Welcome to Sports Tracker

[Tomas5]

Before i had feeling that Suunto discourage users from using sports-tracker. What did changed? Is it now supported way to browse data from suunto app in sports-tracker website? Maybe some way of “cheap” alternative to movescount.

@Tomas5 it is its own app, mainly for Apple Watch users. Basically they can have a Suunto App equivalent, without buying a Suunto watch

@isazi I used to use Sports tracker with a cheap Mi band and continued using it with my apple watch until I switched to Suunto. Quick question: last year I paid for the sp.tr. pro coach add-on on sports tracker which is exactly what the Suunto coach is in the Suunto app. This is a feature which remains free when owning a Suunto, right?

I used to use Sport Tracker before I started using a Suunto watch and switched to the Suunto App. Currently, almost everything in Sport Tracker has to be paid for. I recommended my friend to switch to the Suunto App, even though he doesn’t own a Suunto watch. The account is the same.

[RaDeck]

@Pavlas makes sense. My guess though is that the coach only works with a Suunto watch paired / Apple watch can’t be paired on Suunto app

Sports Tracker is what made me come to Suunto with their ads
It was my first sports app on a Nokia with Symbian OS back in 2011

@RaDeck Yes, the coaching feature is a (free) part of the Suunto App. So if you own a Suunto watch you will get this automatically in the app without having paying for an add on.

[isazi]

@Pavlas they have to make some money somehow, if they don’t the app will close.

@tomasbartko Thanks for your confirmation mate!

[Pavlas]

@isazi Yeah, no problemo. But pretty much everything here is paid for. I’m surprised they don’t pay for activity.

By the way, as I was about to look for a similar thread, but ended up here. Is user data stored on a server somewhere? Will I have access to them for life? (Can I download this data and save it on my own hard drive?) And another thing: Is Suunto thinking of transferring its application to the PC as well? Route planning is so far much more comfortable on a larger screen and using the keyboard. From what I’ve tried, I could be wrong, Suunto hasn’t made a full tablet version yet, i.e. the phone version works, but you can see that the format is carried over from the phone screen.

@Ars-Vitae this is probably not the right place to discuss this, as you are talking about Suunto App and not Sports Tracker.

@Pavlas My daughter has an Apple Watch Ultra, I encouraged her to use the SportsTracker app. She has a subscription, which is not expensive and loves the app. I think a great way to encourage folks to use the ecosystem and then buy a Suunto. I now have her at least seeing the value of the Suunto watch. Not sure I can ever drag the AWU off her wrist though.

@Ars-Vitae Suunto desktop app is available on Mac

[Ars Vitae]

@Francesco-Pagano Thanks, I had no idea:)

[A Former User]

@Francesco-Pagano but only for M1 and newer, or?

[isazi]

@tomasbartko yes, only Apple ARM CPUs.

[A Former User]

@isazi it’s a pity, but thanks.

[isazi]

@tomasbartko it is the same app that runs on iOS, similar to how Windows can run the Android Suunto App

[A Former User]

@isazi Got it. Well I upgrade approx. once every 10 year. Now I need to wait 6 more years, 6 more years …
