Connect IQ™ Store

A good idea badly executed While it functions adequately there are some issues that prevent it from being a great solution for finding watch faces and/or apps for your Garmin watch. Connectivity is bad for me when running from the regular Connect app. There is no way to filter predict actual usability for lower budget models for faces or cost. A lack of tags also means you search for random words within the description, which can result in a lot of bloat and missing out on useful faces or apps

The availability of apps is growing, which is definitely a plus. What the store lacks is user friendliness. It's somewhat cumbersome to search for apps for a specific device or even from a specific developer. Moreover, I quite dislike the fact that there is no search option to only look for free apps, or apps up to a certain price point. In general, I guess what it comes down to is navigation through the app. This most definitely needs some touching up!

DO NOT UPDATE: Latest updates managed to break compatibility with Android 10 or lower: The save button doesn't work. One can not save any config settings for face watch apps or music apps. Quick Google shows that Android 11 users can't reproduce the issue. The issue is described on Garmin forums since March 2022.
