Comments on Canvas for Pebble for Android

★★★★★ Best pebble app out there! Title says it all. Design your own watch face with what's important to you! Great support from dev, responds to community quick! Thanks for a great app.
★★★★★ Every pebble user needs this. Could never find a watch face that did what I needed. Was going to write my own then discoved Canvas. Canvas makes dynamic watch faces easy. The only thing missing is the ability to show % chance of rain.
★★★★★ I could not find a particular type of watchface so I thought of giving this app a try to create my own and I managed to create that "perfect" watchface for myself. The app is amazing, a few flaws here and there but its a fun app, really enjoying making new watchfaces every second day. I wish we could add more fonts and would have been amazing if we could rename the watchface for the pebble store along with a thumbnail and maybe a downloadable file for future proofing..
★★☆☆☆ WTF?! I was so excited when I finished tweaking my own cool watchface. Worked great for a month. Now....Suddenly, where the city name is, it just has, %N. And instead of temperature it just shows %F. I noticed it's like this on all the Canvas faces. Please fix... Or at least let us know what's wrong so I don't feel like I'm crazy!!
★★☆☆☆ Used to be a big fan. I used to love this on my original Kickstarter Pebble. It was my always watch face. I'm disappointed it doesn't support Pebble Time Round.
★★☆☆☆ impossible to figure out how to make this work. Why can't someone make a simple-to-use app like the Watchmaker for android wear. I read through all the instructions and can't figure out how to add color!

Description by Steve Penna Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Design a Pebble watch-face on your phone, and publish it instantly to your watch!

This app will only work with Pebble firmware and Android app v2.0+

You will need a Pebble Watch to get the most out of this app! http://www.getpebble.com

If you encounter problems installing the latest Canvas watchface to your Pebble, please see the FAQ.

User guide: http://pebblecanvas.blogspot.co.uk/p/user-guide.html
FAQ: http://pebblecanvas.blogspot.co.uk/p/faq.html

With Canvas, you can:-
- Design watch-faces for your Pebble, on your Android phone
- Control the size, position, format, font, colour and alignment of every item. Drag to move and resize
- Animate anything on your watch-face, and vibrate when content changes, dynamically resize layer, and invert
- Add images, or even an analogue clock!
- Include world-time from any timezone
- Add countdown timers, to a time controlled on your phone
- Switch watch-faces from your phone, only requiring one precious slot on your Pebble
- Share your designs, and download others' on the Canvas Screen Store!
- See the state of your watch (battery level, connection status)

Your watch-faces can use any time format that you wish, including the popular 'text watch' format.

You can also include dynamic content which will update continually from your phone:
- Your next calendar appointments (on supported devices ICS+)
- Missed call, Unread SMS counters
- Unread Gmail counters for any labels
- Phone battery percentage
- Phone sensor status (temperature, humidity, pressure on supported devices e.g. Galaxy S4)
- Weather
- Any content from Tasker
- And anything else via plugins - example: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pennas.canvasnowplayingplugin

And share any watchface that you design with other Canvas users! Use the 'Share' function on the Edit screen. A shared .pcs file can be loaded back into Canvas

Instructions: please see http://pebblecanvas.blogspot.com/p/user-guide.html

Developers: see http://pebblecanvas.blogspot.co.uk/p/plugins.html for information on creating content plugins for Canvas

Limitations:
- Pebble does not yet support persistent storage. This means that every time you select the 'Pebble Canvas' watch-face on your Pebble, it must communicate with your phone before it can display anything. After this, it will continue to display all non-dynamic content even if connection to your phone is lost.

Support:
- Please submit any bug reports if you do encounter an issue. You may also submit diagnostics from the 'About' menu to help diagnose any problems
- Please email me with any problems/issues/suggestions. This is a lot easier than responding via the Google Play comments system

Permissions:
- WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - send watchface to Pebble app, share screens
- RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - update pebble when phone starts
- READ_CALENDAR - display upcoming calendar events
- READ_SMS - Get SMS unread count
- READ_CALL_LOG - Get Missed calls count
- gm.permission.READ_CONTENT_PROVIDER - Get GMail unread counts
- GET_ACCOUNTS - Get GMail accounts
- ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION - Get location for weather
- INTERNET - Get weather
- READ_CONTACTS - some devices need this for missed call updates
- VIBRATE - Test vibration patterns on your phone
- ACCESS_WIFI_STATE - Show current wifi information on your watch
- ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - Check if you are connected to the internet or not

Recent changes:
