Importing contacts
Unable to import contacts, pretty useless app. Needs more work
Stuck at Verify Phone Number
As others have stated the app gets stuck at the verify your phone number screen. No matter what you do or what number you use you will never get the verification code rendering the application totally unusable. This has put me off buying a Mini 2
Idiots
What is the point of a $300 device if it’s blocked by a useless app that won’t let you use the device. This is absolutely unacceptable for a company the size of Garmin. Pull your fingers out
App wont let you get past the verify your number page
Cant get past the ‘verify your number’ page - just keep getting a ‘Something went wrong.Try again later’. Ive been trying for days, different phone numbers, different number formats but can’t get past this page and therefore can’t access the App. No reply from Garmin either and their help page is fairly useless too. All in all unable to use.
Stuck at verify phone number
However many times I enter my UK phone number I can’t get past the verify phone number screen. It just keeps saying something went wrong.
Perfect works great on mini 2
Update: Still can’t get around this verify your number issue. No developer response either.
Update: Suddenly there is a ‘verify your mobile number’ in the app. I don’t to use my mobile number and you can’t get rid of it!
After seeing the 1 star reviews I was a bit iffy but the app is great! Works great! Looks great! Easy to use and understand 10/10. Actually a really good product from Garmin. It makes using the Mini 2 a breeze now. Well done.
Junk
No idea what this app is supposed to do? Doesn’t link with my 66!. No instructions. Binned don’t bother
Mini
Bad. Stuck and I can not get it to work
Useless
This app does absolutely nothing… I thought I would be able to respond to iMessages on my EPIX watch… nope… I see no reason to even keep this app.
