Comments on Garmin Messenger™ for Android

★★★★☆ absolute Not providing · Mar 1, 2026
Garmin correctes this overnight. Updating to 4 stars Latest version broken. Device shows as not paired in app, but it is (per device and also Garmin Explore app). Not a rebooting issue, etc. Just broken. Needs a fix ASAP.
★★★★★ Mark · Mar 15, 2026
Communications during sparse or no cell coverage hiking remote parks is crucial. This app fills that need with communication and Georgia location!
★★★★★ Alaina T · Sep 11, 2025
This worked great! My son went on a week-long dirt motorcycle trip in the deep woods of the Washington Cascades with no reception. We were able to communicate and track him just as easily as texting your phone with GPS coordinates. It gave us all a huge sense of security knowing we could find him if something happened.
★★★★★ Speedo Bulto · Oct 12, 2025
Fixing the spyware issue in my devices. GARMIN AND FITBIT HAVE AMAZING SPYWARE ON THE APP STORE.
★★★★☆ Haresh Zeeman · Mar 31, 2026
Weird but seems to work - Device pairing, subscription purchase and device activation all worked fine for me (in Reach mini 2). What was slightly bizarre was that after pairing the mini 2, I had to manually turn on the connection to my phone in the device settings in order to activate the device. Will update my review after use in the mountains :).
★☆☆☆☆ Magen Deans · Dec 30, 2025
Buggy and not user-friendly at all. Garmin can't even be bothered to offer a user manual for the app. Won't send imported Contacts to my Garmin GPS despite being Bluetooth connected, I had to wait for imported contacts to sync with the Garmin website from my phone and then use Garmin Express to sync my Contacts from the website to my Garmin GPS. Ridiculous. Be warned that you can't pay for In Reach subscription on Garmin's website, you must use this fantastic app. FAIL.
★☆☆☆☆ Johannes Jobst · Feb 26, 2026
The update this morning broke my in reach messenger Bluetooth pairing to my phone. In contrary to others I liked the app, but now it's broken. Constantly come up with pair your device even Bluetooth says it's paired. I paired through the app. Android. I hope they fix the bug today
