Comments on Garmin Alpha for Android

★★★★★ Michael Petersen (Big Boy) · Sep 27, 2026

The best for deer tracking and keep up with your dog. Uwharrie GSP. Check us out

★★★★☆ Dale Vincent · Oct 13, 2025

Quite good. Screen turns off if not navigating to waypoint. Would be 5 stars if Android Auto compatible

★★★★☆ John Griffiths · Jan 13, 2026

App has satellited imagery again. Now it can actually be useful in tracking our dogs. When the satellite imagery was not available, it was useless. I am glad Garmin got that solved. There is room for improvement, but so far, except for the satellite imagery glitch, the app has been stable.

★★★★★ Theo Lincke · Nov 27, 2023

Love it - integrates with my alpha really well :)

★★☆☆☆ Gabrielle Krause · Feb 17, 2026

I'm seeing others are having problems with android syncing properly, and you above being to update the LTE Collar. That's what I can't seem to do. The app isn't pairing with the collar, so how am I supposed to update the collar?

★★☆☆☆ Mitten's Woodworks & Milling (Ryan Mitten) · Dec 6, 2025

Dogs show up in my alpha but won't show up in app. Device shows that it is always trying to sync and never does. Great app when it works.

★☆☆☆☆ Todd Harsh · Aug 14, 2025

It is constantly closing while trying to download maps. Got it to connect to my alpha, but it won't work with it. Major problems. Do better. We pay so much for your products, we expect stuff to work properly edit: still junk. Map is a fraction better. It is still not even close to what the explore app was. How can there be such a difference?

★☆☆☆☆ Cody Webster · Mar 8, 2025

Seems like the app just keeps getting worse. Now doesn't work with device in landscape orientation. For the price of the garmin products, the support system should be much better. Garmin is more concerned with selling new model products than making the current products work.
