SuuntoPlus Apps Development
-
Are there further plans on this topic? The selection of S+ apps is great but still limited. As a developer, I’d love to make my watch truly fit my needs, but to do this, I need a way to write software for it.
-
I wish we could fix software bugs as well. Especially the ones that transfers from one update to another

I’m an IT engineer and I have some ideas for some SUUNTO plus apps :
-
A triangulation application which shows me 3 COMPASS information = The direction of point I started from, the North Direction and the direction to one current POI. we do not need 3 directions but just 2 however there are just 2 POI which sure : the place from where we started and a POI which represent a visible point with this and a goniometer it will be super easy thanks to the watch to locate our current position on a paper map
-
A super BIG figure display much better as the one proposed with distance, duration or time as SUUNTO do not propose it

Hey @pavel-samokha, any news on this topic.
I love suunto and as a software engineer myself I would love to be able to contribute and experiment with my own suunto plus apps.
Regarding the risk aspect of it, I was thinking that in any case rolling back to factory settings would fix any problem on the watch and that we would be able to use a second development account if we don’t want to mess up with our main account while developing.

@ben_grossiord no specific news I can share or promise, but the topic is remembered and considered
-
i think, there are not so many different watch there.
Suunto could create them virtual - an you could do a first test in the virtual application - if ok, to a real device! -
When I was buying my first sports watch, the ability to develop apps (with Ambit3) was a deal breaker for me back then. I probably would have gone with Suunto anyway, but the possibility of app development made it a no-brainer for me. I really hope this is revived in some form or another. I would certainly pay for the option as well.

Pls bring SuuntoPlud to RUN / newer OS, currently it just barebone watch. It would be wonderful to extend library of functionality to your most affordable watch.

@false For this you’d need to be hired by Suunto

@cheetah694 I will do my best guys!

API for App development would be an awesome feature. For example, found Tennis score app, but it’s useless for actual game (scoring system is wrong). Can’t contact devs directly, can’t fix it myself. Some sort of github with open source and community help would solve the problem and would not hurt stability.
System level access to developers is risky, but for simple apps with open source - I see no harm.Such customization would greatly improve trust in a company and add actually useful stuff for all of the users.
