Ratings and reviews

Used to sync 99% of the time, now syncs less than 20% of the time since the major "update". Also, average daily steps no longer accurate, 71k in last 7 days, 8,8k average by day? 28 day average also wrong, this is so simple to get right but they manage to mess it up. They've taken something that worked and turned it into something that no longer works. Well done developers!

After the recent upgrade the layout is now incredibly difficult to navigate. The old style layout was very user friendly, I could see everything at a glance. This new layout is absolutely awful. 23/05/24: still can't get used to new layout. I'm going to ditch the Garmin for good and buy a different watch which is a shame because I've used Garmin for several years but I am hating the app upgrade.

This app worked perfectly until the last rather major update. Now it fails to sync automatically with any of my 3 garmin watches. The new format seems to be designed for the blind and now makes poor use of any phone screen with the exception of a Z Fold in the open position. Please release an option to roll back to the previous version.
