To use an Inreach Mini you have 2 have this app & Explore.This app is SUPPOSED 2 sync with Explore 2 be able 2 make & view routes. Unfortunately it seems a common issue,this app will NOT sync properly or consistently and so u cannot view routes or track routes on the mini or the earthmate app.Also messages r not sending.I have done all the recommended troubleshooting & still nothing.The only thing left is to try and manually sync with a computer. Not gonna do that.Spent $300 & it won't work.

Garmin, up your game. This is the glitchiest app on my phone. I'd love to use the maps feature- but due to the app being so poor I only use it for inreach and weather. Considering alot of people use inreach for safety and communication when in potentially dangerous situations I think it's ridiculous that they should have to use such a poor app. Seems to be getting worse year by year too.

Very bad design. I only use it for InReach messages. It sometimes work, sometimes not, without any kind of error message. I believe the app expects the phone to be *constantly* connected to the device, in order for messages to be delivered to the phone: If you are temporarily disconnected at the moment the message is received, then you will not see it on your phone. What a weird way to design a messaging app. Pro tip: You can force a resync by unpairing and pairing again.
