New Garmin connect mobile updated home page is awful

rvz-22
over 1 year ago

I cannot believe how bad the new Garmin connect home page is. Why remove the ease of viewing my day with one glance of the app?. Now have to scroll through the page to see all the info that was contained in my day section.  On top of that, the user has no ability to bring back the old display or edit it to something similar. This new update is so annoying I suspect my next smart watch won't be a Garmin.

If this home page stays as is, I will no longer be a Garmin user for ANY of their products.

Update to moderator.   Nothing in my original post was "uncivil".  Why do you keep censoring my comments?

    it is totally awful. when garmin updates stuff they make it worse. i have been using garmin for a few years and every update is like russian roulette. you might break your watch or in this case, now have a disgusting 2 row interface which makes the whole experience worse.

    I`m still using the old app. Is there any updates on the new app? Or is it still as bad as it was?

    Absolutely agree. It no longer tracks steps per day? That sucks.

    One of the terrible change in the new APP and WEB platform was that Objectives has totally disappeared from the APP and home page. The Objectives settings is totally hidden now. only way is to browse on many menu on the web version to get it. So it makes this totally not helpful. The goal of the objective is to see how much percent I have accomplished to motivate me.

    I consider now to transfer my data on other Apps to have this nicely displayed but I really liked the Garmin echo-system. Does Garmin have UX engineers and designers to make better APP ? NOTE : The horizontal scrolling is absolutely terrible. I don't understand what makes you believe that it was a good idea.

    Is there any other people having the same issue?

    Me too. Although on IoS Im stuck with the new app, so just synch with it, on Android I can load an old APK.  I'm sure Garmin will make it incompatible with the data at some point.  But I am puzzled why the decided to upgrade the UI on a 5* app... there were some features on the old app that could be improved, but the new app really doesn't support most users use of the Garmin hardware.  Not surprising almost all the post update ratings for the new app are 1*.  A major UI fail.

    After two months, UI still sucks and Garmin has not given any reasonable explanation or answer. When people complain about features like sleep schedule which is also terrible, Garmin just gives silent treatment if they don't want to do anything about it.

    I really hate this new home page. I hardly look at it. Good thing workout calories at least go to my lose it app. This is trash. Anyone know what other watches have comparable watch features that w accurate with heart rate? Ages ago I trialed a few and garmin was best but Im thinking other sensors must have gotten better since then. I think Im leaving garmin after 7 years if they dont fix this.

    One more offensive comment and I WILL lock this thread. Complaining here is not going to do you any good, foul language or not.
