SuuntoPlus Apps Development

opening the SDK for everyone will unleash the full creative power of the whole user base.
I would definitely do this and have already with isazi’s help already coded my ski touring app, that measures slope steepness to judge avalanche danger etc.
-
@Egika yeah, open SDK to everybody. Let people code whatever they want and let them load their own S+ apps to their own watch via SA just like the beta used to work and let only tested and approved apps be published in SA S+ store for everybody.
I have an idea about a cycling dashboard with few fields I can’t have at the same time with regular workout watch face - especially with colors or alerts applied.
-
The old idea of Ambit and Movescount was great. I found some very useful apps in the community.

If there’ll be open access, it would be nice if self-made s+ apps could be shared with suunto to be potentially published in the store.

According to all the posts on this forum, if the watch reboots mid-activity right now people are even considering switching to another brand
Have you ever tasted a reset during a race, in the middle? For sure not a smiling face in that occasion…

I am sure @surfboomerang was not making fun of crashes, but of the disconnect that modern users have: most of us want to be in beta everything, use the latest bleeding edge technologies, and at the same time want stability and absolute dependability
If your watch crashes on production firmware with released S+ apps it’s Suunto’s fault, but if it crashes on beta software or with your own apps, you need to own the mistake.Watch: Suunto Vertical Ti

@isazi I could be wrong but it seems, from what I’ve read so far, that in this forum people who complain about the various problems do not have the right to be quite angry… No one wants faulty gears, but when they happen…there is a great song by DM that sums it up perfectly: walking in my shoes.

@ultravox I did not know the song, listening now

Huh, why? This forum is free for any opinion as long as it doesn’t offend any other people
And walking in other’s shoes - is a two-way street.
P.S. If we talking about DM songs I like this one

People have all the right to be angry on this forum (not that it helps though). Some people became offensive on a personal level however. That’s where the line is drawn.

Is there any update on this subject?
Something that can be revealed? -

Are there further plans on this topic? The selection of S+ apps is great but still limited. As a developer, I’d love to make my watch truly fit my needs, but to do this, I need a way to write software for it.
-
I wish we could fix software bugs as well. Especially the ones that transfers from one update to another

I’m an IT engineer and I have some ideas for some SUUNTO plus apps :
-
A triangulation application which shows me 3 COMPASS information = The direction of point I started from, the North Direction and the direction to one current POI. we do not need 3 directions but just 2 however there are just 2 POI which sure : the place from where we started and a POI which represent a visible point with this and a goniometer it will be super easy thanks to the watch to locate our current position on a paper map
-
A super BIG figure display much better as the one proposed with distance, duration or time as SUUNTO do not propose it
