You can now control Pandora’s iOS app directly from your Pebble smartwatch

Pandora users, rejoice! At least, Pandora users that also own a Pebble smartwatch, rejoice! From today, it’s now possible to control playback of the Pandora app installed on your iOS device from your Pebble, the on-demand radio streaming service has announced.

While it’s a simple enough integration, it’s the added freedom it brings users that is the real benefit. It’ll now be a whole lot easier to switch stations while out for a run, or in the middle of cooking the kids dinner, for example. A version of the app is also on the way for Android users, the company confirmed.
