Also a syncing issue. None of these issues were experienced with the previous version of the app. I trust Garmin will sort it out ASAP -- Mopanerich, 2024-10-26 ### ***** "Reassuring" It would a so reassuring to know Garmin InReach is tracking me and people back home know where I a and can message me. We used it extensively on our trans Atlantic sail. -- Dimitri Dhuyvetter, 2024-09-05 ### **--- "Freezes Instinct 2" My Instinct 2 Solar Tactical freezes every time I try to sync with Garmin Explore via iPhone 13 Pro. Latest software on all devices. Have not been able to use app for anything. -- Kallieharie, 2023-07-18 ### *---- "App force closing" App is force closing on iOS 16.1 on iPhone 14 -- BloodCage, 2022-10-30 ### *---- "Doesn’t work" The app doesn’t work. When trying to log in I get an error with one option, to retry. I retry, infinity loop… -- __Cal__, 2021-12-10 [View all Garmin Explore™ reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://apptail.io/account/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Garmin Explore™ Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Free | South Africa | Navigation | #23 | | Top Free | Czechia | Navigation | #45 | | Top Free | Norway | Navigation | #46 | | Top Free | Switzerland | Navigation | #49 | | Top Free | Colombia | Navigation | #50 | | Top Free | Poland | Navigation | #51 | | Top Free | Chile | Navigation | #51 | | Top Free | Peru | Navigation | #52 | | Top Free | Ukraine | Navigation | #52 | | Top Free | Israel | Navigation | #53 | | Top Free | Belgium | Navigation | #56 | | Top Free | Argentina | Navigation | #61 | | Top Free | Canada | Navigation | #62 | | Top Free | New Zealand | Navigation | #62 | | Top Free | Australia | Navigation | #62 | | Top Free | Mexico | Navigation | #66 | | Top Free | Romania | Navigation | #66 | | Top Free | Singapore | Navigation | #69 | | Top Free | Austria | Navigation | #71 | | Top Free | Sweden | Navigation | #73 | | Top Free | Finland | Navigation | #73 | | Top Free | Taiwan | Navigation | #74 | | Top Free | Denmark | Navigation | #75 | | Top Free | United States | Navigation | #76 | | Top Free | Italy | Navigation | #77 | | Top Free | Malaysia | Navigation | #82 | | Top Free | Netherlands | Navigation | #83 | | Top Free | Belarus | Navigation | #84 | | Top Free | Pakistan | Navigation | #92 | | Top Free | South Korea | Navigation | #97 | | Top Free | Kuwait | Navigation | #98 | | Top Free | United Kingdom | Navigation | #98 | | Top Free | Germany | Navigation | #98 | | Top Free | Greece | Navigation | #100 | | Top Free | Russia | Navigation | #105 | | Top Free | Thailand | Navigation | #106 | | Top Free | Portugal | Navigation | #106 | | Top Free | France | Navigation | #107 | | Top Free | Indonesia | Navigation | #107 | | Top Free | United Arab Emirates | Navigation | #120 | | Top Free | Spain | Navigation | #122 | | Top Free | Hungary | Navigation | #127 | | Top Free | Kazakhstan | Navigation | #133 | | Top Free | Philippines | Navigation | #145 | | Top Free | Vietnam | Navigation | #157 | | Top Free | Ireland | Navigation | #171 | | Top Free | Brazil | Navigation | #175 | | Top Free | Algeria | Navigation | #181 | | Top Free | Egypt | Navigation | #197 | | Top Free | Japan | Navigation | #207 | | Top Free | Türkiye | Navigation | #234 | | Top Free | Hong Kong SAR China | Navigation | #250 | ## Garmin Explore™ Discovered Keywords -
