Absolutely worthless

I have an M4 iPad Air and an iPhone 17 Pro. This app is impossible to use. Can’t pair. Pop the sd card out if you need to get data but this app wasted every second I tried to use it. To the point I’ll never buy another garmin anything.

The Best

I was looking for a dash cam with 24hr recording for my trip from California to Colorado. I purchased and returned 3 different cameras , not because of camera quality but because of the junk app. Pricey cameras with junk apps.
I was about to give up on 24 hr monitoring and found this Garmin . Both the camera and the app is excellent ! I am very satisfied with this app to view the recordings and store them in the vault .
