Such a great app to keep your children accountable for chores but also to motivate them to exercise and be active. One of our family’s favorite.

Can no longer view tracking history

Since app update the button for viewing Location History is below the screen boundary making the feature inaccessible. I use this regularly for sorting out when my child’s bus will arrive. Plz fix!!

Wish we could do live calls

Overall great device. The GPS is unmatched and that’s the most important thing. Texting and voice memos are great but I wish we could do live calls

I just wish I had a call feature

Garmin hid the feature that costs $15/mo in an overnight update without telling. App still glitches.

The latest update is the worst. My main annoyance is at how Garmin absolutely butchered the only part of the app you pay for; LTE tracking. Before, you used to be able to go into “Location”, look at the bottom of the screen, see your child’s name, and tap a button next to your child’s name to livetrack them. To extend this feature (times out at 30 minutes), you (sometimes) would get a notice saying it was about to expire, and just tap to keep going. Or if you missed it, go back and hit “Live Track” again. Simple. Now, with the latest update, you have to go into the location screen and the old options/buttons are no longer there. The area where your child’s name/icon is, you can slide up but nothing appears. In order to use the livetrack feature with the new update, you have to click your child’s icon, wait for a menu, THEN there is a toggle button for live-tracking, nicely hidden. L You have to repeat this every time instead of one quick button. Garmin changed this overnight, told no one, and hid the most important feature. That feature is the only reason I pay $15 per month, and I had to call support just to find it. On top of that, chat is an absolute fail. To read or respond I to my child, I usually have to force quit the app, reopen, and then download their message. Most of the time, also when going to respond, the typing box is covered by the bottom of the screen (glitch) or the app freezes completely, and I have to force quit. The app was bad before, but at least tracking worked somewhat decently. Now it takes longer and is infuriating to use. Fix this. There’s zero reason an app I pay $15/month for should be this terrible.

Good
