The listening screen now makes room for the watch's own Listening indicator: everything moves with it as it slides in and out, and on Pebble Time 2 our title appears once the system's own label is gone. Smoother transition into No match.
New icon set with the Earshot ear mark, roomier and better aligned screens on Pebble Time 2 and Round 2, a clearer song card on the Round 2, and long titles, artists and albums now scroll so they are always readable.
Earshot is out of beta. Refreshed icons throughout, a livelier level meter that follows the music, and a new finding screen that walks through sending, matching and the song found before showing the song card. Relaunching soon after closing opens faster.
Beta update: the watch now works out how its microphone delivers audio (some watches send it in a different format, which made every song sound like noise) and removes any DC offset. After a failed attempt the screen shows MIC peak/average and seconds received; please send that line with your feedback.
Beta update: after a failed attempt the screen now shows what your watch heard, for example "MIC 120 · 9.8S · 100%" (loudest sample, seconds that reached the phone, share of audio frames). Please send those numbers with your feedback. Audio messages also shrink automatically if your phone rejects large ones.
Beta update: works with quieter watch microphones (the level bars now move and quiet music is boosted before matching), and the icons are drawn as the original pixel art, crisper on screen. If a song still isn't found, please send the pebble logs lines starting with "mic" and "Attempt".
Beta update: much better at hearing songs. Records 10 seconds instead of 8, keeps the full 16 kHz sound, and boosts quiet music instead of giving up with "couldn't hear". Icons are now drawn at their designed size.
Beta: the first public test of Earshot. Identify the song that's playing with your Pebble's microphone, then see the title, artist, album and year. Please send feedback.
