+##### Notice for iOS users: The iOS version of the Pebble app has been removed from the App Store as of August 3rd, 2019. Rebble has inside sources that say Fitbit are working on getting the app back up. Until then, *do not* delete the Pebble app from your iOS device, or you won't be able to get it again until (if/when) it's back up on the store. You might also want to [turn off automatic uninstalling of unused apps](https://9to5mac.com/2018/03/16/how-to-keep-apps-from-disappearing-from-your-iphone-by-turning-off-app-offloading/) if you still have the app, so it doesn't suddenly disappear from your phone. There are some workarounds, documented in [this Google doc created by Rebble community member NightQuest](https://docs.google.com/document/d/10KmOEu4vQ5qpOEdFVVBQgfgHam07uxDhZh6iPrjdIzY/edit?usp=sharing), but your luck may vary. Feel free to pop into the Rebble Discord linked at the very bottom of this page for help and questions. (Updated August 30th, 2019)

 ## Why Rebble Web Services?
 
 The Pebble watch is called a smartwatch. That's because it's smarter than a normal watch. Part of that intelligence is incorporated into the watch, and part of it is being delivered through web services. Originally, these web services were provided by Pebble Technology, Corp. However, Pebble Technology, Corp. halted operation, and after some time these web services have disappeared as well. That made the Pebble watch a lot dumber. Not as dumb as a normal watch, but things that were possible before, aren't possible any more. Time to ditch your Pebble? No, because...

 ### I want to add an original Pebble or Pebble Steel, but the firmware upgrade step displays "Migration Failed"
 
-The update screen also shows *Could not find any migration firmware to install.* To resolve this, you need a device with a Pebble app that has *not* been switched to Rebble. You can use another device, or remove Rebble from the Pebble app by visiting `pebble://custom-boot-config/default` from the browser, or you can remove the Pebble app from your phone and reinstall it. When you pair the watch again, it should now complete the firmware upgrade. After that, you can start using Rebble Web Services again, by following part 2 above.
