Utterly awful. Used to be clean, on one page and easy to see. Now have to scroll to find things. Poor work Garmin

I agree that it is terrible, I was so at home with the previous format and now am all at sea. Please can it be changed or give users the option to revert back?

It has been suggested that we all give the app a one star review on the App Store, along with comments. Garmin seems to be ignoring the forum comments but might take notice of dropping app ratings.

Only on Android (I use an iPad and an Android phone), In Android you can upload APKs from other app stores (I did). Its not usually a good idea as you cannot be sure of the safety of the APKs, however it does work (or will do until Garmin makes a change to synching or the database format). IoS is much stricter about the use of non standard app stores, so alas once the update happens you are stuck with it. Exporting data from the IoS app to Strava and the Google or Apple health/fitness apps is a solution that suits some people (I do that on IoS). Alas even the web version, which can be setup as a pseudo app on IoS, is just a copy of same ghastly tile interface, although at least you can see a bit more after clicking through it, as Garmin's IoS app on iPad is just a stretched version of the iPhone app. I wish they had put their effort into improving user experience by making a better iPad app, instead of this awkward amateurish effort with v5.

Garmin made an Epic Fail on the home page change. Been trying to get use to it over the last month. Certainly make me want to find a different app. Which I never thought I would ever say.

What a dog’s breakfast! I used to get all my running stats at a glance- now I have to hunt for them. Why fix what isn’t broken?

I just did this. The phone number is legit... (I googled it to check first, tho!)... Left a message with my product #1 (#1 includes my vivoactive 4). Alex answered. She was very responsive and understood and communicated she would let leadership know. She did communicate that they cannot go back; I requested they develop a new interface that looks like the old interface. Fingers crossed!

Yes. Omg always not loading properly. Had some issues before but now its crazy awful. Also why they had to separate everything so you have to click on each one? Why? Been using garmin forever but this really sucks. Makes me want go try snother brand
