Ratings and reviews

New 'in focus' update is a hot pile of stinking garbage. Please allow us to have it back the way it was useful without having to deep dive. I hate it when there is a drive to "improve" an app layout and ruin it. Having a familiar app that you've used for years and find extremely useful to access the data from your many Garmin devices is what people want. Give us the option to choose the old layout or try the new layout, don't just change it and expect us to just relearn an app's features.

On overall - great, but not outstanding. Missing some basic features, while some gimmicks and clutter needs clearing up. For example, no option to track a run with the smartphone alone, but able to add and retire gear to measure its lifespan. Also, it would be nice to be able to type in data when manually adding an activity. Imagine scrolling through the numbers one by one when recording the 1200 calories burned during a long run.

Really unhappy - every 10 days or so, the app completely fails to sync data with my Garmin watch. Each time I have to go through the whole procedure to remove the watch from the app then reconnect it. This time it still failed to sync. Completely unacceptable in my opinion. Edit: Following the latest upgrade the interface has been totally messed up, and the sync problem has got worse. I would seriously advise buying a different brand of watch.
