Does not stay synced to device
PrettyCountryGirl30
The Garmin Connect app refuses to remain synced with my Vivoactive 3 - in order to sync I have to forget my watch through Bluetooth and then pair again. I’ve also had to uninstall the app completely and reinstall, going through all the setup steps to get the app and watch to sync. This happens when there is more than 8 hours between not opening the app and hitting the sync wheel. The app is left running in the background per Garmin’s suggestions on the help forum, but does not help. Not only is this extremely frustrating, it definitely makes me want to look into other multi sport trackers. I’m running the app on an iPhone 7s fully updated to 13.3. Devs, please fix this issue! I know I’m not the only one!

Ever since the last update, it hasn’t tracked sleep well. You guys are cheating, asking me my “average sleep times.” I work nights 3 days awake. I do not have the luxury of average sleep times. Now, no matter what I am doing, it logs my sleep from midnight to 4 am. Even if it is my day off, and I am clear sleeping to 10am. Until this update, your sleep tracker actually worked. I hate the new way of i putting the weight. And I have to shut the entire app down and restart it to talk to my watch. Huge steps back.
Ready to login over and over?

If so, then this is the app for you. Once a week or so, this app will happily forget you, forcing you to login and initialize your setup and device again. It’s fun! Give it a try!
Needed to reinstall to sync

I was getting a Bluetooth error that Bluetooth needed to be turned on but it was. I deleted that app and reinstalled and the Vivosmart HR is working fine. Being paired to my iPhone, I get email and SMS alerts and the device and Garmin Connect are fully synced.
Totally unreliabie!

I’ve had this watch and used the app since June of 2019. In December the app started having major bugs. It completely logs my out of the app and makes me resync it as if it’s the first time I’ve ever used it ever time I try and activate it again! Today alone, I have been forced to re-sync my watch to the app 3 times and it is NOT a quick process ... it’s such a pain and hassle! Not something I want to worry about right before I’m about to go for a run! ? I will likely get rid of both my Garmin watches and go back to my Apple Watch because this app is too much of a pain! I’ve had to resync it at least 20 times since December! Fix the bug Garmin or I’m tossing this watch on Feb 1!

After last update I have problems to sync devices with garmin connect almost every day. Very annoying and time consuming to do the sync
Signs me out, clunky sync

Every couple of weeks you sign me out and lose my password. Also you don’t do a good job of auto-syncing: 1. My calendar with my watch. Not immediate, seamless or intuitive. 2. The time when I change time zones.
Bluetooth doesn’t work

Says “bluetooth is off” when trying to connect my device, when it’s clearly on.

I absolutely love it. I love the detail in the app and how much I’ve learned from this.

There is absolutely zero reason why this should be a 400 MB app. So many other apps that are far more sophisticated and less than half the size.
