Driving range works 1% of the time/ Awesome golf simulator app 1000x better

Terrible app for driving range and tracking shots. You’ll be lucky if it works at all. It will either load at a black screen, load into the driving range successfully and track a few shots then go back to a black screen, or start flashing after a shot and eventually go to a black screen. I have to troubleshoot every time I want to use the garmin app and have spent 10-15 mins every time I use it. None of the solutions garmin offer work at all. I have restarted my r10 and phone, and disconnected/reconnected Bluetooth what feels like a 100 times now in the month I’ve owned it. My advice is to download Awesome Golf Simulator. It is a subscription but completely worth it if you don’t want to waste your time with the garmin app.

Needs an Apple Watch app for course scores and GPS distances

Would be nice with a lifetime pay once purchase with an addition of an apple watch app then I would buy it. I’m looking for a golf gps app for the watch and this is the closest thing. Maybe also pair with an optional small yearly fee to update courses if desired

What have you done?

This app used to work sporadically, but at least upload to Strava. Now it doesn't either it's utter garbage And apparently Garmin doesn't care.
Fix it or lose a long-term customer

Can’t connect watch

It’s impossible to connect a device on this app. The pairing dialogue box doesn’t open the keyboard so you can’t type the code in. Utterly useless

Eh

My biggest problem with this app is that it doesn’t seem to automatically identify statistical outliers for yardages. For example it claims my max drive is 450 yards - and I think the only way to fix this myself would be to scrub through every single hole to find where it thinks this happened and deleting that shot. It’s really frustrating that garmin can’t identify obviously wrong data and omit it from stats. Would LOVE to see this improved.
