Garmin Smartphone Link App Reviews

This application really looks out dated. They updated some icons and thats it. Come on...

Pls rever to 2.1.3 !!!!!!!!

Once my Garmin starts up, it connects for a short time and then suddenly disconnects. It then never connects again until i shut down and start up my gps. Manitoba also has alot of constructions happening where ever you turn and the smartlink doesnt have that on its live traffic reports except one out of a billion in the city.

Update: After latest update now Bluetooth connects but app cant connect to services. ****** Perhaps if you bought a $100 GPS you can justify the $28 traffic plan, then the photo live plan etc etc. But the 3 plans to complete the traffic view is too expensive after I just spent $500 on a nuviCam. Then theres the issue that Bluetooth keeps dropping connection from my latest iPhone to the latest nuviCam model. Good idea for this app, why not cripple the included traffic plan that comes with most Garmin GPS traffic receiver purchases then suggest to owners that they need to spend a minimum of another $30 and own a smartphone to get more accurate traffic data. Wait, Waze is free and proven to be more accurate. Hint, hint.

Was working fine till latest update. Now cant connect via Bluetooth

Maybe they updated it to work better, or its a test for newbs or astroturfers, but it works fine on my iPhone 5s and NuviCam. It is made mainly to access advanced, paid, traffic and weather services, which you may not need, but it also works with find my parking space on your phone. RTFM

Would be so much better if it had a better search engine. Cant find any location that is searched. Should be more then just nearby searches...

This app will work great for a while until an update comes along and then it stops working. During those versions that it works its awesome. Invaluable. However, most of the time it doesnt work and it takes Garmin a long time to fix it. Its currently not working. Deeply frustrating.

This app doesnt provide correct traffic info. No proper traffic jam info prediction. Im getting stuck in traffic on daily basis and app says no trafic ahead.

The previous version was buggy, feature thin, and unstable. This new version had added a complete lack of connection with Zumo 595 to the list of deficiencies. Oh dear. If the old version works for you avoid this one until it gets fixed.

I have problems with follow-me after the new update.

Dont need to judge how was this app any more. They cant even write a proper update note. Fix you typo before fix any bugs!

Awesome app! But would love some more updates!

Why would anyone even need this app? It gives you nothing! I even need to pay for traffic update, which is already included with my devices. The user interface of the app is horrible to say the least. Thank God theres Here Wego offline map or Google map.

This app does not connect automatically when I power on my nuvi 3597 or NuviCam anymore. I have to start the app manually to connect it with my gps devices.

Will only connect to my Zumo 590 about a quarter of the time after Zumo powers up. I have had a number of Garmin products with poor results. Support from Garmin is zero.

Used to connect to my Nuvi without manually opening the App every time I get into the truck. Wake up Garmin

My Dezl 770 has a difficult time downloading any IOS services onto itself. The Bluetooth connection for the phone works flawlessly but not for any IOS Services. It is hit and miss. Sometimes it works, and other times it does not. I must point out that the Smart Link app itself downloads feeds onto the app without problems, but for some reason this data is not received by my GPS most of the time. It seems like that there is a Bluetooth data connection problem.

I downloaded this app and to my disappointment it must constantly draw cellular date rather than only when app is used. I like to manage my cellular data and dont appreciate an app that requires constant cellular data use. It would be different if I used the Garmin 24 7 but I may use the Garmin several hours in a week at most. This is an easy fix that Garmin should move on

I kindly inform you , I am your member with above my mail address to your web page since long time garmin user. So I have Bmw Navigator V gps with 3.40 software and 2017.30 Europe map , smartlink 2.3.0 (1410) version on my IPhone 7 10.2 (14c92) version According above technical information my navigator V requested to buy traffic member display on the screen after all are garmin application updated.
