GARMIN EXPRESS ISSUE: some Widgets/Apps are duplicating

BikerWithAVenu2

Hi

I noticed the following ISSUE:

Certain apps or widgets show up twice in in the App List in Garmin Express (Windows) - see screenshot below!

Currently the following apps have duplicates: 

  • Garmin Hydration Widget
  • Garmin Connect Challengers
  • myABC (Altimeter Barometer App)

The apps are only duplicating on Garmin Express, not on the watch itself (VENU 2, currently on firmware v 4.67)

I tried to remove one instance of each app, but it did not work. I have also tried to remove the affected apps completly and then reinstall it, also without permanent success....

Is anyone else experiencing similar problems?


 please keep us posted on any findings!

    It's actually not an issue.  I've been doing CIQ apps for a long time, and the Venu2 is the first CIQ 4.x device.  With 4.0, the "widget" type app no longer exists, and is now a "super app" which can show up both in the glance loop as well as the activity loop, and can be removed from either or both.  Here's a screen shot of some of my test apps that make it a bit clearer.  Notice that Simple Lean G2 is a watch face and only shows once,

    Pi Temps is a widget on pre 4.x devices, and shows up on the venu2 as both a device application as well a glance - it's a "super app" and shows in two different places on the venu 2 and therefore shows up in two places in Garmin Express:

    I disagree, the ui in express could have been done in a much better way.

    Imho there should be one listing per app. The X should remove the app.

    A right click option or a dropdown option should be provided to disable the glance/app version. 

    This would be a lot better implementation as removal of an app is a lot more common action than disabling one of it's functions (this action is rare)
