This screen is awful! I need my dashboard back!
Awful new screen. How do I go back to the old one??
They will never admit their mistake. Too pig headed! This is awful, I've discussed with 2 kids, their spouses and 3 friends and every one of us hates it. Just texted my younger daughter to hold off buying…
Many (including myself) have said that adding weight is more complicated. If you have IOS you can long-press the app icon and add weight from the home screen. Is the quickest way to add weight.
Hope this helps one of your many struggles with the app!
Excerpt from Wareable's article: Garmin Connect app update: Everything new from the major design overhaul
After a few months of using Garmin Connect 5.0, our experience has been largely improved.
Garmin has changed what it needed to (the main dashboard) without watering down the experience by simplifying the secondary menus.
We spent so much time in the old version of Garmin Connect that we began to accept the slightly clunky, endlessly scrolling nature of the dashboard, but there's no doubt the richer cards are an improvement.
With how I've always preferred to have it, the scrolling hasn't changed much. 5.0 could be needing less, but that's obviously with In Focus turned off. Here's an example using iPhone and iPad—yes that's how it still looks in the iPad.
Notice the reduction in contrast in the 'Last 7 Days' between numbers and text. It's visually dull and carry less impact than the slightly larger icons on the left which are the focus. Also, there could've been an option for expanding a card in 'At a Glance' to avoid having an empty space. Similar to what the Microsoft Surface did with its tiles. I added HRV just to fill this space.
A noticeable difference is that when it hasn't been synched the old layout didn't display the tiles while in 5.0 they're fixed.
I still believe there's no need to display the word 'Home' at the top. Maybe for consistency with other sections that also include it...
