ConnectStats - 8.0.2

Warning: Due to an API change, the current version of the app does not display any existing history of activities for Garmin. It only downloads activities done after the initial installation. However, the issue is being worked on. In the meantime, you can use Strava in addition to Garmin to view some history.
