I did not test your exact code, but things at least work with the following inclusions:

manifest.json

  "settings": [
    {"shownName": "Note 1", "path": "note1", "type": "string"},
    {"shownName": "Note 2", "path": "note2", "type": "string"},
    {"shownName": "Note 3", "path": "note3", "type": "string"}
  ]

data.json

{
    "note1": "Some important things that you don't want to forget.",
    "note2": "Things to do when you arrive at a certain location.",
    "note3": "Any other note that is important to you."
}

Those show up in the iOS/Android app like this:

@SuuntoPartnerTeam Thanks for testing. I thnk I can find a workaround for it.
Is it possible to test the Suunto App behavior as well before the app is published?

SuuntoPartnerTeam

@surfboomerang The simulator doesn’t yet have a working implementation of settings and while the store technically supports visibility-limited beta testing^, that option doesn’t seem to be generally available. However, once your submission is accepted, any updates should become available rapidly, which means you can quickly fix things.

^ I have sent an email about the state of beta testing to someone closer to these matters. We’ll see if they have anything to add

@suuntopartnerteam Worked around it by declaring 10 different strings and add the ones that are not null into an array when initializeing the app.

Also added an option for font size:

Is the link below correct for individuals if I want to apply for the partner program?

@dimitrios-kanellopoulos, @suuntopartnerteam To upload the developed SuuntoPlus app the instructions state that you have to apply for the Suunto Partner Program.

If I apply via this link: https://survey.alchemer.eu/s3/90553908/PARTNER-Become-a-Suunto-Partner it seems that it’s still aimed for companies rather than individuals. Is this the correct way to apply?

@surfboomerang It would be nice if Suunto could apply font size options globally to system messages etc - small black text on a white background is really hard to read, let alone when you’re running!

@surfboomerang The link should work for everyone. It does seem to contain some outdated questions from the pre-open era!

As for the earlier

Is it possible to test the Suunto App behavior as well before the app is published?

I got confirmation that hiding apps in the store for this kind of testing isn’t possible. On the editor side, the development team is aware of this need, but no ETA.

@SuuntoPartnerTeam Thanks for asking!
And for the Partner Program, I will use the link above…

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to join the community and share my first project here.

First of all, I want to say a huge thank you to the Suunto team for making OpenSuuntoPlus available. It’s a brilliant move that inspired me to try my hand at developing for watches. Although I’m not a professional programmer, I felt motivated to build something I personally missed during my sailing vacation last year.

I’ve created an Anchor Alarm app. The logic is simple but essential for any skipper:

You mark the spot where the anchor was dropped.
You set a safety radius (the “swing circle”).
If the boat moves outside this circle - meaning the anchor might be dragging - the app alerts the captain so they can take immediate action.

I have tested the app on my Suunto Vertical 2, and it also looks solid on other models in the emulator. If anyone is interested in how it works or wants to check the logic, the source code is fully available…
…on GitHub: ayamshanov/AnchorAlarm-for-Suunto (according to the forum rules, I do not have enough points yet to post direct links)

I would love to hear your feedback or suggestions!

Best regards,
Alexander

Hello everyone,
I am still user of S9B and as most of swimmers I am missing any swimming drills function, which was in old good Ambit series. I think it should be very easy Suunto app. If you will during pool swimming switch to this app screen, pressing lap button will add pool length to your total swimming distance. Is here anybody, who should help with this, please?

Hey!

First of all really thankful for this initiative, i had a project in my mind for years and two months ago applied for suunto api development, so i was really suprised and thankful that you’ve released the edit.

So my project:

I’m outdoor climber, and the type of guy that is too lazy to watch the climbing route topo image (visual map, either photo or drawn of the climbing route, with rock and climbing features) on the phone (and sometimes i do not want, as im afraid to drop it) and with the current generation of watches with nice , hi-res amoled screens ot would be game-changer feature on the watches if i could sync these topo’s with my watch and see it during climb, navigate on it like on the maps (or if altitude info is encoded on the topo, then maybe auto scrolling based on sensor data.)

So with the editor i spent a weekend and good amount of claude code tokens on developing this, and it start to get in shape (for now only ran it on simulation).

So currently i have 2 version:

the more realistic: using drawn topo (basically drawn line + topo features as predetermined shapes. The topo can be represented as a json with feature + coordinate info and the watch draws the topo based on that. I also made a website to be able to edit and export these climbing topos
the less realistic but would be also nice: uploading a climbing wall image as png, this works as well but for now i bake in the png into the source code.

Im still working on the sync (most probably the topo can be exported as a json, and added on the app. Also never run on my watch, so might be surprises for me.

So do you have any recommendations, critique or ideas regarding this? I would be happy to hear it

@mcindr no need for this, next update will finally addressed it the proper way

@herlas Thanks for your answer. But this update will be sure not for my S9
