River People brings paddling recording and companion controls to compatible Garmin watches. Choose supported local watch recording or control your connected phone session. See recording state, elapsed time, distance, and available speed; pause, resume, finish, and review saved runs. Retry a run transfer and complete review in the River People phone app. The phone app provides river discovery, maps, planning, account access, and your full paddle log. Garmin support depends on the listed compatible device and the companion connection. Keep River People on your phone and watch updated together. GPS and activity data depend on device permissions and available sensors. Sync recordings before uninstalling the app or replacing devices.

Version 2.3.1 fixes an IQ! crash when opening River People on a connected Garmin watch, including Venu 3. It improves compatibility with phone status messages while preserving recording, recovery, saved runs, and synchronization.
