      when I read all comments, I get to think that @Brad_Olwin wrote quite a simple and good summary of what the majority loves about SA 👍

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

                  Map view with dynamic point on the track linked with altitude/speed/HR. Great !

                    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.

                      @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos how about in-app survey so that more people can express their opinion?

                        we’ve had that some time ago… for general questions but also for things that were about to be implemented…
                        I think suunto is busy with that stuff right now…

                        the issue I see is: we request things, they start working on them, before they release these things we’ve requested, we request much more…

                          @TELE-HO strange how that works, right? ☺ But this is how it is if you put an unfinished product on the market. If it at least had MC features I don’t think that many would be complaining/requesting.

                            The Suunto app is fine, but nothing to write home about.

                            However the Suunto app ecosystem is severely lacking and currently just resembles a crippled version of the MC + MC web package. Please, Suunto, let’s finish the product first, then polish.

                              yes it’s true!
                              I mean I have made the same “mistake” in our company when we made a new setup for the 3D CAD… we started configuring from scratch instead of removing things we don’t need anymore and then adding new things… next time I know this as I have learned my lesson. (it was the first time for me…)

                                  Cannot agree more with this.

                                  Suunto App is sufficient 90-95% of the time for tasks like syncing an activity, quickly glancing at the summary of metrics, making some quick configuration changes (although modern Suunto watches aren’t really externally configurable besides sport mode screens), and perhaps looking at weekly or monthly totals.

                                  However the remaining 5-10% is where a real analysis is needed and Suunto App is severely lacking there, partially due to the tiny phone screen and partially due to severely lacking graphing and data analytics tools.

                                  It isn’t useful to look at one metric at a time. Ability to overlay multiple metrics together and select and zoom is essential. Movescount has that!

                                  Furthermore, let’s say I did some fartleks and now want to select an arbitrary segment on the graph and look at my average HR or cadence, or pace over that interval. Easy with Movescount, impossible with SA.

                                  Let’s say I want to quickly find a race I did 5 years ago then look at details and find splits between aid stations. Easy with MC, impossible with SA.

                                  How about ordering all my activities by total ascent and looking at the top ones? Need more examples?

                                  What SA offers instead are some silly comparisons, such as telling me that my average HR on this run was 140 bpm worse than on the previous run even though I didn’t use HR monitor on the previous run. Or telling me that this run was 20 miles shorter than the previous run. Am I supposed to make each next run longer than previous? What kind of guidance is that? Is it targeted at people with a new year resolution who have been running for one week?

                                      I agree with you for 100%

                                      Suunto knows our requirements, if they listen, they can have the best sport-watch app on the market.
