    Comments from SA Android + SSU + Stryd user:

    • heatmaps are good for stalking local people’s route choices and finding potential running routes when traveling
    • route planning helps with estimating workout duration and length when venturing into new places
    • workout data summaries and views give me good visibility into what I’ve been doing
    • searches and filters do help me find workouts I’ve done in the past when adding future workouts to calendar
    • it’s handy to get automatic description for workouts done in interval mode
    • quick and reliable sync of workout data from watch to phone
    • Sport mode customization is useful once you understand how it works and have used your watch and SA for a while to know what you want to see during workout
    • clutter-free and responsive user interface
    • shows running power data for workouts - yay

      In Rank Order for iOS

      1. Drawing routes and synchronization of routes
      2. Import gpx and synchronize routes
      3. Offline syncing of exercises.
      4. Heatmaps
        Really tough to order the above 4 as all are critical!
      5. Watch customization.
      6. Stats…all day, all week, all month, all year by sport
      7. Ease of forgetting and adding watches (would rather have multiple but at least it is easy).
      8. Notifications

        I love about SA that it is still improved by Suunto and that we can contribute… and this forum to give us an easy way to vote for requirements and place feedback 👍
        …and exchange experience!

        …and the fact that there’s the chance to have more graphics (progression curves and values on long press?), improved yearly comparisons, icons of sport modes to filter, summary and sort by alti values… and better ambit integration… 😀 👌

          1. Reliable background sync.
          2. Sync to other services.
          3. Goal setting.

            The best regarding the Suunto App is @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos

            …and syncing to other services. That‘s all I need from the app.

            Route planning is nice as long as you follow the trails/paths/roads.

              The interface - both in watch and the app. This is, in fact, main thing that got me to buy Suunto 5 as I was comparing it to Garmin and Polar watches that have route navigation and wasn’t satisfied with what I’ve seen. Being a graphic designer I’m also happy to see that so many users in this thread are also pointing out that the interface is great.

              Route planning experience - this works really well and I believe that having this feature in mobile app and not online is a big plus. Yes - I haven’t had a chance to experience Movescount so I can’t compare it but being able to create a route while being on holiday somewhere foreign and unprepared (ie. having done no scouting before the trip) is great as I don’t have to carry a laptop with me. The route creation experience, heatmaps and instant synchronization are a big deal and I really love it. I’m missing POIs though. I have a friend who owns Fenix and route planning compared to Suunto is bonkers (upload gpx file to watch via cable).

              Instant synchronization - I had TomTom before and synchronizing workouts was a bit of a ritual, especially in more modern Android versions (8+). The screen couldn’t go to sleep and in certain stubborn occasions I had to clean the cache to let it continue. Also, the sync took minutes to complete. With Suunto it’s instant. So you’ve just run a marathon? Ok, here’s it synced in no time - to Suunto App, Strava, Endomondo and Relieve.

              Watch customization - While I believe it’s better to have it done via mobile app instead of watch itself, the user experience might be better: I’d like to see a “demo” being played constantly in the app while creating a sports profile (watch face). Also, lists are fine if there aren’t too many elements in them to choose from. Currently the list is absurdly long and there are no shortcuts to certain categories or icons for quick navigation. Nevertheless, it’s still easier and faster to create watch faces in the app than in the watch itself (also, compared to Fenix, for example).

                Watch customization is much better on Movescount web, even when running in mobile browser. Too bad Suunto didn’t reuse some of the old design ideas such as categorization of fields, which makes field selection very quick.

                  @silentvoyager that’s why I believe that the interface and the user experience in regards to workout watchface configuration could be improved. However, it’s still far better and faster in my opinion than having to click bulky buttons on the watch itself in order to configure the screens.

                    I really disliked the popup window with the different pages… it was tidy but still not so easy to setup…
                    I like the number field and the scroll down menus…
                    even better would be selecting favourite values and the drag and drop…
                    hmm… I’m placing suggestions offtopic again 🙄

                      Lets stick to the subject people. Consider this as a survey.

                        what about creating bundles of features in SA that we can rate? or is this not part of your idea?

                          @TELE-HO this one is not exactly my idea.

                          I got asked to report what people like about the app.

                          I could have gone on and collected any single post , but rather I preferred to activily ask you guys.

                              That is maybe true if you count just the forum users. I think this forum represents maybe 5% of SA users. 🙄

                                          It’s improved greatly in the past 10 months. Features have been added to improve data analysis. Don’t really have any problems with what is in the app and nothing should be removed. I have problems with what is not in the app.
