SuuntoPlus Apps Development

I am sure @surfboomerang was not making fun of crashes, but of the disconnect that modern users have: most of us want to be in beta everything, use the latest bleeding edge technologies, and at the same time want stability and absolute dependability
If your watch crashes on production firmware with released S+ apps it’s Suunto’s fault, but if it crashes on beta software or with your own apps, you need to own the mistake.Yes, exactly this.

I could be wrong but it seems, from what I’ve read so far, that in this forum people who complain about the various problems do not have the right to be quite angry…
People have all the right to be angry on this forum (not that it helps though). Some people became offensive on a personal level however. That’s where the line is drawn.

Is there any update on this subject?
Something that can be revealed? -

Are there further plans on this topic? The selection of S+ apps is great but still limited. As a developer, I’d love to make my watch truly fit my needs, but to do this, I need a way to write software for it.
-
I wish we could fix software bugs as well. Especially the ones that transfers from one update to another

I’m an IT engineer and I have some ideas for some SUUNTO plus apps :
-
A triangulation application which shows me 3 COMPASS information = The direction of point I started from, the North Direction and the direction to one current POI. we do not need 3 directions but just 2 however there are just 2 POI which sure : the place from where we started and a POI which represent a visible point with this and a goniometer it will be super easy thanks to the watch to locate our current position on a paper map
-
A super BIG figure display much better as the one proposed with distance, duration or time as SUUNTO do not propose it

Hey @pavel-samokha, any news on this topic.
I love suunto and as a software engineer myself I would love to be able to contribute and experiment with my own suunto plus apps.
Regarding the risk aspect of it, I was thinking that in any case rolling back to factory settings would fix any problem on the watch and that we would be able to use a second development account if we don’t want to mess up with our main account while developing.

@ben_grossiord no specific news I can share or promise, but the topic is remembered and considered
-
i think, there are not so many different watch there.
Suunto could create them virtual - an you could do a first test in the virtual application - if ok, to a real device! -
When I was buying my first sports watch, the ability to develop apps (with Ambit3) was a deal breaker for me back then. I probably would have gone with Suunto anyway, but the possibility of app development made it a no-brainer for me. I really hope this is revived in some form or another. I would certainly pay for the option as well.
-
Pls bring SuuntoPlud to RUN / newer OS, currently it just barebone watch. It would be wonderful to extend library of functionality to your most affordable watch.
-
@false For this you’d need to be hired by Suunto
-
@cheetah694 I will do my best guys!

API for App development would be an awesome feature. For example, found Tennis score app, but it’s useless for actual game (scoring system is wrong). Can’t contact devs directly, can’t fix it myself. Some sort of github with open source and community help would solve the problem and would not hurt stability.
System level access to developers is risky, but for simple apps with open source - I see no harm.Such customization would greatly improve trust in a company and add actually useful stuff for all of the users.
-
Is there any progress (or anything happening at all) regarding open source / 3rd party app development for suunto+? I’ve seen some community developed apps in the Suunto+ store. Is this simply that an individual can apply to the Suunto partner program with a developed app so that others can use it?
Asking because I would like to have something where I can read glucose data on my watch instead of hauling my phone everywhere in my hand

Hello
I’ve made my own crossfit setup of exercices for my own need.And i’d like to add a kind off guided list to my crossfit sport …
On the suunto + app there is a similar app to select, but none of the exercices that I want to do are present. inside.
I’d like to make a similar one extendable, or take the already existing one and extend it.
maybe with vibration marker after defined time for each exercices…The other point I would like to have for an other type of sport to add to the chronometer function the ability to select a time in which the watch will broom or bip after reaching it, and count further. and give additionally the exceeded time that we spend for it.
Ideally would be fine if it’s already in the suunto software. but would be ok if we could use an SDK tool to create it by our own…

Shortly i’ve spoken with someone of the suunto support team.
I asked to having access on a suunto app sdk to produce my own app because I’ve observed that their are some suunto community apps.
I had for asnwer that they don’t have it and don’t give it.
And should ask to the community about how they do this.Then I asked for the information about which community, and who from the community to contact.
And he told me that I should ask by mayself to the community those question. They don’t know anything about.I’m really surprise that they take over some software part from a third developper group and don’t know what it do and have no info and no contact.
That’s for me unbelievable and a nonsense.Do someone know here, who from developper community develop some app and how?

@2b2bff Hi thanks for the post.
ouaw there is lots to read.
I’ve fly over the topic and saw that’s the guy develop an app, use an sdk…
didn’t find how & with what, but interesting…
I’ll spend more time to find something about my questions, and try to contact the guy.Did you see or understand what i’ve not seen?
or could you short short resume on how with what and how, if other people are active or interested on develop suunto third parts?
thank you very much for giving the link
-
@cemoi71 I guess there is nothing in there besides the disussion of the developed app. But maybe he tells you more about the how when you contact him directly?
