Garmin Connect™ App Reviews

Theres no button to prompt the app to sync with your watch. My Bluetooth has been on for days and I keep opening and closing and refreshing the app and it hasnt synced in three days.

Ive been an iDevice user for YEARS and this is the very first App that I feel like I have to review. This app has lots of great information, the app itself was very difficult to setup / paid with my VivoSmart HR, it would fail constantly. I ended up setting everything up on the website then paired it and still had a few failures but eventually worked. This app has lots of information / data that seems very useful HOWEVER getting from screen to screen is almost impossible to do as there isnt any "Back" buttons apparently you have to "Swipe" back at the top of the screen? I dont really know for sure as it takes many tries to get there. Ive even had to quit the app and re-open it. If I would have known how much this app is a work in progress I probably wouldnt have bought the Gamin in the first place. Hopefully this is improved upon very soon otherwise they are going to have a lot fo very unhappy campers.

Ive only had this app for about 3 weeks,it worked great until the last update now my daily steps graph wont sync. Hope this is fixed soon. Otherwise love my garmin!

This version is s**t. I have not been able to sync since I updated and it is not due to Bluetooth, Bluetooth connection is fine. This app makes me regret spending money on a Garmin.

This app used to work fine, it wasnt the greatest sports app Ive used, but it got the job done. Ever since the Apple iOS 9.3.1 update, I am unable to pair my Garmin edge 510 to the app. Went so far as to have the device replaced by Garmin support, and it still will not work with this app. The phone pairs successfully, shows connected to the device, yet when you open the app it says the device has not been paired yet. This app needs a lot of work.

Im really liking the function and the changes made to this app. The snapshot is amazing and I enjoy being able to manipulate most of the information i.e. Heart Rate Zones, Custom Workout. It would earn five stars if I could create workouts and change the workouts on the calendar.

Ever since this app was redone I have been very impressed. Garmin devices in general (personally forerunner 230) provide an abundance of great data, so much so that it is hard to easily view it all. This app does a great job of bringing the most valuable data to the forefront in easy to understand formats. The only issue I have is it fails to auto sync with my watch when I first open it. A force sync button would be nice in this case. As it is I just cycle the app to the background of my iPhone then bring it right back to foreground to trigger auto sync.

Wont stay connected / synced. Did great the first week, then stopped paring. Have to waste time trying fix it. Debating on taking it back. Otherwise its good. Little behind on actual calories burned.

For three days now, it will not show my steps when k sync my device to the app! I was over on steps for 2 of those days and it shows I have no apps. It shouldnt be this difficult for me to see my steps. It makes it harder for a correct myfitnesspal.

Still wont pair. Its been a month. Fix the problem.

Overall I like the platform... Lots of info however the app could be more intuitive as with the Fitbit, UA or even jawbone apps. I like the ability to have dedicated groups and random challenges. I would like to see more functionality within the challenges and connections side of the app. The only major downside that Ive seen so far is the stairs/elevation tracking metric appears to be off. I hope to see Garmin make corrections with future updates.

The Connect App was downloaded 6 months ago when I chose Garmin as my fitness device to keep track of my fitness goals and I have been glad I chose Garmin because of the Connect App. A notification is sent when the system is being worked on and that has only happened one or two times in the 6 months I have had my Garmin device. No complaints, I find Connect very helpful!

Useless. Worse than useless because it takes up space on my phone. Cant log in. I know my user name and password is correct as I can log into the website based app via safari.

Owned many Garmin devices - currently using Forerunner 620. This mobile app is a POS. Wont automatically download my workouts and can no longer pair the watch with my phone at all. Forget the 1000 extra "data points" they now offer, how about just getting my runs to upload??? Tech support told me I had to disconnect all my other Bluetooth devices - yeah thats practical. Waste of money!

I am not wanting anything that tells me everything. I want to know calories vs energy used and what activities I am doing. Easy to use.

Lost two 15,000+ step days during last two syncs with Vivofit. Resyncing did not fix. Very frustrated!

Ive been using this app for four months and have really liked it, but as of April 23 I have no longer been able to sync. Please fix this or post instructions on how to fix it. Im losing the ability to see my progress

I wish to be able to edit the activity on workouts, runs, cardio, etc. sometimes I forget to stop the activity and it goes for another hour. I would like to be able to trim it down ~1 hour. Sometimes I forget to start the activity and miss ~30 mins of the on it. Love the app a bit wonky and takes time to get used to. overall good app... Side tip of the app is working good for you dont update it, it usually comes with more issues than fixes. Wait for others to update and then read their reviews. Update: went against my better judgement and updated app. Very disappointed with how the changed the coloring of the heart rate monitor line.. Really wish they would include all changes being made to the app in the patch notes...

This is a great app and continues to be upgraded with all the new options available. The only thing that could be improved is how it connects to Apple Health metrics and and to the Tanita scale (BC1000) data.

I have been using the Garmin app with my vivofit for over two years in hopes that it would improve. With their latest update I can no longer even get my synced steps to show up on the app. When I decide to upgrade to a better product it will NOT be anything made by Garmin due to their terrible software.
