In the new Suunto App is it possible to use apps that were created within the Suunto App Zone in Movescount???
-
Hi:
I’ve an Ambit3 Sport and I developed programmed many useful apps I’m still using at Movescount site.The question is, would it be possible to use these apps in the SA instead of Movescount???
If answer is not I would think to throw to trash my Ambit3.
Thanks

No it’s not possible atm.For ambit3 users MC will remain active.
You need to take a look at the post in the area : https://forum.suunto.com/category/31/digital-service-transition -

It’s true that I’ve postes a similar question at the other forum subcategory (sorry).Then MC will be active for Ambit3 users??? But this will be true for the next months???
I’ve the idea to buy a bluetooth cadence for bike and I have in mind to program a new app to advice the best gear to be used in function of the pedal cadence.
Do you know if it will be possible to upload new apps to Suunto App Zone and to use them in our Ambits???
Thanks in advance.

As a part of our digital service transition, and aligned with our prior communication we will continue the process of ramping down movescount.com in the coming months. As such, there will be changes to the website and some features will be removed. The future end-state of what is currently movescount.com will be where Ambit and Traverse watch owners will manage key watch functionality like settings, customization of sport modes and planning routes.
/…/
Moveslink2 and Suuntolink: By summer 2020, Suuntolink will replace Moveslink2, offering our Ambit and Traverse owners a renewed service experience. Suuntolink will be the connection to Suunto app and access to new and incremental benefits from our partner ecosystem. We will keep everyone updated with more details to ensure moving to Suuntolink, and taking Suunto app into use, is as easy as possible.
suunto.com/transitionWhile it doesn’t mention apps, Suuntolink currently syncs those from Movescount to Ambit. There’s no telling if it will remain like that and if Movescount-or-whatever-it-will-be-called keeps its app builder. So right now guiding apps are still usable when you decide do go with Suunto App. But (and there’s always a but… ) data logged by apps is not synced to Suunto App and I’m afraid it’s likely to remain like that.

Even if the ambit app data is not synced to the Suunto app, at least keeping the ability to create apps and use them on the watch would not require much effort/resources from Suunto.

But the problem is that if data logged by apps is not synchronized to Suunto App it won’t be possible to view app plots and sometimes an app without a plot in function of the time is useless. To use these apps on the watch is not enough.
For example, let’s think about a simple app to study the average bpm or the average speed in function of the training time. If these data are not logged these apps would be not interesting.

@ElTron-ElTron , everyone has different priorities (just look at the post above yours), I have only few apps that are built for logging, all the rest are for real-time guidance. You could just keep using Movescount as long as its data import & analysis are still available. And once the Move upload gets disabled, you still have an option to fall back to Moveslink2 cable sync & SML files and parse those yourself to plot app data. Moveslink2 is happy generate those SMLs for you while working offline, with no Movescount connectivity. Or look into Openambit, there now seems to be Windows support.
Of course trashing your watch is an option like any other, from Suunto’s point of view this is almost the best thing you could do - by unplugging the unit from their ecosystem for good (not selling it / passing it on), you release small yet measurable amount of their resources.
Just saying that I personally wouldn’t bet on anything Ambit-specific to be added into Suunto App. I’m happy to change my stance on this once there’s some progress with much simpler and more generic issues like data from powermeters. Oh heck, just any visible change towards Ambits might do, last one was over 16 months ago.
So it’s either adapting or moving on.
BTW, I was dead-serious on SML-files, there’s something oddly satisfying about processing those, especially when going through data that’s normally not sent out to MC & SA services.

Ok, thanks. I did know Openambit yet but I was thinking that they only gave support for Linux user. Perhaps if now there also for Windows I will take a look.
I know were slm flies are located. They are at:
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Suunto\Moveslink2The difficult thing is how to put in a readable form all the information contained in these files.
Another thing is that the program given by GitHub for Openambit are not compiled and I don’t know how to obtain an executable program.
