Garmin Jr.™ Pros

✓ Issue with tap challenge - vivofit jr.My son has a vivofit jr. I saw an update for the app last night (version 2.6) and updated the app. The update mentioned a new tap challenge when you’ve earned your 60 minute activity goal. This included a picture of what I believe the tap challenge looks like. Thanks My son came home and we synced his vívofit Jr. to the app on my phone. It showed that he had earned the 60 minute goal and could make his move on the adventure trail. He made his move, but then we couldn’t figure out how to get to the tap challenge that was highlighted in this update. I tried looking for help on the website, but was unable to find anything on how to get to the tap challenge once the 60 minute activity goal has been met. I chatted online with two different support center chat agents. Nether of them could help me because neither of them had heard of this tap challenge. Clearly I’m missing something or they highlighted a new feature in the app that they didn’t actually add to the app. Other than this issue, my son loves loves loves his vivofit jr. He asked for it for Christmas and we were a little hesitant (thinking why does a 6 year old need to count his steps- he’s a super active kid). But it’s so much more than just a step counter. We love it!.Apple05Version: 2.6

✗ Great watch, frustrating appWe love the watch! But I have a huge issue with the app. When a notification comes through, I just get a generic “Garmin Jr” notification, and when I open up the app there’s NOTHING to indicate what I’m being notified about! Did my kid send me a message? Did her location change? Did she check off some of her chores? Literally the only way to figure it out is to click on everything in the app until you find the new bit of info. There’s no little red number or flag to let you know what to look at, so you just to click around until you figure it out! It is u believably frustrating, especially for an app that we use primarily as a safety tool for our child! Please, please, PLEASE make it clear what the notifications are actually FOR. Aside from this very very big concern, I have no complaints. But this one is huge..BookishchickVersion: 6.1

✗ Either app or watch isn’t fit for purposeIt is not possible to set the time or date on the watch, despite multiple successful pairings of other information. The date and time on the phone are correct. The watch has been paired and unpaired several times and the app uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Nothing works and the watch can’t be reset, I just get a blue triangle when trying to reset. I replaced the battery, so low battery is not the issue. I don’t know if the watch is substandard, or this app is at fault, but either way it doesn’t achieve what is advertised..Steve_gdVersion: 4.3
