Explore v4 WTF!!!

Well I have it installed and what s"""" show... Sloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow... 4 hours and STILL NOT DOWNLOADED a 1.1gb  map .. ANd then there's the app am map sizes  4x bigger than previous and NO damn option to store maps on SD card ... Yep they look prettier and may be upto date but if you can't install what you need due to LACK of storage what the heck is the point;;

Moving around the app is slow and I frequently have the wait of force close message...  I also now have an extra collection I don't and should not have...No idea what or where it is from... Everything else is there but I now have this odd new one... And reinstalling previous version though wasn't great at least it was quick and not storage hungry and you can move the whole thing to sdcard(unlike v4)

A huge MIss yet again by garmin,,,,

Seriously what is garmin doing with is eco system going from ok to BAD very quickly

    I installed on my tablet which is rooted and on my windows android system which also is rooted too check if it was as bad on them I have previous version on them  for larger screen access(windows was just too check)  And guess what folks  Garmin blocks you using it on rooted device!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, it is all "splashy" screens but worse for navigation and usage than before in few important parts. And old version was not that good either but they managed to make it more confusing and worse performing.

    Well v4 is no longer on google store lol..... massive kick back in the reviews... we was not the only ones who disliked it thankfully...

    It is working great on my Pixel 6a. I just changed my previous 2 star rating to a 5 star one because the app now finally became usable for me.

    LOL what ever.....

    you are in a very small minority given the reviews... and odd how v4 has been pulled now from the store(at the time of this comment) if it is so good... but hey ho each too their own I guess.

    that is the latest version now available

    impossible that you do not see any bugs and issue but other people do if you actually use the app.

    Here is one review that clearly illustrates some issues: youtu.be/28ivQXg6bpY

    Not impossible at all. There are hundreds of different android phones and many different Android versions out there. It's very possible that some people have issues and others do not. Also there were already updates to Explore 4.0, so people could run different versions.

    happen with the connect app threads.. Always perfect for him never any issues

    You must confuse me with somebody else. I really do not like Connect, I would be surprised if I ever wrote that it is perfect. 

    P S. Explore 4.0 (4.0.4 to be precise) seems to be back to the Play Store now.

    Which is what we said. Version 4 was a buggy mess, pulled from the store for that reason, and now updated version is again on the store hopefully with fixed bugs. Issues people reported before today were real, and if you did not notice any, it is just because you did not use those features of the app, it does not mean that bugs were not there.

    Then we are of the same opinion after all Slight smile , because I never said there were no bugs. For sure there are. They are in every software (especially Garmin's Grimacing). All I said was that I did not experience the mentioned problems and that I really liked the new Explore version.

    No we are not of same opinion. You just unintentionally admitted existence of bugs although your intention was to downplay issue that OP raised instead of try to help him.
