Rubbish app! Cannot see anyway to message from phone app, and on my 265 the contact name took 10+ mins appear and no way to customise the quick replies. Keyboard on device is awful - my Pixel Watch had a smaller screen and full keyboard. Bizarre.
amazing
I don't get how this app has a 3.8 star rating when the majority of all recent reviews are 1 star. I was hoping to be able to finally enter custom messages on the fly from my Fenix 7X, but the app doesn't work properly. Garmin says you can send messages using your phone rather than requiring an inreach device, but there is no way to do that. All it does when you enter a phone number is to ask to invite others to 'the community' meaning they need to also install the messenger app also. ???
"Suspended inreach subscription support" Are you saying support for inreach subscriptions is suspended or are you saying support for suspended inreach subscriptions has been updated?
the system should be able to be connected for the first time without access to the phone network. in an emergency not all the original equipment and phones may be available.
Not compatible with mini1. It's nice of you garmin abandoning your older devices.
Garmin account system is barely working. It won't let you correct information once sent. If you delete the account, you can't make activation with a new one, bcs the previous (yet unfinished) attempt will still block the device making it INOPERATIVE! No access allowed whatsoever! Barely any support for inreach.
