Suunto Plus apps

herlas

Tested today the S+ app manual intervals - cycling power with Stryd and some power-based intervals.
Gotta say the screens (intervals and rest) are very good and helpful, the counter at the top is great as well. Overall I liked it.
Couple of things to report.

before starting the first interval, there was this screen a bit misleading, as all was working.

first time I noticed S+ app info can be added as a data field to the share photo option, this is pretty cool, the only issue I see in this case, once I added one field, the font is pretty small and cannot be changed, it’s hard to read, see below, hopefully this can be fixed in future SA but very nice addition Thx

Spotted following bug in Weather Suunto Plus app.
This at top right is splitted in two lines.
Used on Suunto Vertical Ti.
Don’t remember if it was the case with S9PP

@v-sacre already reported, thanks.

Hit black screen issue on Last KM S+ app for the first time today, this was on my SV, tried removing it and added it back mid run but it didn’t work. Had previously heard from a friend he hit same on S9, so issue seems to be with the app itself. Known issue?

Edit:
First KM worked fine, displaying the rolling km Avg in orange color, then after that value disappeared.

Double checked with my friend, also first km was fine, and in his case then, the screen was all black nothing displayed at all after the first KM.

Hasn’t reproduced to him ever since though.

@herlas known yes, the bug seems to be in the app itself.

herlas

@isazi Thx, as per my friend, issue started for him after the watch displayed an app notification, this broke the S+ last km for him (full dark screen)

In my case I’m not sure about the trigger, I’ve used multiple times this S+ on S9PP without issues.

On today’s run, I had two S+ enabled and voice feedback enabled too.

Will keep testing to see if I can find any pattern.

Two new apps today on the store

@herlas I tried quickly. My note disappeared few seconds after writing them. Need to try again *Race companion S+

el2thek

@herlas Not compatible with my 9B.

isazi

@herlas interesting, I thought they would end up in testing before being published to the Store

taziden

RaceCompanion doesn’t seem functional at the moment, at least for me. No way to edit the notes. All the fields are grey.
Anyway, allowing user inputs within S+ apps is a great addition. It opens many new doors.

I’ve noticed also that we can report apps now (inappropriate, issues, duplicate, etc). That’s great!

isazi

@taziden I asked, maybe it was a mistake that they were published to users already. Race Companion does not work for me either.

@taziden to get them working an SA update is needed. As you may guess, these will come.

@isazi the issue with last KM S+ is reproducible on SV using it together with audio feedback. Not sure who the developer of this S+ app is but can we share this ? Also once S+ apps are updated say for bug fixing, how can we know? Thx

isazi

@herlas so if you enable last km and audio feedback the screen is black?

herlas

@isazi not all black, but we loose the two data points as shown in my photo above ( avg km pace & avg HR). This happens after the first KM is completed.

Egika

@herlas yes, this one is known!
Thx!

herlas

@Egika Thx for confirming, any idea on my other question? When S+ get an update, how can we tell?

Egika

@herlas at the bottom of the S+ information there is information on when the app has been updated the last time.
Like “Burner” for example was updated on May 25.

herlas

@Egika Thx, didn’t notice it. Last KM shows 5/24/23 7 pm, will test this again after I see a new timestamp, thx again
