Where is the "Toe-to-Toe Challenge" ConnectIQ app?

In the Garmin Jr app (using iOS) if you tap the Challenges tab, then tap the "Toe-to-Toe Challenges" line, you're presented with a screen that has a "Learn More" button. You then tap the "Learn More" button and are presented with a page of text which has a "Get the ConnectIQ App" at the bottom.

You then tap this link while having the ConnectIQ Store app installed on the phone and the ConnectIQ Store app launches to load the store page for this toe-to-toe challenge app.

The store page in the ConnectIQ app says "Server Connection Error: We're having problems connecting to the Garmin Connect server. Try again" and you see a "Retry" button which always results in the same error when you tap it.

I know there's no network problem because I can view and download other apps in the ConnectIQ Store, so it seems as though this "toe-to-toe challenge" app was either removed from the store or the storefront is broken.

This is not exactly a high priority feature for me, but it does look very broken and it is rather curious as to why something is broken like this.

In summary, to reproduce this problem:

  1. Have Garmin Jr and ConnectIQ apps both installed on an iOS device.
  2. Launch Garmin Jr
  3. Tap the "Challenges" tab button at the bottom.
  4. Tap "Toe-toToe Challenges"
  5. Tap "Learn More"
  6. Tap "Get the ConnectIQ App"
  7. The ConnectIQ store app launches with an error page.
  8. Tap "Retry"
  9. Same error page always appears.

Searching for stuff like "Toe" or "Toe-To-Toe" or "garmin jr" also doesn't show any results for anything like this.

  • Thank you for your post. On the bounce watch you do not need to download this app from the Connect IQ store. It can be found pre-loaded under Games on the watch itself. I am working on updating this information in this FAQ: Using the Toe-to-Toe Challenge on a Garmin Watch

  • Will there be an update on the toe to toe app so it's compatible with a Vivoactive 5? 

  • Not that I am aware of. However it is a great suggestion! Be sure to submit it here: Garmin Ideas Portal

  • I think everyone aware of the feature knows that it’s built in on the Bounce watch and works between Bounce watches, but as the page you linked says:

    Additional watches that are compatible with Connect IQTm Store can download the Toe-to-Toe app here: Connect IQ Store app.”

    But if you click the link for the Connect IQ app you get an error page that says “

    Sorry, this page is currently unavailable.

    Please try again later.”

     Is support for this feature being dropped or is this a temporary mistake?

    The first time I tried to download the app a few weeks ago for my vivoactive 5, the app did exist on the App Store, but for some reason it supported all vivoactive devices except for the vivoactive 5. That suggested to me that the app had not been rebuilt and updated since the vivoactive 5 was released.

     My main question at this point is if support for the feature is being dropped for Connect IQ watches (which would explain the missing app) or if this is just a temporary mistake.
