Apps WorkOutDoors: New workout features

[BrianGGG]

Could someone remind me please? How do I set the distance of a lap on the workout tab?

It’s currently set to a mile but I can’t remember how to override it.

Set the distance notification (under alerts).

That could be related. Do you have problems when you don't use Stryd?

yes, it works without a sensor, but everything is fine with the sensor every other time (One time it's fine, the other time the distance doesn't match.). Would replacing the watch with the current version (apple watch 10) help (I have an apple watch 7)?

That's odd. The version of watchOS probably won't make any difference.

To be honest I am always tempted to remove support for the Stryd footpod from the app. It seems more hassle than it is worth in terms of the amount of support work that it results in me dealing with. And now that watchOS has been supplying power for a while there doesn't seem much need for it.

My plan is to reassess it when I next revisit the sensor functionality but maybe I will remove it before then. I am sure this would make them happier too because they would prefer people to use their app. They are always extremely unhelpful when I ask them for help, to the extent that I gave up asking a long time ago.

Stryd app is clueless for running. Please do not delete Stryd support. WOD completely suits me, solves all my requests. And the Stryd sensor allows you to accurately determine distances where GPS interference is introduced.

Select a route in the iPhone app then go to the Waypoints tab and tap '...' and it will appear in the menu.

It's not great at the moment (especially for twisty routes) but I aim to improve it during beta testing and then make a decision about whether or not to include it.

Did I imagine it, or is there a sensitivity config for the detect bend function?

I quite like it, but it seems to be very sensitive and I go through and delete around 50% of bends!

What would also be really useful, is if on the "Waypoints" tab of a Route view, where you have the map at the top and the list of Waypoints below, if holding on a Waypoint (or something, maybe a "slide right" could toggle one Waypoint to be highlighted and centred in the map, where "slide left" reveals the 'delete'??).

Its a bit of a bind to click through the Waypoints to the next screen to confirm which one you've got before coming back to the previous screen to delete.
