@jp386 Hi,
The app does not run on the background but the BLE service. Are you sure it costs battery? Can you post your battery stats here ?
-
@dimitrios-kanellopoulos
I see a notification in a phone that is telling me the app is constantly on:

@jp386 take a look in this conversation here:

and lets track it there ?

Used the app for a few days now, I think it’s better than movescount in that you can see your steps, calories, sleep on the app which you couldnt on MC. syncing is quick and havent experienced any bugs yet.
what I want (which I’m many people have suggested) is to see more detail on everything. I want to see more analysis on steps, calories, hr, sleep from the daily activity aspect including a graph for a day, week and month.
cant see laps from a workout on the app. I also did a treadmill run and I cant see my speed in the app even though it was recorded from the treadmill.
I would like to see more customization as well, such as edit the goal on the home screen, steps, calories, number of workouts, workout hrs (as it is now). a dark version of the app would be nice.
Planning moves would be good as well as pre-setting intervals, i.e. warmup 5 min, 2 min high, 1 min low x6, cool down 5 min. A more advanced workout/interval creator would be good to but not a deal breaker.
Some of this I’d be happy to see on a web interface but if its on the app it needs to be on the web too. I might have some more suggestions I use it more.
Thanks -
I really like the comparison between two activities. Still, I feel that the search lacks functionality. It should be possible to search something like “285 W” regardless of where this string occurs in the description. Also wildcards or regular expressions would be great! At the movement this does not seem to work.
-
First impression was good, but when I got into the detail I was/am disappointed.
About me: I’m 78 years old, had bypass, had a severe stroke, and I work out regularly to recover my mobility etc. - without blowing my dodgy(ish) heart. Although I do care about tracking my walks, these are usually when on holiday in Spain or Finland. I am interested in my past moves - because I can see progress (or lack of it).
This new app seems to be focused on the young. I am pleased for them. really. If only these things were available for me in the 1960’s . . .
But this app and all it does is absolutely NOT for me. That’s OK. I just delete it from my phone and return gratefully to the movescount were I can see my 400+ moves already made.
You need to know - there are very many who workout strongly and regularly but who never leave the gym. This new app pretty much ignores them.
Specifically:
The graph showing heart rate is not customised to my own heart settings. (max 141; rest 60)And laps are good - to isolate the time/effort for each machine /activity in the gym.

@byron2495 Hi the old “movescount” moves will come eventually

May I ask what points you would like to get improved? I got a bit confused to say the truth
-
After using some days, using in my iPhone, my first opinions:
Good points:
- Design: beauty, clean and modern
- Speed of the app
- Sync works well without problems
- Integration with Apple Health
- Analysis screen
- Detailed information of the workouts
What I miss more:
- Automatically sync with watch when opening the app
- Import routes
- Export routes from the watch
Suggestions for the future:
- Full Watch Settings on the app, specially HR zones, sports customization and multiple sports features (for this last option I understand it depends on spartan firmware update)
- Add planification of future moves
- Add possibility to generate a Suunto Movie or at least connect with Relive service
A long list of missing but the feelings are really good for a beta app that’s only in 0.4 version.
Good job
-
@aldnet unfortunately integration with apple health do not work yet if you check more carefully app logs 0 steps/calories/sleep/daily hr
-
@slashas it’s not working with sleep and steps, but the rest, as a start, is working. I understand they will fix in the future, bu for now I disable this feature in Health App, because in some scenarios seems even the HR data is not transfered to Apple Health.
I will use Rungap until the next version
-
First time I edited one of my moves with app and I have to say It’s straightforward and easy to do.
And furthermore I edited it via my phone on the Android app and the changes were immediately updated on the IOS app (Ipad) a couple of seconds later.
Good job Suunto developers! -
Have a few suggestions about improvements to the app.
-
Possible to navigate in the graph (like on the web-site) for HR, speed ect. so it will be easier to check the data more accurate. Maybe possible to tilt the phone for bigger scale while navigate. and put graphs over each other like the web-site. Would make comparing terrain and HR easier for example.
-
Let more information sync to the app from the clock. Here I mean step-count, calories, sleep and HR. Would be easier to keep track of everything if it got saved to each day in the app/web. Also easier to check and compare restingHR for example. Now it just lay one week in the clock and will be gone.
-
More information in the workout-summary. Would love to see max/min speed, HR ect. Now it just show average for all. And its not that easy to check this in the graph as I mention over here.
-
Also have suggestion to the clock. Its about the smart notifications. Here i would love to find massages ect on the clock when its not check on the phone. Now they just show a few sec on the clock and then disappear. If I’m in a middel of a set and get a text, its not that easy to check it. Would be great to check the massages on the clock after the set without need to find the phone.

Hi! Just installed the Suunto app and already have smth to say)
The overall look and feel is really much, much better than in the Movescount app. Clean and clear. Great job, thank you, guys!
For me as for a beginner swimmer it’s extremely important to know if I was better this time than the previous) So I’d like to see all the info 'bout stoke rate and intervals and so on directly in the app. The ‘Laps’ tab on the Movescount site is the most important for me right now. For example, each time I swim 200 meters as fast as I can and then compare the interval duration with the previous result.
It would also be great if you add Russian language)
Thank you again! -
@ilya-zherikov hello I think Russian language is supported, you are on android or iOS what is main phone language?
-
Hi there! Bought the Suunto Spartan Trainer HR this week, did a couple of workouts using the Suunto App beta. The app is really beautiful, did not show any problem to me, just missing features. I’ll go try the Movescount App now (the google play ratings drove me away from it), just to be able to sync data without a PC.
Will keep an eye on Suunto App, though. As soon the app syncs data with Strava, Movescount or Sports Tracker, I’m sure will coming back. -
@slashas Obviously it’s not supported. I use iPhone SE/iOS 11/Russian language. Anyway, beta version info says ‘The Suunto app is currently only available in English. Translations for other supported languages (German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Finnish) may be incorrect or incomplete’.
-
Well, I’ve just found ‘Laps’ tab on the Sports Tracker site but it’s empty. It seems that not all information from my Spartan Trainer was synced.
-
Sync has improved a lot since I started to test this app and it seems to be rock solid now!
-
@marius-jacobsen-eggerud I own a Spartan for 2 weeks and can just confirm what you’re saying. I am really impressed with the sync process
