Garmin Smartphone Link App Reviews

iOS 9 !

Doesnt work with iOS 9. Please update app. Thanks

Why?

Garmin.. I may like your products but your software is terrible! This is unusable on ios9. There has been betas for over 8 months for you to test!!!!

Connection with Garmin Navugator V, BMW motorcycles

This app is horrible..... It does not stay connected and once it connect, for 2 minutes, you cant even use the voice recognition. On top of that I BOTH ALL add on (traffic, weather, camera) and NONE work..... VERY BAD APP!!!! Im still trying to get money back from Apple..... DO NOT DOWLOAD OR BUY......

Old and behind the times

This app is primarily designed as a one stop location to purchase at a premium and view the information thats widely free to the public or available free from other apps. Such as Waze, TW Network, Yelp, YP, etc

Good, but erratic

The live traffic is much more detailed than the standard traffic that is available on my Garmin GPS. Its probably about as good as the HD Traffic that is not available in Canada. Unfortunately, it does not always pair automatically with my iPhone. I frequently have to open the Smartphone app before it will link to the GPS. Except for the weather, the rest of the program is of little value.

Great app and a lot of room for improvement

Whats great, Can answer calls from the GPS device. Can make calls from the GPS device. Can browse the recent calls and contacts from the GPS device. Room for improvement, Have to connect the Bluetooth every time. It would have been better if the device automatically connect to the iPhone (if Bluetooth is on on the iPhone) as you get in to the car rather than going into the settings can find the GPS device to connect. Four square locations or locations can not be sent to the GPS device. The option is available but does not work.

Smartlink App

Needs more sort options on the saved addresses list, and the ability to search over a larger area would help (for folks living in the USA). The backdrop map could be improved (zoom control, road names dont always appear)

Expensive for what it does

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.

Wont connect

Ever since upgrading to the iPhone 6s and no longer works cant even pair with my GPS now

Smart link

It used to be able to send address from the phone to the gps Now it does a 20 mile radius from where you are so much for putting in your destination for going on a trip So much for the smart link Thanks garmin

Latest update (2.1) crashes on ios 7

Had to remove the latest update since it crashes every time when starting. Rolling back to stable v2.01.

not useful as it is

the app requires location services to be turned on otherwise it will not function, at all. location services can drain your battery rather quickly. there is no basic feature of sending an address to the gps unit to be looked up. you would think there would be a basic textarea field where i can paste an address to be sent to the gps. the app can only lookup addresses for contacts.

Crashes on opening

Newest update crashes. Needed to install old version.

Will not stay connected

I feel ripped off because I paid for weather and traffic services for my Garmin GPS, but the app will not remain connected to the GPS unit. What a scam.
