Top Pcmac Reviews

Needs to check for messages more frequently

By tannon689 (Pcmac user)

I have loved the Garmin inReach. My work is primarily out of cell service and so I use it to keep in touch with work and my wife. The only thing that I want improved is the frequency that it checks for messages without having to manually check for them. My suggestion would be to either have it check every five minutes or allow the user to set a timer in the app or on the device to send out a manual check for messages at specified intervals. I would love to be able to set my inReach up to check for messages every 5 minutes or while hunting set it up to check every 30 minutes. Long story short I think it would be a huge improvement to allow the user to specify the frequency of how often it checks for new messages.
Garmin abuses your content

By Pw henderson (Pcmac user)

Even though we pay Garmin for the service, Garmin now requires full rights to use/sell your content ... “8.3 Content License from You. You agree ... that inReach has no responsibility to you or to any third-party for ... any content that you create, transmit or display on or through the inReach websites ... Content which you submit, post or display ... you give inReach a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any such Content. Furthermore, you agree ... for inReach to make such Content available to other companies” Also, one our Inreach devices were stolen. I asked Garmin to let me know when the new party registered the stolen unit. I was told the only thing they would do is block activation but only as long as I paid to keep it registered with them. This adds value to people stealing units and makes Garmin complicit in the thefts. Unfortunate, I used speak highly of the service. Shopping other companies now. And no way to stop emails from Garmin asking you repeatedly, for access to our Facebook.
Nice redesign

By longlinr (Pcmac user)

New Dark mode seems half done. Can’t see text white on white when I type. Hopefully they do a proper dark mode. Still the easiest way to stay in touch. I have been using the inreach with an external antenna attached. Near real-time texting. Amazing and great to stay in touch while in the middle of the gulf of Alaska. Really liking the new look on the iPhone X. By far the easiest way to stay in touch when there is no cell phone service. It would be great to have a dark theme as well. I love the InReach and the ability to easily stay in touch with my family while away from home. One thing I wish the app did is remember when I edit which icons are accessible. It always seems to rest to the default layout. Please fix. It’s annoying to have to rearrange every time I open the app. I believe it happens when my phone looses Bluetooth connection.
Absolute JUNK

By KidRichmond (Pcmac user)

How many of these supposed companies are going to phone it in when it comes to app development. You know the whole point of having an app that works with an inreach device is to simplify and make it easier, not more complicated. The text box for the messenger section is white, the font is white too! Which means, can’t see what you’re typing. It’s also super buggy and doesn’t connect half the time and likes to send messages to the wrong contact. Yup, completely shot messages to a different contact than the one selected. There’s a reason apps like these have low ratings, because these developers don’t know what they’re doing yet still have a job.
