Good morning out!
ever since the last update the app has been almost unusable. I have reached out to support as I can't open any of the different things in the app I can only see my home screen but have not heard from them as of yet. For example I went for a walk and cannot even open the walk statistics. I hope they come out with a new update very very soon to correct the bugs that they created with the last one. Until then I'm not sure how usable it is.
Otherwise ok app but it is incredibly frustrating that you can't reschedule workouts (runs on garmin run coach plan) on this app. Other incredibly annoying feature is that sometimes you get audio instructions of the workouts to your headphones and sometimes you don't.
very poorly designed app.
Cool but hard to navigate. missing a bunch of common exercises. UI is bad as editing exercises afterwards is tedious and frustrating. There is a ton of info between the watch and the app but finding things can be difficult. An example is max heart rate and heart rate zones. my watch has it under settings>heart rate> heart rate and power. Instead of being under the heart rate settings on the app, it's under your device profile. Now try to find the 1 rep max screen on this app. It exists.
not letting me to do anything, I can't connect the data to my vivoactive s4
I paid extra for the nutrition app and it's hot garbage. Cannot believe this shipped to customers at a premium price. Digging through the catalogue to find foods I already eaten is clunky. Why can't I search for food I've already logged? Need to find something to log in the catalog? Good luck, the portions are out of whack. Imperial, metric, fillets, handfuls even. I cannot believe how bad this. Garmin didn't seem to bother adding anything and nothing has pictures making searching even harder.
I select no notifications from my phone to my watch double check they are all disabled and yet it persists to send them anyways. It then won't allow data to transfer to my fitness pal. Can't figure out anyway to fix it.
Priority given to iPhone users. They still haven't synced DND on androids. Besides this, every setting seems counterintuitive.
There's loading errors that won't go away even if I restart the app.
Pairing is continuously broken and buggy for my MARQ Aviator
horrible ux of mobile app. Save share route as favorite. couldn't find it anywhere in the app afterwards. not possible to download road as gpx... not recommended
I cannot open an account, screen doesn't show anything after accepting T&C. What could be the reason?
Riddled with bugs that never get fixed. End points of routes have been disappearing for over a year, unable to edit an imported course without the whole thing deleting, impossible to edit a route on a phone without a stylus, the list goes on. How does such a huge company have such a poor app?
VPN will make the app freeze. They really need to figure this out as it will completely soft-lock.
Got a new phone and my watch is laying on my phone and will not pair t o the app. I have followed all the troubleshooting items and still nothing.
Ive owned a few of Garmins competitors fitness & health devices (watches), & can give an honest assessment of Garmin. HW is great. Their apps are so un-user friendly, just figuring out the sequences on how to start & stop an activity is ridiculously over complex. I owned a Samsung Galaxy Pro 5 watch, & it was 100% seemless in use & 100% free for ALL HEALTH FUNCTIONS, no side gimmicky rip off the consumer side challanges, like both Garmin & Apple slime their customers with...its DISGUSTING.
Since last update, I've tried everything but I no longer get the temperature on my tracker. Also the latest update is filled with useless activities. I don't want your HUGE, SUPERSIZED boxes that make you scroll in all directions just to see results. The old format was great, but the new one has doubled in size filled with unwanted junk, as it wastes storage space on our phones. Apparently china needed to destroy this app so they can track, harvest & sell more of our personal information.
needs to make it so you can manually add activity minutes and steps for when you device dies. *EDIT* The app isnt keeping a good track of heart rate and I've now lost over a 2 year streak of having over 175 activity minutes every week. It would be nice to have an accurate device for $300+. Definitely considering switching to Whoop.
