Perfectly fills the gap on my vivoactive 3.

I do not do very many tris or duathlons anymore, so the last time I needed a new Garmin I went with the VivoActive 4 which does not have native multisport support. So I searched the Connect IQ store for an app that I could use for the occasional tri/duo that I might do. This app fit the bill. I found it to be fairly intuitive and somewhat flexible. I say somewhat just because I have not yet figured out how to customize it, if it is capable. I have found out how to switch between triathlon mode and duathlon mode, but haven't been able to find out how to change the default activities within say the duathlon mode. It seems to assume a run, bike, run event, which is by far the normal duathlon events and order, but I have also done Run, Bike, Run, Bike, Run events. I am not saying that this doesn't support it, but if it does I haven't figured out how to configure it that way. I do like how it allows you to customize how the activities are recorded. I have only tried the Activity recording, which as you would assume records each activity (including transition) as separate activities (The runs are recorded as activity type Running, the biking is recorded as activity type Biking, and transitions are recorded as activity type Other with a description which includes Transition). There are also options to chose Full Recording and Pause Recording. I have not used those so I cannot really comment on those other than to say they exist. The only thing I find not to be intuitive is getting to the setup menu, which on the VivoActive 4 you get to by pressing and holding the bottom button (return button) for two seconds and then you can page through the menus. So my wish list for improvements would a simple Readme type manual with device specific instructions and the support for changing activities within a MultiSport type, but overall I am very happy with the app.

Hello, I have a Garmin Forerunner 245 Music and tried several times setting "Activity Recording" Option for triathlon. The Summary screen always showed the correct times for the 3 activites and the 2 transitions. The Swimming and Cycling activities were recorded & sent to Garmin Connect perfectly fine. But the third activity, which should show up as "Running" shows up instead on GC as "Transition", and shows really the Time of the last Transition between Cycling and Running, and not the running activity itself. This happened several times Can you please help to solve this issue?

Very poor graphical interface! Also not using the usual keys to do usual things. Also, and more basic, you cannot create your own discipline, e.g. bike-swim-bike etc. If you use triathlon for example, why not use the build in triathlon app that works perfectly?
