How to create goal in app?

Is it, after 2 years, still not possible to view your goals (and progress) in the app?

Unfathomably, it's still not possible. A work around I accidentally discovered is to create a challenge and then not invite anyone (or invite someone but ask them not to accept) then it gives you a 'challenge' that is just tracking a particular activity over a set time period for you.

So strange for a product and experience company. 

Pretty much everyone got a smartphone now and Garmin Connect Web can be used in the browser so no real need to add the goal function to the app.

I got this link added to my home screen: connect.garmin.com/.../goals

• This isn't a good take.  A good software platform doesn't offer different experiences based on how you use the product.  The fact that you have to use a workaround to break the product in a way that offers the feature, and have to resort to a browser if you want to use it correctly illustrates this.  At the end of the day you gut a feature like this when you either don't want to spend time/money implementing it on multiple platforms, or believe that it's absence makes the product better.  It clearly isn't doing the latter.  I understand that it's not a subscription based service but like the posters above have said, Garmin is known for their good hardware and user experience driven by software

This isn't a good take. 

I'd tell the reason is rather prosaic - there are so many features missing, and so many bugs, that Garmin's software department can barely handle those. So features like creating a goal, that an average user needs once a year (or does not use at all), and that can be done on the main web interface, are simply at the bottom of the To-Do list. And it is good so - personally I also prefer that they focus on the more important tasks, bugs, and features completely missing, than trying to replicate 100% of the web interface functionality.

the mobile app and website both use the same backend api.  It would take a single developer on the app team a couple of hours to at most to add the goal functionality to the app.

Still can't view goals in the mobile app. It could be an agreement with Strava as it would affect their sales. It's one of the reasons I paid for Strava.
