SMS (Connect IQ)

As of 2017, the app works flawlessly. Don't let the bad reviews scare you away, those are all from old versions of the app. Totally worth the dollar.

Been in contact with developer about issues... Now fixed and awesome app and well worth the 1.00. Works great with Garmin and LG v20

A space bar would be ok? As it is you can't use a space between words. why?

It works well with my Garmin active watch and Samsung S6.

I've a S6 edge and it works well with my Vivoactive HR

Has been great but looks like the last update to GCM (3.10) today has stopped it working. I keep getting a message 'unfortunately, SMS(Connect IQ) has stopped. Prior to today an excellent app. Galaxy S5 Android 5.0 - now sorted out with an app update. Very quick response from the author. Upgraded to 5 stars 'does what it says on the box' (Fenix 3)

This app has never worked for me using a vivo active hr and a HTC m9. My other apps work fine. I let the developer know and he fixed the issues and made the app even better by adding a keyboard!! Great Job!!!

This app used to work with my Vivoactive but now it won't connect at all. I've reinstalled the watch app, phone app, and Connect app. I've pushed the 2 restart buttons, toggled Bluetooth, etc. Please help!

great app! It would be even better if you could do the same thing with Google Hangouts! is it possible? Thanks!

Worked briefly now won't connect tried all the options suggested. Waste of money!

I've tried all trouble shooting methods suggested and nothing worked!

Edit: After installing latest version this app works beautifully... Should have been a prerequisite for the watch by Garmin.

Cannot get passed the request for removing screen overlay. Phone does not allow this to be switched off as the app is requesting on first load. Can't use app. How can this be resolved without effecting normal function of phone?

Tried everything suggested, have the very latest versions of both apps but it does nothing just comes up with the 'IQ' icon on the watch with an exclamation mark in a yellow circle.

Dont pay for this it tells you that it is installed and it is not. Total waste of money im requesting a refund as there is no app.

Very short text SMS... Edited for an answer: Only 20 charakters. Edit 21.10.2016: Still only 20 charakters.

New update 2.8 just messed up this app. I tried every possible troubleshooting from instruction and still won't connect. Please fix this ASAP. Thank you! UPDATE: Thank you for the quick update 2.9, the app is working as intended with less troubleshooting.

When an update broke the app the dev fixed and updated it promptly and responded in a timely manner to my emails. Very happy with the functionality and the dev. Thanks mate!

Took a while but it finally works. Thanks!!!!

Does what it says. Quick response to implement a suggestion.

Haven't been able to pair my device successfully. Could you just make a youtube video showing step by step how to link your garmin device to your phone? My vivoactive keeps saying "Waiting for Android App Connection" and its beyond me why it won't connect.

Works as advertised! Really good app. The only limitation is the watch not the app. Keep on improving it. ANY PLANS FOR A SLIDER KEYBOARD, instead of just 1 letter at a time style? Good job dev!

One improvement suggestion: please add a space bar in the create your message thing and maybe where you can select some symbols on the app to choose from on the watch. numbers would be good aswell.

3* Because it does work (good job dev). Problem is you have to go into IQ connect to use. In your reply you mentioned that you can't use arrows. Well there are other widgets that once selected the up/down arrows work for navigation, is this method not possible? Also should have same contacts for call field (or at leat 3 and recent) along with at least another page (4 more) of text templates. I paid and will keep app but would totally pay more for the above features.

It works as advertised. Don't stop improving it. I use it with my Sony Xperia Z3 and my Fenix 3 HR. Only one issue with the watch version. Because this is an app, I cannot access it whilst another activity is turned on so if I am running I would need to stop and save the current activity to access this app. This is less than desirable and it defeats its purpose to me. Do you have any plans to have it as a widget or add it to the hot keys list? Thank you

Will re rate 5 stars when you get rid of the permanent white circle at the top of my phone when the app is on. I cannot get rid of it.

App enables texts sent through Garmin Vivoactive. Exactly what I was looking for. Question: Cannot find a way to choose favorite contact to enable one-touch texting! Help!

Text scrolling text entry is a bit of a chore. Could you add 0-9 at least?

The app just stops when I try to open it, using V10

It's works! Which is great. I just wish there was another option for the letter layout. A t9 option(on the watch) would be cool and super user friendly.

Tried all the troubleshooting methods recommend, and none worked. Nexus 6p/ Vivoactive v4.2

Worked until latest garmin update. Until then could never reply but could send a new message but now can't even send a new message. Can only see messages. Checked all connectors and given all permissions. Please fix for garmin vivoactive hr

My watch only showing IQ

Won't connect my Vivoactive HR to my Motorola Droid Turbo.

So far I am still 5esting seems to be working

Cool I can finally txt from my vivoactive, NOT. The txt interface and templates are hard and troublesome to use. The templates should have a confirm selection when I touch it or enlarge when touched to show the selected txt.vi have large hands it's not easy. And the txt mode is slow and in need of refining. To compare to the LG Urban txt interface would make this look like a disaster of a sms. I love the LG design, if you could make it similar, I would feel better about the $1 it cost me.

How do you select the letters you want to type, it just keeps scrolling. Figured it out, is there a delete function?

It works really well. Just need to be able to type numbers.

FENIX 3 with Samsung Note 4 - Works perfectly!

Good app
