AWFUL!!!
This is one of the most most awful, badly written apps I have ever had the misfortune to use. Being told I have to move from my fully functional App to this completely useless train wreck of a program was the worst experience I have had. I now have an partially install connection to my watch that freezes the screen when I attempt to complete and cannot be removed. The only way they have ironed out the bugs in this abomination is so they can run on flat bugs.

Updated App a major disappointment
The previous App had some cool UI and animations, great startup time, some instructions on how-to, but was littered with misspellings and bad navigation.
The new app fixes the spelling mistakes but has a startup time of 10 seconds - to a marketing page, an additional 2-3 seconds to get to the watch page. No cool UI and no animations, but at least the misspellings are gone. No how-to instructions but for a link to a webpage manual. Casio has some of the best watches with great functionality but has decided not to invest in a great app. Hope the next app will combine the two and be as impressive as the watch line-up.

Forced new app to add adverts!
Always trusted the Casio brand and have had loads of g shocks along the way but this app is less functional for my watch and has only been forced onto the consumer so they can regurgitate more adverts and sales pitches. Can’t now access features on the watch because the old app is frozen out and just wants to send you to advert app.
Such a shame!

App is NOT stable!!!
Installed the app. Added 31 gshocks. Paired my 17 Bluetooth watches with the app. 2 days later it crashed and I lost all 17 BT watch pairings. Then I just paired one BT watch with it - the watch I am wearing. Less than a week later the app crashed again and I lost that watch pairing as well. The app is nicely designed and has nice features, but all of those features are useless if the app keeps crashing. If it happens again, I’ll just stop using BT on my watches and revert to MB6.

Mad at Casio
Dear Casio,
I would like to first say the reason I wear your watches is due to the dependability and reputation for quality. All of this being said I purchased a watch with a built in step tracker and love it. This past week I was prompted to migrate my watch to the “new app” for a better experience.
The new app is nothing more than a storefront for more products that I neither want or need. All of the things I fell in love with your watch and g-shock connect app are gone and I have to deal with this goofy interface that is in no way what I want.
To be honest I would love to go back to the old app and deal with it being out dated as opposed to what I have now. Please do something for the people who want to use your watch to it’s full potential without having you try to sell me something every time I try to log in.

App doesn’t show accurate numbers
I have the GBD-800 watch and for some reason my steps register as high activity, walking 15-20k steps a day it shows me burning triple the amount it used to show on the Connected app. Also if I don’t connect my watch within 6 hours the steps I took don’t register (used to be fine for up to a week on the Connected app). Nice looking app with a bunch of ads but lost almost all its functionality, I have to look at data from before the data transfer just to get an accurate figure for calories burned and look at my steps before midnight to make sure I got the full step count

Worse
All I wanted to do was update the time after a flight, and I was confronted with instructions to change to a new app. I did the data transfer as suggested, installed the new app, and.. nothing. There is nothing there. I do know that I am now constantly badgered to create an ID. I see no reason Casio needs any user information from me to support a product they have been supporting until now. Given the complete absence of data after following the instructions, I have no confidence in continuing to use this new app. Why, Casio? Why? It’s worse now, while before it was simple and elegant. What a disappointment.

Why
Old G-Shock app worked great. No issues. Go on one day and it says I need to get new app. I have to set up all my watches again and reconnect to the new app, bad start. Now, syncing and connecting is way more clunky and requires more taps. My watches no longer sync automatically and when I manually sync, error every time. Bad all around.
Casio/G-Shock need to figure it out as they continue to push more bluetooth and connected watches. I have been a G-Shock owner for over a decade and new customers are not going to deal with this clunky bluetooth garbage. Great in theory, poor execution.

Feature missing from G-Shock app
I transferred my data from the G-shock app to this app as prompted, as theG-Shock app will be discontinued. I have a gba-800, and with the G-shock app there was a share function that allowed one to choose a photo and have that day’s step data imprinted on it. I’ve been using this nice feature to journal my hikes across the country and now that isn’t available in this app.
I feel that of one is to replace an app at least the existing features should be on the new app, and even add additional functionality. I hope there will be updates coming, and I’ll update my rating then.

Registration required
App does NOTHING other than show you ads for new G-SHOCK watches until you register your watch and create a Casio account. I am liking my Bluetooth connected watch but I’m not interested in putting all my info into an online account. Deleted the app right away. If this is the direction Casio are headed, this may be the last G-SHOCK watch i buy.
