Connect App Beta

Former Member over 7 years ago

Hi Eveyone,
I have the connect app on my iPhone 7 and iPad, with my fenix5s syncing to my Iphone & home wifi.
Yesterday while using the app on my iPad I had a pop up asking if I wanted to use the beta app my day, it looks nice.

Im wanting to use the my day beta app on my iPhone as well.
Would anyone know how I get the beta app also on my phone?

Cheers.

Yep you are correct the app is updated, I have the features but the old look.

Interesting. After reading on DC Raimakers site that the full roll out isn't supposed to happen until mid-October I checked my phone and beta access is still there and turned on. So it looks like the new features were in the update but not the new UX.

Strange way to go about things if you ask me.

So i uninstalled the app (which I had previously tried) and re-installed and I now have the beta option under the settings menu :)

I've tried that a few times now.. No bueno. Garmin hates me and I've given them thousands of dollars over the last 20 years... :(

Go figure, can't think of anything different I did when reinstalling the second time other than it was the latest version, just answered allow to everything it asked.

I couldn't see the beta on my settings so I knew I was not selected yet. So I deleted the app and and downloaded it again and voila it appeared the beta option!

Ok, you inspired me to try again by deleting the app and reinstalling and... BOOM beta access! Garmin loves me!

Did the same (after switching the phone to US English) : super nice interface ! Like it a lot. Reminds me a bit of the pre-black era interface for those of us who remember ;)

I tried the 'switch to US English' and i now have beta access... Superb, it looks great :-)

I have literally tried a dozen uninstalls and re-installs, including changing the device language to USA English and back to UK. Still nothing. I dont have the BETA option in settings.

Most annoyingly is that i had this prior to restoring my phone to factory settings, and now its lost.

Is there any other way to force this?
