Please Note: Colors and Icons will be more vivid on AMOLED Devices. Please do not, leave a review saying the icons don't look good or as vivid as they do in the IQ Store Images. This App looks best on AMOLED devices, but is still decent on MIP devices. Please keep in mind, before downloading.
What's new
Please Note: That if you install the applcation, it may be listed as a new Activity and will need to be pinned to your favorite list, if you want it on your active list. While other devices it will be automatically added to the list, below your favorite activities. I've noted this difference on the Instinct 3 & Fenix 8 devices.
