Ratings and reviews

heat maps are a bit poor on the app, when you zoom in they disappear. They can be very fient, almost so fient that they cannot be seen until you zoom in to a certain level, then when you zoom in a little more, the heat map disappears completely. Compared to the strava heatmaps, they are quite poor, although creating a route does seem a bit easier.

have used the app for years, it's helpful to have all my tracking (including menstrual tracking) in the same place. it helped me conceive, correctly worked out my due date and it was vital after to support in postpartum. don't know what is going on with it though, because for the last 3 months it's all over the place with it (even though I've put the correct dates of my cycle on it). whatever changed recently messed up something that actually worked well! I'm due a watch upgrade but....

This is so frustrating. The app uses WiFi to connect to whereever and Bluetooth to connect to the watch. Yet this app cause my phone to disconnect from WiFi networks, and the only way to resolve this is to turn off Bluetooth, which means the watch and app can't communicate. so what's the point. I contacted Garmin about the app and watch not connected they replaced the watch but I have the same issues with the second one.
