So, what are you going to do after Movescount closes?

The answer was something like “I’ll forward it to the developers but I can not promise if this will be implemented”.

It’s a pretty standard answer. They send one to me too, but I’ve never heard a follow-up.

I’m trying to use Suunto Apps to setup structured workouts when Movescount app will be killed.

My app is OK on the App zone on Movescount. When I try to sync it to A3P with Suuntolink, the app is not transfered and there is nothing on the watch. I tried with Moveslink2 and no problem, app is transfered and can be used on the watch.

Did I miss something ? I’ve understood that Suuntolink replaces Moveslink2 for A3P settings.

Thanks.

@Janfi , I can just say that not so long ago Suuntolink synced apps just fine from Movescount.
Does it just skip apps and everything else from Movescount still syncs? I.e. if you add a new sport mode that does not include any app, is Suuntolink able to sync that?

[freeheeler]

@Janfi
I remember that I’ve had to sync couple of times before my changes were pushed to the watch back when I used A3PS…

[Janfi]

@margusl Thanks for your tip. I don’t why, but Suuntolink was not connected my movescount account. After refill my credentials, everything seems OK.

[Janfi]

@TELE-HO Interesting. This time it was not the same case (credentials as indicated on another post), I will see if the behavior will be the same in the future.

[freeheeler]

@Janfi
it’s the same with kids you just have to repeat it a thousand times and be patient

Thank you I didn’t receive it.

Reformulation without bullshit : “We have now confirmed the new schedule for the final slaughtering of Ambit3 users, which means that your settings will soon can only be done with a computer and cable so don’t forget any setting before going outside. Furthermore, you will not be able to use structured workouts with a simple GUI anymore on your mobile phone, as it was indicated when you buy the watch, but you will need to use Suunto Apps and develop programming skills to setup your workouts. Be happy to use 20x more time than using Movescount App which do the job because we decided to throw it to trash bin”.

Hopefully, some guys provides useful tools in this crappy situation when Suunto is unable to do it. Take a look at Wanarun if you need help for structured workouts in Suunto Apps.

Thanks, I didn’t knew that tool, only ambit intervals .

[Janfi]

@andré-faria Thank you too , ambit intervals seems very interesting and I didn’t know it.

[ollemelin]

I own S9B and happy with the suunto App. Before that I used an Ambit.

I really enjoy the routing function in the app. Garmins own tool is a nightmare.

My issues with suunto is rather that my high end gadget cant handle complex intervals. The GPS in SB9 is not working that great either. For that I bought a Stryd, but the Interval function is a deal breaker for me in the long run.

Think I will try a Polar when the time comes.

[Jurjen]

Will use my Ambit as long as possible.

I run using a Stryd and row using a custom app to display speed. This is all fully working, so for me this transition is not a big deal anymore. I still think the Ambit is modern and a cool watch, so no real reason to replace it.

[zalex]

Due to the transition to the Suunto App I’ve some questions. Will thankfull for the answers

1. Where will moves store phisically - somewhere in the Web or in a smartphone? I wouldn’t waste phone memory for this.
2. How will I be able to view and manage moves - through some Web-interface or Suunto App only?
3. I use Ambit 3. As I’ve understood I will have possibility to setup the watches via movescount.com, but will have no access to moves archive and no possibility to upload new moves. That is the site will live but the most of functions will be disabled?

1- 100% will be saved in SuuntoApp cloud + xx% of data will be dowloaded in your phone to make the app working. If you feel that App storage on phone grows to much in the time, disconnect and reconnect and storage will be cleaned with only data needed to work.
2- New moves only in SA after transition
3- Old moves will still be seeable in MC web (as far as i understand), but no new moves will go there. The site will stay minimum, to see old activities and setup old legacy watches

[mlakis]

Is there something coming regarding Movescount routing functionality and elevation profile on February 9th, the date that Digital Service Transition seems to end? No speculation please(!), it’s only 6 days anyway

[Brad_Olwin]

@janfi you are welcome to be unhappy regarding the changes coming but please keep the rhetoric and language civil. Suunto employees do read this forum and they are people. This is not a vendetta by Suunto directed toward you!

It’s directed toward all of us?

[Ramón Castañer Botella]

Ok. Movescount site doesn’t work anymore. Big horror.
To view moves with the mobile phone is ridiculous in comparison to view them in my big PC screen.

And what about the data of the apps created by the users in Movescount side?? Is it not possible to download data apps??

I have a cadence detector for my bike and the new Sunto app only gives cadence average. Is it not possible to see a graph of cadence vs time???

I have the sensation that my Ambit3 is useless now.
