doubles my kms on bike ride
Worst app for smart watch ever. Even just trying to add a new workout is a ridiculous process. Can't even reply to messages most of the time. Only good thing about the Garmin watch is it's battery life, otherwise it's just garbage. Even the yoga poses are limited and no way to add more. Pointless app. May as well not have it.
Intrusive Ads I switched to Garmin from Samsung because Samsung Health put ads at the top of its fitness tracking app. Now Garmin Connect is doing the same. I didn't buy a $1,000 for a fitness branded watch so its paired app could serve me more ads. Not good branding. Make the ads optional. Put an opt-out toggle in settings. Just deliver the experience people pay $$$ for.
too many glitches on the app. using Felix 7 PRO Sapphire.
Nutrition tracking broke. Now it doesnt show any of the commonly used foods, and none of the favorites I had saved. this is supposed to be a paid premium feature. Not only is it way worse and behind all competitors in this space but now it breaks and contact support doesnt help.
Unstable bluetooth earphone connection cannot be fixed on the app. Why have devices with music capability with terrible Bluetooth connection.

Worst app and UI ever. Hard to get track, course. garmin connect with force closed after open all the time.
After owning my Fenix 6 Pro for a few years I am so sick of it and this app. The biggest issue is every time you restart your phone or watch, or you don't click on the app every day, you have to reconnect it to the app. Also the weather never works. If you bought a Garmin watch and see this review, return the watch while you can, it's way too much for how useless I feel it is. I rarely use the app now and my watch is now just a basic watch that can track my miles and hr.
Stopped working, not connecting, won't update.
it doesn't sync fine with the devices and it is always failing.
Takes forever to sync. Need to frequently restart. Every time Garmin updates the app, it makes me reconnect and re log in like my Venu Sq is new. Very poor app.
All of a sudden I couldn't connect my Garmin Edge 530 to Garmin Connect (both iPhone and Android). Tried resetting both phone and bike comp, uninstalling Garmin Connect app but no luck. Fixed it and I'll give 5 stars.
Au fil des mises à jour, les scores de sommeil sont devenus du grand n'importe quoi. C'était le seul truc qui justifiait de porter la montre la nuit. À présent, ce n'est plus la peine.
crash too much
having issues with my 2 yrs Venu Sq 2 where the battry is draining very fast within 2 hrs of charge the batry stood at 60%. Is there any updates to correct same ?
это отзыв на garmin vivoactive 6 - крайне неточная вещь. неправильно меряют частоту дыхания, завышают на 10-50%. Периодические неправильно меряют пульс, ошибки в обе стороны, например после быстрого подъёма пешком на 13 этаж пишут пульс 90-100, а на самом деле он в районе 150, а во время быстрой ходьбы по лесу показывают пульс 160, хотя на самом деле он в районе 90. почти каждый день отмечается как stressful, хотя по ощущениям это не так. Итого: это просто игрушка, пользы очень мало
