Get a tablet

I downloaded the Suunto app on an Asus tablet. it works great!. No problems. If you don’t like putting on your phone you might want to invest in an inexpensive tablet.

What is inexpensive for you? For me 20€ for something that I already have is very expensive. I have a Surface Pro, why i need to buy a tablet if I already have one? I need a web service as I have now.

Besides, why we need to do this to the planet, buy material things for something that only needs programming.

I’ve got a 32 inches screen on my home desktop computer; at work desktop, I use a four screen configuration (32"+3x28"); and a portable computer with Ubuntu and windows 10… Why the hell I must prefer and buy a tablet for analyzing my workouts, prepare routes or configuring my watch screens?

@ColdBeer I’m glad you have all of that stuff, it’s nice. I have a Cyber Power gaming PC with a 32" Acer monitor (with Nvidia G-Sync and 3D vision) , 3 laptops (including a new Dell 5530) a Galaxy S8… and the Asus Tablet. The tablet works better at the gym since I have more than just the Suunto app installed. Just saying, you know?

@Paridave If you have a Surface Pro, then use the Surface Pro (if Microsoft will let you install an android app). What works for me is not necessarily going to work for you.

@Paridave I don’t think it’s up to Microsoft to enable installing Android apps… More like up to Google or somebody else to provide a runtime that’s required for Android apps to function, along with support to integrate hardware specific app images from Google Play Store and the said runtime. And then maintain all of this.

In theory, on Windows one can grab the app bundle and load it into the Android Emulator, with appropriate API level bits installed. But something tells me it’s a pretty painful way to run things Opening a browser seems to be easier and more intuitive, no?

So under your theory, if I don’t but a tablet, I must buy a surface pro to discover the wonderful benefits of Suunto App (maybe in a distopyan future when MS let users install Android apps). Ok, I see your plans now. It’s ok. Keep calm, please. Sit down and keep calm. But answer this please: do you receive in your great tablet the same services as you received in Movescount? And in the same easy way?

You are so prompt to shout :), but @Paridave as just initially said that Suunto App is working on an Android tablet, and even on a cheap one. That’s all. Nothing more about Movescount Web dispearing.

@Mff73 I’m not from UK or USA, and don’t talk English everyday, but I’m pretty sure what means:

“If you don’t like putting on your phone you might want to invest in an inexpensive tablet.”

But even having SA on a bigger screen does not solve the real - or bigger - issue at all.
The information accessible via SA is (in the current version!!!) too limited, a bigger screen might be nicer, but not helpful - no matter if it is a web-based or app-based view.
