Ratings and reviews

I'm able to read my messages from all other apps on my Garmin watch. But TickTalk notifications don't contain a message preview. It just says I have a ticktalk message. So I have to dig up my phone, and go through a series of about 10 clicks to find the message. The notification does not take you to the app. Going to the messages does not load the newest message. You have to go back out of the app and go back in. It takes a long time to find out what my kid wants to tell me.

So I went to update some settings on the app, and it appears all previous setup is lost. It's asking me to re setup the watches. The app in my location doesn't seem to have many issues, but the location of my kids isn't as "real time" as I'd like it to be. My main issue is with the app at the moment. If I can get it logged in and working again, then if my settings are still there, I will come back and rate this better.

Update: OK, we have lift off! I tried every day last week (starting Tuesday) and finally this morning the SIM card is working. Voice calling works, location tracking works, texting works, etc. Super excited There are way too many bugs on the Tick Talk 5. The Sim is activated, but it won't make or receive calls, as soon as it's outside of wifi it goes offline (essentially defeating the entire reason I bought the watch). I hope these issues get worked out otherwise this watch is getting returned!

What's new
