Helping me go back home with zero visibility!!! I admire this Garmin In reach, otherwise I'd be lost and found dead if it wasn't for this Garmin In reach that I have! Thanks to the developers who made this device that has helped me throughout my near-death experiences!!! Thank you and God Bless You all!!!

"Something went wrong because this app has a bug." What's going on? I've been using this in the field for 5 years with no issues, and this year has been a complete outlier. No more custom Preset messages?! Why are you punishing me?! What did I do?! I'm sorry!!

I have several waypoints loaded from the account on my device and computer. Wherever I try to connect to the in reach, it deletes everything!! How useless!! Can't sync the device with a Chromebook. When I do connect my phone and the in reach, it just sends me around in circles saying I need to connect to an account. I have logged in over and over again and nothing works.

I am trying to give Garmin $ and buy a plan for my in reach mini. The Garmin website instructs I must buy a plan from the app and the option is not present on the app. Overall the app is useless

Wouldn't sync my in reach, had to troubleshoot it on a desktop. In reach will get messages, and they won't show up on the app. Nice to text out on, but otherwise way too buggy to be reliable. Explorer+

But the App has some problems: First the dialog with the device, mini in Reach, had the problem that often the received messages are not transmitted to the mobile. Second, the download of maps is a nightmare! Almost impossible with a Wi-Fi connection not very fast. And even when fast it takes forever. Now, after twi days of attempts I did not can to download the "Base data" !!! Because I need to use the in Reach (I am sailing) I uninstalled and installed again the App ! A total nightmare ! In poss
