@isazi why can’t we see intervals in the app only 1km/5km/10km splits - this seems a very basic function to have.
-
@loopylou72 I have no idea, you should ask Suunto
But I do see the intervals on SA (Android). Are you maybe on iOS?
-
do you sync with SA or from movescount to Sport tracker to SA?

My intervals on showing on SA iOS at least all of the manual ones, I have not used the interval function in awhile.

On the 26th of January, I had to switch to Suunto App from MovesCount per the Digital Services mandate
I have nothing against Suunto App despite reading all the negative comments since the announcement of the death of Movescount.
And generally, I have nothing against new technologies, assuming of course, it’s for more features, faster workflow…etc
What bothers me since I switched to it is the time it takes to synchronize my watch! The day I switched to Suunto App, it took literally 2h to synchronize 64 activities!
Before that, using the good ole’ cable and SuuntoLink, it would have taken no more than 5 minutes!!!
Again, I don’t mind switching to a new system but if it’s to lose features or in this case make the synchronization slow, thanks… but no thanks!?
here is an example: I just synchronized my watch today: 8 activities, all of them being a gzip file, when one reads the BlueTooth specs, it should be fast right ?
It took 12 mins!!!
Maybe it’s my phone ? Maybe it’s normal ?
Any one experiences this too ? What is the purpose of not being able to use the cable and Suunto Link ? Why can’t we choose ?Another question: Why do I HAVE to turn on my GPS phone when synchronizing my S9 ? What does it bring to the whole process !??!?!Does Suunto really need to know where I am to download files from my watch ?
One last question: Before I migrated from Movescount, I had deleted all my 4000+ activities as I had already backed them up on a local drive.
So I only had one activity that remained.
Yet, when I started the migration, Suunto was able to migrate all those supposedly deleted activities and resuscitated them to my Suunto App. Is that normal ? Does that mean if we delete an activity from the Suunto App, the same behavior will happen and Suunto still keeps my data somewhere ?*All of your 4,149 exercises were successfully imported to Suunto app.
We look forward to more adventures together!*

May be it is written somewhere in the forum … I would prefer the sync of SA to Google Fit. It is missing among all the connections listed in the app. Some health insurances give credits to Google Fit users for steps, heart rate and calories. All these data are available in SA. Why not sync it to Google Fit? It is no problem with the S7. I just returned a refurbished Suunto 5 due to the missing Google Fit sync.

@frederic as for keeping a phone turned on: I don’t have to actually. It syncs automatically after each activity if my phone is nearby so I don’t have to worry about long syncing times, but I haven’t tried to sync more than 1-2 activities at once. You may be experiencing this behavior because of battery saving features on your phone.
-
@дима-мельниченко me too. Phone’s usually at home, activity is synced when I get back and are getting my shoes off.
-
@frederic
I’ve had a similar experience, three days ago The app decided to make a sync of all the activities on the watch, around 55, and it tooks more than an hour.
I always sync the new activities just after I get back home so the watch (A3P) only had 1 new one.
Yesterday also started with the same thing showing "“Synchronisation of 1/56"” but fortunately only synced the new one.
PS
(I only connect the app to the watch for the time I need for synchronization) -

Hmmm… I dont think that works for me, is that something you have to configure ?

Oh… that could be… I’ll try! thanks

@frederic I have an S9, not A3P but my watch only syncs after activity or when SA is opened. I think however to get a smoother experience with step/calories count one can disable battery optimisation for SA in the phone settings, then the watch will sync automatically in some time intervals. But I personally am ok with the way it’s done with battery optimisation. So you may be affected by the same thing, but your phone has a bit stricter battery optimisation.
Sure, keep us posted! -
@дима-мельниченко I checked but the battery optimization is not on.

Hello, I think suunto app is good app. It stable and easy to use. I don’t see any important drawbacks, except of this few missing features.
-
ability to crop recorded activity in suunto app. (For example when i forget to stop activity after hiking i need to crop out ride by car)
-
ability to change privacy of all activities at once, now i can only change one by one
-
In sports mode editing, be able to change order of already created displays
-
Add multiple Graph displays in one sport mode (as movescount allowed)
-
-
@pavel-samokha don’t know, this thread is related to experience with app so it sounds legit. And it is possible that is just my missunderstanding, not some bug. I thought that i have all activities with same privacy settings but obviously i was mistaken. But if someone esle think that this is bug, i can create separate thread.
-
@tomas5 I moved your posts already. I think it might be more helpful to have the topic focused on your question. Could be something that needs changing too.

@Matt_from_Suunto this app gives completely contradictory information on the same screen. After a month using it I can say it is neither internally consistent nor does it match my results. It compares my current performance to a past that does not exist. It says I have made great efforts during a day yet I literally just got out of bed. One second it recommends recovery the next minute it says I haven’t worked as hard and I’m losing fitness. Basically it random or worse than random

@wheeler
I have a similar observation and I am reporting this to the developers.
the coach is relatively new and in my personal opinion there’s room for improvement.
the values I am looking at for the moment are CTL, ATL and HRV only. I see the rest, but I do not “listen” to it.
I am sure there will be improvements in the future -
@freeheeler I also find coach data/recomendations funny, not in sync with actual training. Please report also sleep start time. For me, it shows avg start time 22:34 when I rarely go to sleep after 22:00. Not sure where it gets this data, maybe it’s just a placeholder?
