All iPhone’ apps don’t use arrow back button.. Thanks ### 4/5 — 러닝 침체기를 벗어나는 동기를 받았어요 *2026-07-27* 한동안 어떻게 뛰어도 힘들고 재미 없었습니다. 가민워치를 차고 수치와 러닝 가이드를 받으니 새로운 재미를 찾았어요 ### 5/5 — Free *2026-07-21, version 2.48* Great I thought that this was all payments for watch faces but most of them are free ### 5/5 — Great app to pair with the watch *2026-07-19, version 2.48* Casual bullying, gaslighting my lifestyle…everything a 90’s kid needs to get better at running. Seriously though, using only the free features is heaps to give me the data I need to improve my running. Haven’t yet figured out if I can set up a third party chest strap monitor or if I need to have a Garmin branded one. No points lost on it. ### 3/5 — Nice idea *2026-07-17, version 2.48* Ok, many of the faces very complex. I finally made a simple one by using my own photo as a backdrop. As a woman wearing the small sized garmins, there is no option to up the font in the design, so I can’t read the details when I am not wearing my glasses. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-15, version 2.48* Currently using a basic forerunner 55, but the app has so many features I can use that make it better ### 5/5 — Showw *2026-07-09* Perfeito ### 5/5 — Everything you want and more. *2026-06-29, version 2.47.1* Works great could not ask for more. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-06-27, version 2.47.1* I love the app, when it works Recently I was trying to install new apps because sometimes I get bored and need a game on my watch every games or background etc I tried to install it would not let me it simply said error try again and this also happened when I tried to update the apps I have on my watch I would love if maybe that can get fixed but looking past that this is a great app ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT - been using for over 5 years! *2026-06-25, version 2.47.1* Excellent app. I have been using for years . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bug causes faces to delete *2026-09-04, version 2.49* There is a major bug where when you try to uninstall a watch face you no longer want it will uninstall the WRONG face. Because it’s basically random which one will ACTUALLY get uninstalled I had to uninstall EVERY face, delete the one I didn’t want from my account and then reinstall the ones I did want and redo the settings on them. Should have taken 5 seconds to get rid of one watch face, took half an hour instead ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-30, version 2.49* Although the Garmin connect app syncs happily with my new Garmin watch on both my phone and iPad this thing cannot see the watch and therefore I cannot access any of these utilities. Setting up the new Garmin watch was a nightmare and it’s very fiddly in use. No reasons to buy a different brand. ### 1/5 — Could be improved *2026-08-27, version 2.49* It’s not well integrated into other apps. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-26, version 2.49* Aqua Quest….face app was in free section and no indication this was a paid app nor a trial period stated in description…so I had this face for a few days and received an update that developer wanted payment on my watch which wiped out my PAID faces ON MY WATCH that I purchased. *No app should do this.* Had to reboot watch and reload my PAID watch faces. Can not remove pay now message on watch which it causes the watch to flash and stutter choosing a face. On connect IQ store the app is not shown in face list but the count says the bad app is in my watch which the face app is not just the message. Connect IQ app also rebooted, device restarted and same bad results ALSO requested a refund on another app which was compatible but would not load and have not received a refund notice ( been days and plenty of time for refund notice)and face app is still in my not downloaded face list so off to Garmin to file a complaint that I cannot remove app/ glitchy notice off my connect IQ nor Watch and where is my refund notice and removal of two face apps on app and watch. I DONT EXPECT RESPOND NOR RESULTS. What a mess! ### 1/5 — Games *2026-08-16, version 2.48* MAKE GAMES FOR PEOPLE 12 AND UNDER ### 1/5 — Suck *2026-07-30, version 2.48* The watch faces are impossible to download and always stuck in install Queued,,, ### 1/5 — Low quality of devices *2026-07-17, version 2.48* I expected much better quality from Garmin. After just over two years of moderate use, the battery on my watch started failing and it now shuts down while still showing around 58% battery. As a result, I can no longer reliably track my activities because the watch turns off after about an hour of walking. That’s not what I expect from a premium product. Unfortunately, Garmin’s response was disappointing, and because of this experience I won’t be buying Garmin products again. ### 1/5 — Phone connection *2026-07-01, version 2.47.1* Ever since the update, I’ve had an issue with my phone connecting to my watch ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-06-24, version 2.47.1* What a useless app, Garmin instinct 3 comes loaded with everything I already needed. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-06-06, version 2.46.2* New user. New $1700 watch. App thinks the watch is running old software when its not. Checked google, known issue for ten years but they seem unable to fix it. Wow. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy peasy *2026-08-31, version 2.49* Garmin Connect IQ makes getting started much easier and faster. ### 5/5 — Connect IQ *2026-08-31, version 2.49* As a completely free addition to my watch - i simply love the functions and options available that allow me to refresh my watch face easily . ### 5/5 — Bom aplicativo *2026-08-15* Gostaria de mais aplicativos oficiais da Garmin para o modelo 55 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-08, version 2.48* Lots of information but easy to navigate. ### 5/5 — 좋아요 *2026-08-06* 이쁜 페이스도 사고 어플도 사고 가민페이까지 쓸 수 있게되면 넘 좋겠지만 그건 포기하더라도 다른 장점이 많아 잘 쓰고 있습니다. ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2026-08-05* Muito bom ### 5/5 — Nice App *2026-08-04, version 2.48* Easy to navigate great for the Garmin watches, lots of customisation available ### 5/5 — Instinct e *2026-07-28, version 2.48* Works extremely well and I lot it some people say they have connection problems but that’s because you can only go 30 feet away from your phone over all a great app and I’m very Satisfied ### 5/5 — Appli complète de zinzin en data ! *2026-07-28* Au top ! J’avoue que j’avais déjà l’application depuis un moment avec mon compteur GARMIN Edge Explore 2, mais je ne l’utilisais pas tant que ça, depuis que je possède une montre GARMIN cela change totalement l’utilité de cette application ! Elle et énormément de DATA, moi qui viens du monde chez Apple… autant vous dire que ça me change totalement ! J’avoue qu’elle manque un poil de « modernité » mais ont arrive à s’y retrouver malgré tout très bien, malgré qu’il faut un petit temps d’adaptation ! Franchement je la recommande en complément des appareils GARMIN, ça vous change totalement l’expérience ! 🤗 ### 5/5 — Aplicación inteligente *2026-07-25, version 2.48* Tengo varios relojes Garmin. Suelo alternarlos en diferentes actividades y eventualmente descargo aplicaciones o diseños de pantallas. La APP muestra lo que hay disponible para cada equipo, todo es automático y eficiente. Me gusta que sea así, felicitaciones amigos de Garmin! Buen trabajo! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
