The OnePlus Health companion app went live on Google Play last night, ahead of the band’s launch. “Pair and manage various smart devices such as smartwatches and bands,” reads the app description.

The UI will feel familiar and so will the features. The folks at XDA Developers dug into the app’s source code to find animations on how to use the band. They even discovered all the watch faces, which you can check right here. You can get a closer look at the OnePlus Band right here:
