Lo recomiendo

Es muy confiable

Terrible

I am so frustrated with Garmin. I spend a lot of money on a Fenix, Edge 1040, inReach Mini and the Messenger, Garmin Connect etc never seems to work for more than a day or two and I have to factory reset everything. I have spent countless hours trying to resolve the issues to no avail. Total amateur hour at Garmin. Cannot wait until Apple and/or StarLink sends Garmin into extinction. Garmin will have deserved it and will get zero sympathy from me. Enjoy your final hours Garmin, you deserve your coming ignominy.

Excellent way to track family member

With a family member undertaking a long hike in areas without phone coverage this app along with his Garmin unit we are able to communicate and check on his safety. Excellent app and GPS system.

No MapShare

Messages work, MapShare does not

Terrible

Does not send verification codes so completely unusable

Не дает даже зарегистрироваться

Hi please assist

Unable to register

Was excited at the prospect of using this app. Completely lost it as you are unable to register with a South African phone number. Jumped through hoops to try get it resolved but no luck. Disappointing experience

Carabiner broke after hiking only 1.2 miles

Very disappointed. App and device seam to be working fine but the materials used are extremely low quality. I didn’t even have the subscription for 2 days when this happened. I was lucky to notice and not loose the device. I was hiking alone in area where the cell service is spotty.

Should be able to make presets

Can’t even make presets for the watch

I love my watch so much

I love my watch so much

It’s like Garmin doesn’t want my money.

Too difficult to reactivate the Garmin InReach. This is exactly why the iPhone satellite text is killing your business.

Just use your iPhone

I just use my iPhone. I will cancel within the year. Garmin CS isn’t very good either.

Can’t connect

I never received the code so I can’t use it…

Message

Don’t get the notifications on my watch

為什麼傳來的驗證碼都是錯的?

如題

Totally sucks

Doesn’t work at all

Incomprehensible

This device is impossible to figure out. Instructions and app are useless. I can’t get anything to work.

Badges not showing

Functional, but badges don’t show on app icon. So if I miss the lockscreen notification, I don’t see that a new message has come in.

Unhappy

Impossible to set up in South Africa. Support useless. Says mobile number is blocked for verification. Does this on multiple devices with different numbers. Can’t set up the app, can’t set up the device, can’t subscribe to a plan or pay. Honestly thinking of returning the Inreach device I just bought. Can’t recommend this if it’s going to be so unreliable right in the beginning.
