Garmin Connect Mobile Updated Home Page

Did Garmin really update this post to add a link to the FAQ which everyone is already aware basically says "tough, it's not changing" ?

I thought perhaps this was just poor testing and there was hope they would listen to their users, but now it just looks like complete arrogance and really not caring about customers at all.

That is a horrible sort “fu” response - to all the Garmin users. 

I’ve stopped using my Vivoactive 4 and moved the GC app to the last of my iPhone screens. I now onlyUse it for when I ride my bike and transfer the information to Strava.

ill be moving to a wahoo bike computer (just ordered one of these - https://www.wahoofitness.com/devices/bike-computers/elemnt-bolt-buy ) and either sell or throw away my Vivoactive and edge 130.

Way to lose customers Garmin. 

I wonder if this will fiasco will start showing up in the future sports business classes at universities as an example on how to completely fail at engaging the community you support? That is, this is pretty much a very clear demonstration of how to fail to increase the customer's satisfaction with a company's product. And then: even to frustrate them. And then I wonder if the class will touch on how, over the next years, Garmin saw huge losses in the numbers of purchases by the runner/biker/swimmer/ etc community and their movement to other platforms - because they were adamant that this was a modern design and felt it best to ignore the users. 

Oh, a kind we-don't-care-reply.

You can't, it's not possible to reverse to the old version.

• Unlike many others, I have somewhat less trouble with the current UI on my iPad, provided two things are changed:
  ANY item should be able to be a focus, including e.g. blood pressure.
  Below that ALWAYS a self-set unlimited number of glances.

 No, it is much worse. For years now I have been annoyed to no end by the major inconsistencies in the iPhone and iPad app. A few examples, which I noticed again in the most recent version:

• Values on home screen and underlying details are different.
• You sometimes have to sync multiple times to update the underlying screens.
• Underlying values and graphs sometimes do not match
• Within one graph, the values of the y-axis are different when you scroll back through time. That way you can never compare easily.
• Number of heartbeats can be entered in blood pressure measurement but are not shown anywhere.
• Regularly unclear whether something is an absolute value or an average.
• etc. etc.

 I reported on this at length years ago in the Apple shop. I never got the impression that anything was done about it by Garmin..

 I think if I start testing seriously again -which I have absolutely no intention of doing- I will have many pages full again in no time. From a 35-year ICT career some hint for Garmin:

• Start over from scratch with the apps.
• Let some experienced designers make a good functional description in cooperation with a group of experienced users.

 And if Garmin don't want that (and they don't want much I get the impression):

• Start up an experienced test team
• Test the current system top-down in detail for each function/sub-function.

 Until this happens, the whole app will remain what it has been for years: an incosistent user-unfriendly mess.

Absolute musts for a new version:
- Improved landing screen
- Full-screen for iPad
- Create your own screen with number of desired fields for specific custom goals

If I sit down for a moment, I effortlessly come up with more useful functionality, but unfortunately Garmin doesn't pay me for that.

By the way, I helped them quite a bit in their economic growth with all equipment I bought.  Time they return that with a functioning app.

The new layout is Terrible. And I am not saying that because the newer one is different.  The older layout presented information in a more simple way, nearly everything fit on one screen without the need to scroll down.  

The new layouy is an inefficient use of space. Give us the rows back. 

It is not recording my activity
