Description

Stay in touch with friends and family. Enjoy the security and connectivity of global messaging with the Garmin Messenger™ app. Pair with your compatible inReach® satellite communicator for fast, easy direct messaging and interactive SOS that’s not limited to cellphone coverage areas (active satellite subscription required). The app supports group messaging as well as photo and voice messaging when paired with a compatible Garmin device. Automatic switching between internet, cellular, and satellite networks gives you the best connectivity and efficiency for all your messaging. When you have connectivity, the app will work seamlessly even if your inReach device is turned off. Invite your friends and family to download the app to stay connected and keep the conversation going on and off the trail. Note: Some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit the use of satellite communication devices. It is the responsibility of the user to know and follow all applicable laws in the jurisdictions where the device is intended to be used. See compatible devices here: garmin.com/p/893837#devices

  • Really struggles with contacts

    Your options for syncing contact via the app are either all of them, including ones you don’t want on your inReach, with no ability to remove them on the device, or none being synced and you need to add each one manually. It should not be this complicated.

    Occasionally a message actually comes through 8 + hours later. Can’t give it a zero rating.
  • App not able to activate

    For over two hours the app unsuccessfully tried activating. I’m not sure if it is the app that isn’t working or the inreach messenger device. Another user’s phone app and separate device had no issues activating so I’m not sure what’s wrong on my end. Update: It finally activated a day or two later on its own but I’m now trying to change the subscription plan and I keep getting the message “Plan change failed” through the app and the subscription portal.

    Used to be an easy to use app, now seems more focused on accessing my contacts and most frustrating is that it simply will not connect with the app even though the inreach and my phone both show paired. Very disappointed in the updated app.
