Control Pandora from your Pebble watch. PandoraRemote is a Pebble watch app paired with an Android companion that lets you manage playback, rate songs, and adjust volume without reaching for your phone.
The Android companion monitors Pandora's notifications and relays song metadata (title, artist, station) to the watch. Button presses on the watch send commands back through the companion, which triggers Pandora's notification actions. The watch app launches automatically when Pandora starts playing. (and Pandora starts on the phone when you launch the watch app)
Navigate between screens with the select (middle) button. Press back to return to the previous screen. Every screen shows the current song's title and artist, and the station name in smaller text at the top. The different screens let you control playback, rate songs, and adjust volume.
