Good app but dated UI/UX
The Garmin Connect app is excellent in terms of data and metrics, I cannot see how it can be improved there but, unfortunately in terms of UI/UX it leaves a lot to be desired. The UI is heavy and dated compared to other vendors’ apps who have switched to more modern, lighter, fresher and minimalist designs. In terms of UX it is also lagging behind with it feeling sluggish and far less intuitive than competitors. The lack of a light theme is quite evident and way overdue in this day and age. The choice of colours in certain areas of the app are also quite poor in terms of contrast. Given a proper UI/UX overhaul this app could be unrivalled but, at this point in time the only thing which keeps me loyal to Garmin is only the quality of the watches themselves otherwise considering the lack of attention the app has been getting, I would have switched to another vendor.
