Suunto app UX/UI survey 27 June 2019

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@TELE-HO the when I dont know for sure, unfortunately. There are too many factors that can change that. For example I had promised the 24/7 HR data on the IOS app 1.9.2

Apple denied the update and forced us to implement things no user ever requested (followers block, spam detection etc).
24/7 data team found a bug that would degrade the experience and we ve hidden those charts.

In short about 1.5months later we delivered a version that did not have 24/7 HR charts

What I can say though is once you get those surveys those features are planned most probably to come. When for each platfrom ? That even if I could answer it can change.

What I ll be doing is perhaps what I did with the 24/7 hr. Try to say that it’s implemented once I get it in the internal versions and let it be.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos “Apple denied the update and forced us to implement things no user ever requested”

Maybe with a web frontend such could have been prevented (sorry, could not resist)

done!

about heartmaps I have an idea: while navigating in the app the user has the possibility to search for a random route: “I want to run in this zone for 10 km a 500+” The app will search for routes and offer to the user

would be great!

I’m not an expert with programming at all, but I’ve heard that there’s a technology that you can setup a web page and it works for all… desktop, mobile browser etc… and then there is something that just looks like an app but in fact is a simple browser with only functions to operate the web page… maybe Dimitrios can name this kind of technology?
…but anyway I think Suunto is already quite far gone with the development of the new SA and they have decided to go a certain way and it is “too late” to turn around. I’m happy with what I have seen so far and what the future might bring

Survey done!!

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@johann-fuehrer well its not like that. Apple has no clue about what services we use its all about the app we use and submit to them

Saketo Nemo

Done. Always nice be part of there stuff. Hope will helps and that POI (with editable name, visible on watch) will have priority

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I can dig it! Never thought POI’s would excite me so much. I am digging the direction SA is going. Now if we could just take all that and wrap it in “Dark Mode” and I’m good!

JorgeFD

@TELE-HO I’ll take a look! Thx

@jorgefd78
just as an example… i would rather have something similar integrated in SA

Dušan Ković

Done! I haven’t used POIs that much, since SA didn’t showed them well. Just a question, during exercise and navigation is it possible to see nearby POIs on the main navigation window?

…because I don’t want to end up with 10 different 3rd party solutions

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

Komoot is great Gaia also

Bulkan

Done. Let’s give feedback people!

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@TELE-HO one app that does this exactly is FinalSurge FYI.

However, at this moment the tech is not ready to support all these BT syncs etc via a website inside the app. I agree its a good solution (knowing the technical side) but not ready yet for big companies.

There are also other solutions that are cross platform as well.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos somehow related: in the next MacOS “Catalina” iPhone app will run also on the desktop.

Q1: Will this be true for SA as well and will it scale to the display then?
Q2: Does/will SA scale on an iPad and use the whole resolution or does it just upscale?

Great mockups, let’s see we can see working

Dimitrios Kanellopoulos

@johann-fuehrer we are looking into this. I bet we will make it work as you said.

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos Related with @johann-fuehrer questions:

If I install iOS 13 will work suunto app?

The beta public is out and maybe I’ll give it a try.
