Do you have to have your phone with you in order for the apps to work?

No you don't need to have your phone with you once your phone and Pebble Steel are synced. But if you were to get SMS or phonecalls notifications in your Pebble Steel, you'd need to have your phone with you in order to reply to those phonecalls and SMS texts. I hope this helps.. Let me know if you have additional inquiries.

Not all of them. For example, playing music, pedometer, videos, pictures, exercising, and sleeping features, just to give you some examples, all of them are not dependent of the phone so you can use them while not having the phone close to you. Only apps that need live data, like notifications, are the ones that need the phone in order to operate.

I cannot answer definitively, but I think you have to be on your home wireless network. I've tried to use the iPhone app away from home and it doesn't connect.

Absolutely. You can pair to your mobile device with those apps and another com system, gps, etc.

Yes it does, but some apps are unable to download, because it keeps saying that the phone software has to be updated

Yes--the phone has the function but it needs to be established with your phone service.

No. We got well over that and it works fine. It also offers an app for your phone.

If you are willing to fight with the wifi, yes, it comes with it. Personally it hates our wifi network but works sometimes. As for apps, yes, it comes pre-loaded with Google Play as some have said, but not all apps will work with it. Just like there are some apps that are supposed to work with all Android OS devices, it's picky and some just will not run.

No, unless you want to use your phone instead of your GPS unit. So then you have to also buy the app on your phone and pair it to the display.

You need WiFi to connect to get the apps but my for year old has never once used it. We downloaded some the first day that were not that great. So basically I would say no.

Yes, through the free app you can download to your phone. It is easy to use.

No, if the phone is on there are more features available, but it works just fine without the phone.
