Hello! With the release of the Approach R10, we have a ticket open with our developers to optimize the app for tablets. I would be happy to add you to that ticket. I am sending you a private message.

Certified for Garmin?

It is the Garmin app from a different site than Google Play.

The issue here is that Garmin does not develop their app for tablets. That does not mean it will not work on tablets.

It works on mine.

2.9.1 works fine on my tablet, so what is the issue?

I just bought a Galaxy Tab A8.

It was a total let-down!

It was such a waste of money!

YOUR APP DOES NOT WORK ON A NEW ANDROID SAMSUNG A8 TABLET??

What is the current status on this matter?

Is there at least a work-around?

Thanks for your help -

Best regards from Switzerland.

The workaround is in the lasr post before Yours.

Yep, I saw that and working on it and believe I will somehow get there with that, so thanks.

But can this really be a Garmin-Solution?? A link outside of the official app-store - this is definitely not what I expect from Garmin-Quality.

I have no idea why Garmin does not put the app on their website.

I expect that is due to them not testing the app on android tablets, and hence they will not support it.

So if the app is not working on Your tablet, You cannot complain since it is not supported

I have yet to see any posts stating it is not working on tablets (it has worked exactly the same as on my phone for me), but I have seen many posts with issues on phones.

So maybe Garmin should stop support for phones, and only do tablets instead? (Ps, joke).

What I like about apkcombo site is that they have all previous releases available also. So if a new version is not working, You can always revert to the previous release

I wish that was possible for the firmware for R10 also.
