Garmin Alpha

They have broken the app for me. It now shows where my alpha is on app. Does not show any of the 5 dog collars any more. I know where the remote is it is on me! Where are my dogs?? Please fix the ap!!

The Garmin Explorer apps lets you display tracks which helps to show unmarked trails or other map functions. The explore app also USED to let you track your dogs from the compatible Alpha tracking box. Why this app was ever created in the first place I’ll never know. A great app (the old explore app) lost part of its functionally to make the Garmin Alpha app. Now you have two apps both with partial functionality when the original explore app used to do everything the alpha app does and more. If I could give this Zero stars I would as it has no purpose. Now that the new version of explore was released my alpha box will pair with either the alpha app - or all of Garmin’s other apps (Tread, Explore, Messenger). The only one however that you can track on - is the Alpha app. Horrible update and app from Garmin’s app development team and as always they like to drop a new version mid hunting season that doesn’t work

Need option to save tracks on map. Not limit to minutes or hours. You have this on Explore

I can tell where my dog is on the map. That’s awesome and all I really need. None of the hunt features or track recording seems to work. All distances and metrics are very wrong

Map only has the option for north always up needs a option for arrow always pointing up and map to spin the way your driving like the handheld drive track and tread. Would make this app 5 star

I have had a 200i for a while and was prompted to update to the Alpha ap in my phone instead of using Explore. Significant let down. Sync takes forever, you can do folders and collections in order to play back handler and dog at the same time. Nothing shows up in the map from saved tracks. It’s awful. Expecting to revert back to the Explore ap shortly unless all if that functionality is pulled into the Alpha.

Maps are not current, device (Alpha LTE) constantly and continuously disconnects from app. App itself is not user friendly. Shame on Garmin- such a good brand, but tremendously lacking in this dept

Please add yards as an option

I bought a alpha 200i as well as a collar.. after spending $1000, I’ve realized you don’t always get what you pay for. The alpha hand held constantly crashes and turns off. It isn’t reliable. This app does not work at all either.

I would give a zero if I could. This app has a hard time even pairing with my Alpha 300i. When it finally does pair it won’t sync. Pretty useless. I’ve tried Garmin explore the same thing.
