pictures, because i havent seen my own app :3

It looks like the title should fit, but strangely doesn't.

Seems like a bug in the SDK. I decreased the font size (was 18, now 14) should (fingers crossed) work. Now, it has an aggressive build, meaning the app will now become faster and reduce lags if there were any.

Definitely a bug. I'm still seeing "Countdown T..." :confused: Why does it do this? Can it be made to wrap to second line?

Other than this the app working good and fast

quick question. The timer works great by the way. Ok for my question; what is the watch face download? It doesn't seam to do anything. Am I missing something? Normally when I install different watch faces, I can switch to them. With this one, it isn't showing up in my list. What am I missing here, other then a brain!!!!

Well, I dont own a Pebble. As far as I can guess, You download the .pbw and Put it on your phone. Then, load it to your pebble using the Pebble App. It will probably ask you to browse to to the pbw file. You could ask@PDAJ for help. He got it running.

This is not a Watch Face. It's a Watch App. You will find installed Watch Apps by pressing the right-middle button and scrolling down.

I get that. The app installed fine and works great. However on the first page you can download the countdown time and also a watch face. What's the face for? Is that what the first build was called, and as they progressed the name got changed? That's what it looks like to me, but if it's something different, I can't figure out what. Since it has a different name, I figured I would ask.

Thanks for the response though, all are welcome and helpful.

No, the first download is a WatchApp. The default name after compiling shows as Watchface and i forgot to change that before uploading. Nothing else. Glad to hear the app works well. :D

    Uh, Guys, Sorry for the mistake. I accidentally uploaded the v1 as a Version 2. I'll try to update to version 2 as soon as I reach home from vacations. Sorry for the inconvenience.
