Phone app allows to choose sorting method on watch app. For example: the last used cards are shown at start.
Mobcards supports both 1D and 2D barcodes like QR or AZTEC. The app supports touch screens and watches with only hardware buttons.
PLEASE NOTE:
1. Due to limited size of watch display, very long barcodes are not sent to watch app. They wouldn’t be enough readable by scanners.
2. [Bluetooth channel] To connect phone app and watch app make sure your watch is paired and connected to your phone. You can check connection state in Garmin Connect application. If you have connection problems, go to Mobcards settings on your phone and enable option ‘Show Garmin IQ messages’. It can help to find a problem. VERY IMPORTANT: Sometimes connection watch-phone is not stable or even not available. We recommend then to restart watch or phone for a moment. It restarts Garmin communication engine or use delivery channel via Internet.
3. [Internet channel] In this mode you don't need to wait for finding Garmin watch. Just select cards and click Send. NOTE: the mobile app don't know your watch screen size.
It uses default value (240). Open settings on mobile app and select correct screen size for your Garmin watch. Watches with a bigger display can show more complex barcodes.
If your Garmin watch is not supported let us know. We will add it at next upgrade.
If you like Mobcards on your watch please support developer work and extend to premium license. Free license limits number of cards to use.
