Review summary

Users praise excellent telemetry, easy run comparisons, phone access to sessions, and measurable lap-time improvements. Repeated complaints are missing in-app video playback, reduced analytics compared with the device, poor multi-driver/profile management (and no logout), and limited or cumbersome social/leaderboard features.

Pros

High-quality, detailed telemetry and session data for driver analysis
Easy to compare runs graphically and compare with friends
Mobile access to sessions and quick syncing — fast and easy to use on the phone
Helps improve lap times and driver performance (digital coaching/insights)

Cons

Cannot view or download lap video inside the app (no in-app video playback)
App lacks many advanced analytics/recordings available on the device (missing optimal-lap and deeper metrics)
Poor multi-driver/profile handling and no logout — sessions can be misattributed and creates a security concern
Social/leaderboard features are limited or awkward (adding friends, private leaderboards, and friend data sharing are missing or complicated)

2024-09-14	Je*****	Great app but ... Would like to see the ability for added friends to review my data even if they haven't had their catylist tablet around this particular track. And I'd like to see their data if I haven't been to that track. This way we could review and discuss the tracks. Adding friends is a bit more complicated than it should be as well.

2024-03-06	Re*****	All the cool stuff is missing. The app should have the same analytics and recordings as the device but it barely has anything. Why can't I download videos on the same wifi? Why can't I watch the optimal lap? :(

2023-09-21	Ro*****	First time I have used the Garmin Catalyst. Very impressed with the amount and quality of the data. And it's great to be able to sync to this app and access critical data from my phone. Love it, it has already helped me to improve my lap times. Would be nice if I could access the video on this app too.
