Movescount can now connect to suunto app

Ah, ok, maybe I bad understood.
I thought that by synchronizing with suunto app it would update itself as well as movescount.
BTW, connected MC from app, no move duplicates

Showed Movescount sync (even it’s just history import) 5 minutes ago, now… Just Strava sync.

@Saketo-Nemo I have lots of duplicates.

Hey, I have not this option in my new 3.53 build.
Strange, because I also cant import gpx although others can.

Our dev ops detected the spike in the connections and changed the config.

Did someone talk about feature switches?

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos It seems that I have paid premium account, since Movescount import to SA, is still there in my phone

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos
Does you mean that it is normal now, not to have Movescount connection option ?
Or is it still à “bug” that some has it And others not ?
Btw, thanks for this version, it seems like the Best since ages.
Nothing perfect, but many new things, to test, tobdiscuss

The Movescount history import has always been there since I think 2016.
However it is not shown, working okish up to some days ago. The plan is to come in Spring 2019 were we all will be fine todo so.

However, here and in some other places you will have access way faster than that Spring 2019 that all should get it.

Today we had a little issue, the app released pointed to retrieve a testers config, while it shouldn’t and this is shut down from the backend this time.

The connection was in test for a short while, but there is/was a speed issue in one of the API’s used for transferring the data between the backends. This new channel that can import all valuable data (not the limited ST connection) has been behind the global switch for few months, not quite since 2016 . This 3.53.0 was supposed to turn it on for only China version, not for the global one. sneak peak about it here, but had to be turned off since there is still few things to be finetuned before it can be launched to all. Anyway a good example how we can turn on ‘third party’ connections without actually updating the application. It may be that you can expect a lot of 3rd party connections next year. This said, it may be that we do actually need some updates also to the app to make this really possible.

Just 3 points to let users “live” and give you -Suunto devs- a better life:
1- Import MC history would be associated to “upload” new workouts to MC (like with Strava)
2- Filtered notifications is a must, I can’t live with all or nothing.
3- It would be great to could edit workouts (description, pictures, data…) before syncing to external services, so autosync in the background must be a choice switch, some of us prefer forced syncs to do them after that work.
I’m pretty sure those 3 changes would be a borderline in terms of users needs.
