On the iPhone Connect App, entering data on the high end of the number scale is cumbersome because of the scroll wheel vs number screen. For example; burn 800 calories or hear beat of 165, you need to scroll and scroll and scroll until you reach the number. I would be interested in a number screen instead of scroll wheels (like my tablet has). The other option is to program both and have a user choice in the settings.
I second this idea. Inputting any data in Connect (on mobile) should be through free-text, using the keyboard, rather than a numerical scroll. Scrolling to input a 2000m swim takes about 2 minutes of manual scrolling. Painfully slow and frustrating.
I third this idea. Its a problem for the android version of the app, as well. Having to scroll to the quadruple digits for entering calories, because this app doesn't record live workouts, is absolutely ridiculous. Whatever code junkie decided that their scroll wheel code was amazing should get over it and give us back the keyboard for these kinds of things. Or at least an option for both!
Scroll wheels are a ridiculous input system. What kind of simpleton does Garmin think we are that we'd be impressed by, and prefer to use scroll wheels rather than free text to input entries.
Unbelievably frustrating when trying to create training programmes when you have to tap so many more times than you would otherwise.
You are posting to the forum of Garmin Connect Web (not to the forum of Garmin Connect Mobile), and in that interface you enter the values with the keyboard, not with any scroll wheels. So if you prefer the keybord entry, you could use the web interface, it works fine on phones too.
I'm amazed how many times this ahs been suggested and for how long. Multiple threads asking for the same thing. It's a pretty simple UI change. Garmin Connect Mobile Android are you listening?
