You know it will never go as you would ⌠donât you ?

It syncs with my watch reliably (although Iâd prefer an option to sync only on demand and not run in the background).
-
Route editor is fairly good for a mobile application running on a small phone screen.
-
Sorry, canât think of any other positives. Iâd rather continue to use MC web for anything beyond the two features above plus some quick configuration tasks.

-
Would say background sync. Love that the exercise is already there when I pick up my phone.
-
- offline sync
- route planning
- sync on the go
- heart rate zones
the map view with alti, HR and speed graph is better than I thought by the first sight.
the app in general is pretty useful
(even I miss a stack of things and some things I would do different, but thatâs not the question) -
- Clean and smooth interface
- Reliable sync and notifications
- Activity summaries
- Activity comparison
- Frequent app updates
- Route planning
- Heatmaps
- Sport mode customization (altough a lot can be improved on this point)
-
- Heatmaps by any kind of sport. Nobody have this.
- Clean UX.
- Offline sync.
- Reports by month, week, year very easy.
- The autocomplete comments when I do intervals.
- Social but not oriented to.
- Route planing, I use it so much that I need a way to sort off or filter.
- Report by intervals and autolap.
- Epoc.
- Native support of power in running.
-
Route planning by far the coolest thing!
-
Route planning, fast sync, powerful search activities, sports mode custom and the general look and feel
-
@jean-william-cousin sport mode customization is pretty slick!
-
Funny how a while ago a lot of people claimed that route planning on a mobile screen was impossible and now i see a lot of positive votes
-
- Clean interface;
- Route planning;
- Laps info;
- Sync.

@surfboomerang
it works surprisingly well⌠but in my first steps testing the routeplanning I had to undo sometimes as I was lazy zooming in and out and picked the wrong trail (also because of the trail/road issueâŚ).
I would not want to miss the mobile routeplanning, as it is really really useful on the go. however, when I am at a desktop, routeplanning could be done a lot easier and quicker.
(sorry, dimitrios, to mention this here again) -
Hi
- White theme
- Background sync: really works well
- Route planner
- Sports Customization
- 3rd Party synchronization (Runalyze, Training PeaksâŚ)
- âDay viewâ day steps + calories + sleep ( could be absolute fantastic if there where sleep trend)
- User profile map: see all my workouts all around the world (now it is not working, but I love it)
BR
- White theme
-
- Reliable background sync
- Fast sync compared to MC App and roughly on par with cable sync
Nothing else I really enjoy or like about it, all negatives from here on and this is not the place for it.
SSU + Android beta app just for reference purposes.

Mobile route planner, although it still lacks few important features, but I hope suunto will improve it. Still Iâll probably use it with my a3p (when and if SA supports my watch) only if I have no access to my pc. Taking a wrong path can put you in real danger in mountains in my country. We still have mine fields unfortunately.

It isnât great compared to the desktop version, but a lot better than anything Iâve seen from other mobile apps. For example, route planning on Garmin Connect mobile app is just horrible in comparison - completely unusable.
Still, I donât use SA route planner for my watch because that would disable MC sync. It is quite bad that we have a dilemma - either use some features from from SA or some other features from MC, but not both at the same time.
-
- Fast sync
- Interval lap view
- fast sync to Strava (yes !), Runalyze
- Route planner (love to have it working offline)
- Sport modes customization.
-
- Reliable and fast sync (instant, in the background, all synced before I even get my post-workout coffee!)
- Route planner (like but not love, could be better but nice itâs there), I donât use it a lot, only in the emergency but it does work, itâs in the app, thatâs a good thing.
- Summaries with filtering. I use it a lot and I like I can filter out workouts based on the description (for example, I can check how many times I visited a particular climbing gym this year as itâs a part of description )
- Custom sports modes, easy and quick setup, syncs quickly (although, why not add the ability to name them, what are âOtherâ modes? )
- Upload of GPX routes, With apps like Komoot or AllTrails I can export GPX files and instantly get them on the watch (with Movescount that one thing was a bit of a chore without access to the PC)
- Clear and readable interface, easy to use. I donât have a feeling I fight the app when using it.
- Uploading photos and videos into the recorded sport. I know itâs more a social media thing but I have a different use for it. Thatâs in fact became useful in rock climbing when I wanted to add more details about routes and problems I have climbed. Especially, if I take on the competition walls (would be nice to have a timeline so I could see when exactly I took a photo or shoot video, this would be useful with outdoor climbing so I can pinpoint the crags in space)
To be honest, as the owner of SSSWHRBaro, I donât have connectivity and syncing problems. All works quick and out of the box and the app development gained quite a steady pace, not much to complain assuming waiting patiently for things to roll out. It always could be more (POIs) but I believe things will eventually happen.

The summaries with filter are so good!
