The idea and purpose of the app make sense. The device itself is ok. However a lot of problems with software starting with enabling device, pairing with phone, selecting and connecting and suspending to a service plan. Even payment was a pain. Awful app. Awful user experience. Explore map lags and often fails to show a track. The only thing which worked during my last 1000nm voyage was tracking and weather requests... Garmin, don't break my trust in you. Fix this.

got inreach to use for hunting, but it requires 2 separate garmin apps. it isn't user-friendly, and i wasn't able to text other inreach numbers. I'm currently wasting time trying to cancel my subscription until next year when I look forward to hours of figuring out how to turn it back on. dying alone on a mountain somewhere is starting to feel preferable.

The activation process of the inReach is very kludgy. Nowhere in the quick start guide nor in the process of setting up the app or device is it made clear that you have to subscribe in order to complete set up. While this may seem intuitive, there are devices that subscription is after syncing and linking. Another thing that may seem obvious for a satellite device is having to be outside to complete the process. For $500, the ux & process should be much, much easier. Now in value deficit.
