## Garmin Messenger™ Description
Stay in touch with friends and family. Enjoy the security and connectivity of global messaging with the Garmin Messenger™ app. Pair with your compatible inReach® satellite communicator for fast, easy direct messaging and interactive SOS that’s not limited to cellphone coverage areas (active satellite subscription required). The app supports group messaging as well as photo and voice messaging when paired with a compatible Garmin device (1). Automatic switching between internet, cellular, and satellite networks gives you the best connectivity and efficiency for all your messaging. When you have connectivity, the app will work seamlessly even if your inReach device is turned off. Invite your friends and family to download the app to stay connected and keep the conversation going on and off the trail. With the use of the LiveTrack™ feature, loved ones can follow your location in real time (2) and see data such as distance, time and elevation.

## Garmin Messenger™ Reviews in United States

### ***** "Awesome"
I really like this app
-- Knenemeka, 2024-12-30

### *---- "Doesn’t work"
I am now convinced not to use this device for rescue. Certainly not bulletproof.
-- Geefivefivezeropilot, 2024-12-25

### ***** "Excellent App!"
I love the app, and the ability to be able to respond and receive messages on my watch. I would like to see the ability to delete text threads on the watch in a future update. Also, a swipe keyboard to make typing faster on my watch.
-- Tybak4, 2024-12-18

### **--- "Really struggles with contacts"
Your options for syncing contact via the app are either all of them, including ones you don’t want on your inReach, with no ability to remove them on the device, or none being synced and you need to add each one manually. It should not be this complicated.
-- cummings.logan42, 2024-12-06

### *---- "Not as good as earth mate"
Why did you take away my ability to de where I am?
-- Danny smash, 2024-11-29

### *---- "It won’t connect !!!"
What the heck !!! Now the app can’t even find it to try to reconnect it !!!
-- NathanisMyName!, 2024-11-26

### *---- "So so"
So so
-- alberto elizondo, 2024-11-16

### **--- "New user"
Hard to sync mini and activate.
-- uhfdyinhon, 2024-11-10

### *---- "Unreliable"
Occasionally a message actually comes through 8 + hours later. 
Can’t give it a zero rating.
-- SirBigRed, 2024-11-02

### *---- "App not able to activate"
For over two hours the app unsuccessfully tried activating. I’m not sure if it is the app that isn’t working or the inreach messenger device. Another user’s phone app and separate device had no issues activating so I’m not sure what’s wrong on my end.
Update: It finally activated a day or two later on its own but I’m now trying to change the subscription plan and I keep getting the message “Plan change failed” through the app and the subscription portal.
