It’s been a while since the last public release… and finally apple approved the v1.0.17 (google is still reviewing as usual)
This is probably one of the biggest updates so far.
So, most of you probably already tried that new features in testFlight, btw I want to highlight some of them (smth like release notes):
Updated home screen
The main page is now card-based, and cards can be rearranged however you like.
Better UI performance overall
Previously there were noticeable frame drops while moving around the map. Now it much smoother.
Groups are now integrated directly into the home screen
You can access group invite links right from the main page.
Group members are now visible on the map in real time.
Added PTT (Push-To-Talk) inside groups (Experimental feature)
Basically a walkie-talkie mode between members of an active group.
Added automation providers:
n8n, Zapier and Make (you know, if you know)
Currently available as community nodes or private integrations.
They can work with checkpoints, session events, and even Suunto workouts. I’ll probably make a separate detailed post about this later. probably.
Sensor Forwarding support (Experimental feature)
The app can now be used not only for geo tracking, but also as a sensor forwarding bridge.
You can connect sensors to your watch and forward the data through the app into platforms like Zwift or MyWhoosh or froward somewhere else, while still keeping your workout recorded in Suunto ecosystem.
Cycling and running profiles are currently supported.
Completely rewritten BTLE stack
(the conflict with the Suunto App is still not solved because of… you know)
So, next releas I probably going to finally focus on localization support as a most requested ‘feature’ in support.
Also want to highlight some updates made to the web version:
Support for 3D characters on the map
You can now choose different character styles in your profile.
Drone-like follow mode
It’s mimic to drone style tracking camera, a bit… um… “cinematic” from my perspective.
Your partner or followers can now see their own position relative to you directly on the map, including live distance and ruller between you.
That’s probably it for now.
Thanx you all for testing, feedback, and patience.
