Ratings and Reviews
Good app overall
The app performs well, doesn’t crash and allows you to see all the data organised neatly which is great. The only problem is that you can log only weight changes manually. In order to log and follow Body fat through the app and have it reflect the fitness age you need also to connect garmin scale, can’t do it manually.
One of the worst apps I have seen in my lile
Update: music controls widget not available at all on iOS app, my 5yo pebble has is!?!
- The app is very slow!
- Watches and widget settings windows keep quitting while you are in the middle of you changing something..
- You often can't close app store page, clicking close does nothing.
- If you try a watch app and don't like it you can't remove it from your list anymore, it's forever going to polite that list.
- Trainings often fail to save bc of slow communication with the phone.
- I had to disable the sync with apple health, to stop the Garmin connect from crashing every 20-30 seconds.( According to Devs this was unexpected behaviour because of daylight saving in Europe, lol they didn't expect the daylight saving, such a surprise!)
- Whether widget on the watch often does not load the weather because obviously, the app doesn't have the courtesy to respond.
- The setting page is bloated with crap you can barely find what you need, it's also, you have guessed it, SLOW!!
- There are many other small issues that make this app a pain and frustration to use.
Can't believe a company that pretends to be a market leader can do so bad.
On the plus side, the app almost works!
App and device usability
Between me and my husband, we’ve had 7 different Garmin bands and watches over the past 5 years. I used to swear by the devices and the app, but lately I feel like they are falling a bit behind with innovation and improvement. While the app contains a lot of information it is not very intuitive and a lot of the integrations with other apps rarely work. In terms of focus, it’s most suitable for more hardcore sports lovers and athletes. If you seek casual health and fitness monitoring device I’d choose a different system. For the same reason I switched and will no longer be using Garmin.
