Can Garmin Jr connect to external apps? Strava etc.

I have a child who I'm thinking about getting a Garmin bounce. It seems like the perfect combination especially since she's currently using a ForeRunner 35 and has a gizmo watch from Verizon. Best of both worlds.

The issue is that she's kind of grown up with Strava and a few other platforms that she enjoys. There are a handful of girls she runs with that connect over these other platforms.

Based on what I've seen I would imagine that Garmin Jr doesn't connect to anything but I figured I'd ask.

My kid used to have Vivofit Jr when he was 7. As I can remember he couldn't connect it to Garmin Connect app. He had separate app for Vivofit Jr. When he grew a bit I got him Vivosport (smaller band) so he could connect to Garmin Connect (and Strava). Now he is 13 and has FR55 with Edge 520 Plus for his bike. If your child wants to connect to Strava, kids smartwatch is definetly not for her.
