Garmin Connect Frustrations

Is anyone else having no success getting Garmin Connect to sync steps to mfp and calories consumed to sync to Garmin Connect? I've tried everything - wondering if it's a glitch between the two apps or if it's my device. Garmin Connect syncs perfectly to my Weight Watcher app.

    My steps don't always sync right away. Sometimes it takes a few hours. I haven't had the same experience with calories. Overall, Garmin needs to get with the program and fix all the other glitches people are complaining about too.

    Bought a Garmin got it home and then found out it isn't compatible with my tablet, taking it back tomorrow for a refund. Oh well I'll just continue using my pedometer.

    Gamin connect says it's connected to MFP but MFP doesn't say it's connected to connect. Nothing syncing either way!

    I hadn't noticed anything--seems OK. Is it just the steps?

    For me, MFP syncs to Garmin Connect for calories consumed (MFP food log), but Garmin Connect doesn't sync steps to MFP.

    My fitbit did this flawlessly, but the fitbit had other issues syncing to my verizon phone.

    lol, technology.

    Have you had a look at the Garmin sync FAQ?

    If that doesn't answer your question, consider submitting a support ticket so staff can try to help.
