SuuntoPlus Community Apps: end of the hype…

[Manuel Extreme]

Disclaimer: this is my personal take. I don’t know how widely it’s shared, feel free to share your thoughts.

I built a couple of apps to support my training by adding features not available in Suunto’s native screens.
But if they are not “certified,” they get deleted every time I sync the watch with the app, and for me that happens multiple times a day.

So these apps become unusable, because they disappear every time, and reinstalling them requires going back to the PC, connecting the device, and rebuilding again.

It’s manageable at the beginning (the hype phase), but then it becomes a hassle and all motivation to develop apps fades away.

When will we be able to have our apps persist on the watch?

@Manuel-Extreme I mentioned this before as well. There should be a setting to make an S+ app, or a custom watchface persistent through syncs.
This might need support from the Suunto app, adding separate section to manage (view, settings, remove) these unpublished custom apps and watchfaces.
