        1. It syncs with my watch reliably (although I’d prefer an option to sync only on demand and not run in the background).

        2. Route editor is fairly good for a mobile application running on a small phone screen.

        3. Sorry, can’t think of any other positives. I’d 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 that’s not the question)

                  Route planning by far the coolest thing!

                            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 issue…).
                            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)

                              • User profile map: see all my workouts all around the world (now it is not working, but I love it)

                                • 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.

                                  Mobile route planner, although it still lacks few important features, but I hope suunto will improve it. Still I’ll 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 isn’t great compared to the desktop version, but a lot better than anything I’ve seen from other mobile apps. For example, route planning on Garmin Connect mobile app is just horrible in comparison - completely unusable.

                                    Still, I don’t 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.

                                        • 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 it’s there), I don’t use it a lot, only in the emergency but it does work, it’s in the app, that’s 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 it’s a part of description )
                                        • Custom sports modes, easy and quick setup, syncs quickly (although, why not add the ability to name them, what are “Other” 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 don’t have a feeling I fight the app when using it.
                                        • Uploading photos and videos into the recorded sport. I know it’s more a social media thing but I have a different use for it. That’s 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 don’t 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.
