I think you should. Also, consider that with OTA updates, you’re probably among a very very few number people who have downgraded. I beg it’s under 0,01% of users.
If I was a dev myself I would not try to test all old versions of my app but be sure that it works on every latest release.

@Miroslava wow thanks for your reply. Okay i think i give them a chance

Miroslava

@GiPFELKiND yes try it. I was frustreted too. But now i test in 15m pool several times and really all lenghs is good

GiPFELKiND

@Miroslava okay. Hope it works

@GiPFELKiND thank you for all the effort.

That’s exactly what I’ve been trying. The only difference is that in the last step, when I try to “track” the app (and portal,) shows “device not found”…

@GiPFELKiND update. I’ve tried again and now it is working! Other than that, media controls don’t work when using the live tracking. Without live tracking on the media controls work aside from the volume knob.

Как поделиться треком понять не смог. Специально пока не смотрел видео.

Главный вопрос: Какой смысл так усложнять процесс, если при можно транслировать свою точку через андроид или через whatsapp? Наличие сети же обязательно

Hello, first of all, thank you for the application. I and some friends have been waiting for live tracking for a long time. I have the Suunto 9 Baro Titanium, but I can’t get the w atch to live. Can anyone help me and solve this problem? Thank you.

@fabio-titonunes suunto 9 Baro didnt use Suunto+ Store Apps AFAIK

@Nikolai-Simonov hey, i couldnt set a phone number for emergency. Had installed the APK Version. There isnt permission for this. Your country is not supported is the Message here… What iam doing wrong? Screenshot_2025-07-20-16-15-27-367_one.athletica.live.jpg

SuperFlo75

@GiPFELKiND same problem here

GiPFELKiND

@SuperFlo75 you too? Can you add emergency contact?

SuperFlo75

@GiPFELKiND I cannot add a emergency contact in the app… the same problem you posted with your screenshot… I‘m wondering what will happen when I press the emergency button in the watch app?

GiPFELKiND

@SuperFlo75 you will call me

SuperFlo75

@GiPFELKiND Nice! I love this feature 🤩

I use this feature sometimes since its launch.
Very nice that it uses watch GPS, it saves the phone one and battery of the phone on this regard. But, at least to me (Samsung S20) the app on the phone is depleting the battery way too much .
Which is not usable for any real “emergency” tracking.
It will surely come, but the combo phone app/watch, should be custimizable to only send data every xx seconds / minutes (if it is the only main battery consumption).
But @Nikolai-Simonov, well done .

for real emergency you need a device that doesn’t rely on the mobile network, like a Garmin InReach that uses the Iridium satellite constellation, it is able to connect from everywhere in the world, in the middle of an ocean, the Sahara or even the Antarctica

Hi everyone!
It’s been a while since my last post, so I wanted to share what I’m currently working on.

Along side to supporting gpx routes, I’ve been testing a concept I’ve temporarily called checkpoints.
Basically, it’s a geofence + trigger.

Right now, I have two types of triggers implemented:

Geofence entry trigger - fires when you cross into a predefined zone.
ETA trigger - monitors if you reach the zone by a scheduled time, and if not, it can send a signal that you didn’t make it to the checkpoint on time.

At this time.
You can set checkpoints directly on the map (TestFlight users may have already seen this feature in ui).

Geofence entry trigger is working.
Currently testing via local notifications.
There is a short demo video showing how it might look in the future.

So if you have any additional ideas please don’t hestitate share to me!
