Hi, this app is very promising but some things can be improved. First of all, in a cloudy day, when the GPS signal is lost, the app stops measuring the distance and there is no GPS reconnect to start again when signal becomes available. Also, there are no options regarding the GPS tracking method, for example, to use Glonass or galileo for additional accuracy. Lastly, autolock can be annoying from time to time with no option to disable it. A vivoactive 4 user. Thanks

At first I think this apps very poor as it detects less distance eventho i swam more than 1km in open water. But that time when i still using breaststroke style. I’ve improved my swimming to freestyle and since then the distance became more accurate.

I have used this app now for over 6 months and it is perfect! Tracks all the swim information you need accurately. Will continue to use happily.

Great open water swim app Much better than 'other ' mode on Garmin forerunner. Have accurate GPS and plot and good face options. Have used in pool no as accurate as swim mode from Garmin.

I regularly go swimming at an indoor pool and although the description says it is more of an app for open water swimming, this app is excellent to help me keep track of my laps. Very helpful how the screen auto locks which is very important. Would definitely recommend this app. Only thing I wish this app had was tracking for kick and I know it would be hard to put this in the app but this is the only thing I would love. Thank you for the app :)

Is exactly what I am looking for in a swimming app. Only problem I have encountered is sometime the watch loses my location before getting it again further down the swim. Sometimes has a hard time connecting to the GPS but that could just be my watch. Highly recommend!

Seems to work well on my distance swims accurate and displays all Info I need

I have been looking for an app to track swimming and snorkeling at the beach that is able to track heart rate as well as the swimming features. This app looks great and it does show my HR when I start it up on my fenix 5, however, the moment I start a recording, HR jumps to 0 bpm and remains there for the duration of the recording (whether in or out of the water)... :-(

Gps works well but has to be set before you get to the beach because it seems to need to connect to the phone to start GPS services. We mostly snorkle so it reord time and distance but does not recognise that I am swimmig

I LOVE this app for my Vivoactive 3, once you get the hang of it and understand the distance discrepancies it’s fantastic. Lately I have had issues with the lock screen not unlocking, then the app seeming to quit. After this happened a couple times, it appeared that it was still running, still recording in the background. The only way to disengage it seems to be to start another activity. You don’t have to save the new activity, just get it active and then quit it. Only after doing this does the swim appear in the history and upload to Garmin.

This app is hit and miss. I had a few swims where it tracked quite well but most of the time it is off the mark for distance.

Love the open water swim app. It has been a game changer. So great to have heart rate whilst swimming. Some tips: The app has a lock screen option but I then lock my screen on the Garmin watch face as well as the app. Just doing it through the app has led to some malfunction. Also pay attention to the developers comments regarding Garmin’s adjustment (re: addition) to distance.

5 star for the development of the app, it's very professional and it would be the most useful sport app.of Garmin IQ. Unfortunately accuracy for my Vivoactive 3 is low, the distance was 1.6km for a 1.0 km test swim. However it's a great work for a free app, thanks to the developer. If you want better results you should buy a native sport watch for open water swim...

It works rather fine on my 245, accuracy is better than what I expected to be. I put the screen with distance and hr and here I go. To sum up a no nonsense app for those of us that don't have a native openwater profile. Bravo !

Very unreliable app for open water swim. Not sure what and how it measures.

Does not keep track of true distance, misses more than 50%. So in the end not that useful unfortunately.

Very unreliable as an open water swim app. Doesn’t measure accurately at all. Very frustrating

Quirky and unpredictable. Sometimes it works but usually not. No use as a training tool.

App comoda e intuitiva. dato GPS abbastanza preciso, purtroppo misurazione battito cardiaco spesso sballata (a volte in concomitanza con aggiornamento software del Garmin).

Looks nice but the gps is completely erratic so it doesn't track swims properly. My last swim was two lengths of 200m along the shore of a lake, measured on land. It revised 688m of swim with my path swimming 5-10m through the bank and bank again. Completely useless and when I contacted the developer to ask how to fix this he didn't reply

On vivoactive 3, the distance calculations are way off which makes the app kinda useless. Sometimes it seems to be okay, but then out of a hidden it just measures an unbelievably short distance which is a nonsense. It's unpredictable. What a shame, because the data fields would be informative.

Tha layout and data fields are nice, unfortunately the GPS tracking is way off, and as such renders all the other data useless. I tried the app on three separate open water swims at the same lake, on all three the distance was off by 1000’s Yard’s/meters. Currently installed on a forerunner 645 music.

The amount of information provided is good and the final upload works well to the app. Tracking activity is currently way off though, with much of my open water laps being lost (lake swim), leaving final distance and times inaccurate and unreliable.

This is a relatively simplistically designed app which do more-less okeyish job to track your swimming in open water, including a sea. Unfortunately, the app is still buggy. For example, my last sea swimming was apparently 2,570 m (in reality about 300 m), at an average speed of 100 km/h, and a max speed of 40.4 km/h (this unphysical nonsense is seriously troubling me as a physicist). However, the values reported from the app itself look correct (distance 330 m, speed 1.02 m/s, that's me).
