Due to Garmin discontinuing Connect IQ support for some of their most popular devices, we can help provide users of these devices with an alternate method of finding and side loading Connect IQ Apps, Data Fields and Widgets.

Create a forum post below using the Subject "Request: " followed by the name of the App, Data Field or Widget desired, and provide your device model and a link to the Connect IQ Store page for the requested App, Data Field or Widget in the message body.
