Suunto app service status

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos I don’t do Facebook and didn’t get that message in the Suunto App. I guess it’s good others did though.

@Brent-Rodriguez there are no other people from Suunto posting here than me and @Jouko-from-Suunto that is currently on vacation.

I dont understand though your sentiment.

Due to this not being posted so many people were frustrated

Probably because they aren’t willing to admit they have a problem until they have fixed it.

We did send in app messages about this. No reason not to communicate something.

FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuuntoAmbit/ -> Lots of fustration and I asked people like @Saketo-Nemo to post there as I couldn’t and also @johan6504 can confrim if you like that last night I ACK the issue on our chat but I went offline.

Here is an in app message caputre.

may be not everyone got the in app message… I know I didn’t!!!

[Brent Rodriguez]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos wait about Matt_from_suunto?

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@lohtse @Brent-Rodriguez I know that not all people got the in app message unfortunately.

And yes Facebook is not something official and it was my mistake to not have asked “friends” to post this here. I am sorry.

[Brent Rodriguez]

@lohtse one probably needs to own one of Suuntos chosen watches (Spartan/S#) to get such notifications. Us Ambit/Traverse plebs aren’t worth the data costs to notify.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

no need to apologize, as you had something personal with higher importance which hopefully does not mean anything bad…
Everybody survived not being informed immediately and should be a bit more relaxed sometimes

@Brent-Rodriguez said in Suunto app service status:

There are other Suunto people that post on these forums aren’t there? Why didn’t they nut up and inform us that they were having a problem? Probably because they aren’t willing to admit they have a problem until they have fixed it. “Sure we had an issue. But it’s fixed now so you can’t be upset with us not acknowledging it.”

Why this controversy?
Ok, you don’t have facebook, it’s not an official way. Ok, you haven’t received the message in SuuntoApp, but this forum consults it, right?
Your previous message dates back to 3 days ago, you didn’t write anything during the breakdown. did you notice the fault?

Instead, I and others, we wrote here:

https://forum.suunto.com/topic/2970/is-suunto-app-background-service-down/38
https://forum.suunto.com/topic/2975/suunto-app-not-connecting-to-strava/3

@Saketo-Nemo Suunto has a history of shitty communication with its users. Haven’t you been here a while? Exactly how much do we know about where Suunto App is going? Are we going to get the website nearly everyone wants? POIs? Interval training? They don’t communicate crap with us. Apart from this forum I have submitted bugs to Sunnto and they failed to acknowledge them until they found a fix or had already fixed them. Denial. Denial. Denial. That’s Sunnto supports motto. Thinking about my communication with them is getting me riled up. Please don’t make me think of it again.

I come here everyday checking on the status of the app. You see that little inbox icon near the top of the page? I’ve been reading the posts but you guys beat that horse dead. No need to keep hitting it. The point was Suunto doesn’t tell us crap. If you don’t understand that you must be a shill.

I deleted the latest workout from my Suunto App yesterday as a way to try to force the upload to Strava, but now I have the workout on my Suunto 9 but it nevers syncs back to the app. Is there any way to get the workout data back in the app?

[Brent Rodriguez]

@Arik-Yaacob According to the post below you need to uninsall SA and reinstall it.

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

Can we keep kinda the discussion scoped? Please? Let’s not go over website requests. What do you think?

Or do we need to beat our dead horse here again

[Brent Rodriguez]

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos The “we want a website” horse is going to be beat to atoms unless Suunto delivers.

My point wasn’t that we don’t have a website, its we don’t know if we will ever get one or any of the features we have requested. Suunto doesn’t communicate with us. It doesn’t matter if the community finds the issue. What matters is if Suunto is honest with us and acknowledges it. They did but only for some people apparently.

[Arik Yaacob]

Thank you @Brent-Rodriguez, that did the trick. I just wish there was smoother way to do it

[Dimitrios Kanellopoulos]

@Brent-Rodriguez I understand you. Thanks

[Saketo Nemo]

@Brent-Rodriguez
It is not for me to answer you about the direction taken by Suunto and the Suunto App, also because I do not know it, but please try to be less tragic about a temporary disservice that has not caused any data loss but at the end a half day delay in uploading the data on the social Strava. ( that I use myself )

[A.P.M.]

Explore tab in my Android app still seems not working - not showing any activities on map/list. At least yesterday I’ve seen a lot of them in my city.

Wow, you submitted bugs and they were failed to be acknowledged until they were fixed! You must be so disappointed. Perhaps you should see something positive. How many bug reports do you think Suunto gets? Likely a lot. I am sure they proceed up a chain and the important ones are confirmed by likely more than one person. Would you rather have them fixed or someone reply stating they will be fixed and never know when. While the communication could be better, the bugs are fixed!

You do have interval training…it may not be the training you want but you have it. We had a survey on POIs and waypoints and it looked great to me, Suunto solicited input and are likely acting on the surveys. Do other companies (Garmin, Polar, Coros) send surveys out about possible features asking the customers to rank them? I am not aware of any.

Guess I am a shill, whatever that is.

Having a survey is nice. And yes, I am also Garmin customer for years and they don‘t do it. But it is clear that Garmin develops on their own without input of the customers.
But when it feels like I take place in that survey and nothing happens, not even a communication of maybe the outcome and a little roadmap, it is more like a farce. Suunto gave the appearance to involve the customers, but the lack of communication what happens with our input maybe in a roadmap or whatever makes me stop believing in what I thought Suunto is doing.
But I really want to be convinced that Suunto is doing the right thing, listening to the customers, developing what is upvoted the most, communicating more…
Just as a background information: I am doing computer system validation, I know of Scrum, of requirements engineering and communication with customers and so I know about the importance of every what I am missing here…
