Rate the new Connect Mobile home screen!

Here’s the link: Poll: Garmin Connect Mobile IOS v5.0

Started a poll to which I invite Android users to participate and rate the new home screen. I didn’t start a new thread with it here to prevent duplicate votes.

  • Oh, and my comment was deleted from this thread....why  ? is this only for the new GC Feel lovers ? 

    You did a CRAP, worse user experience ever - final proof - it is now easier to find all data on Watch screen even with touch screen off  then in mobile GC app ;-) 

  • Ex software engineer here.  Garmin have obviously brought out this "update" purely for integration purposes.  The benefit for Garmin is that their developers can reduce their workload when dealing with many similar application uses and in this case that's many devices that gather info to be presented on one app, Garmin Connect.  It can be a difficult project with time being against you, so the pressure is on to get not just the integrated version out but to cease support for old, even when the integrated version isn't 100%.  The plan then is virtually always to fill in the blanks later, using purely the integrated version.  Obviously this has serious downsides if the integrated version isn't acceptable and this is exactly what the case is.  To revert means also to basically give up on the benefits of the integrated version and get the larger workload back.  This is obviously unpalatable to Garmin hence the resistance.  What may decide this ultimately is the large number of long time dedicated Garmin users moving from the platform and ceasing to promote in their own ways.  The real fault lies in those that saw how many using the beta hated it but still decided to go ahead with cutting every customer off from the old version.  But now all attention is on Garmin's next move.  Win back their loyal customers, or limp on ahead?

  • I don't like this new connect update, it is horrible!. Could you change it?, please. 

  • Seems less intuitive, and less user friendly then the old version. I only used the older version for about a week as I am new to Garmin, but I found it much more user friendly and intuitive.

  • What kind of a vote is this anyway? Who's organising it? Is it with Garmin participation?

  • Provide an option to use the old home screen for a layout.

  • I don't like it. I am considering getting a different watch with a better app now. It is almost unusable because so many more clicks are required to get to the info I want. 

    It also seems to have bugs in the ability to customize the at a glance section.

  • Please go back! Or at least give an option to go back to the old view. Unnecessarily big boxes for one number data.  All my day with all the info should fit into one screen! 

  • I really dislike the new connect layout. Roll it back please.
