The built-in Music app on the Pebble works pretty good as a controller, but has limitations and is somewhat ugly in my opinion.

SongView is designed to showcase the album artwork that is currently playing on your iPhone, with extended music controls too.
Here's a current preview:
SongView is pretty much a mashup of parts of PebbGPS and Katharine Berry's brilliant Peapod proof-of-concept (thanks to Katharine for her work and generous code licencing).
SongView features:
- Large album art for the current playing song
- One-click toggle to full title/album/artist information, or shake to quickly view
- Integrated clock (so no need to exit to check the time!)
- Current song progress
- Volume controls in addition to the standard Play/Pause, Next song and Rewind buttons
- Shuffle All functionality
- iPod Library navigation - Playlist/Artist/Album etc
The now-playing info and music control is currently limited to songs played through the built-in iPod app due to iOS restrictions. Hopefuly iOS 8 brings some changes to free this up, but will have to wait and see.
Available in the iOS app store for US$0.99:
