4.) Chest HRM (3, red or blue) will give improved results.
5.) Foot Strike Sensor with HRM gives the improved results, too.
6.) To enter score menu use the "LAP" button,
-Lap press 1, Edit Team A. Use Up/Down to edit*

-Optional: Chest HRM (3, red or blue), Foot Strike Sensor or Running Dynamics Pod (best accuracy)

Known Deficiencies:
-(Indoor Only) 'Main' Distance field and Garmin's Main Speed Graph are not reporting in connect.garmin.com or connect app
-Displaying Scoring field in Connect this is a Connect bug - https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?364535-Known-Issues-Thread
- I will work on this to get a workaround.

It crashes on F3HR. There is the start-up screen but once I hit the Start button the screen shows IQ! only.

I found an error using the Squash Sport type. I corrected and will update the app store version 1.6.1.

Hi,

I've just downloaded the trial version to test and have a question.

Sports type is set to "Custom Activity" named Yoga. I expected saved sessions to be named "Yoga", but they appear on the Watch/GCM/GC as "Walking".

Is this expected behavior?

Device: Forerunner 935
Firmware: 5.30

I've attached an activity recorded with the above setup.

Thanks!

No I will correct for the next release.

How do I operate this thing on a vivoactive? It's in Pickleball mode. The instructions say that a hitting the menu button, or swiping up/down will change the score, but when I'm in the score screen, the only actions which have any effect are the "back" button, and swiping right and left, which simply move to a different screen.

Hello. I' am new to this application ( the full version) and still trying to find out how it works.

I bought the application since I wanted an application to use primarily for tennis.
Since I am new to this I went for a brief walking activity (outdoors) to test it and I have the following comments:

1) The Average speed is missing the decimal point or/and is way out of the expected value. I saw values of 100+ the first time I went out or 55 in the second round and I was only walking.
2) There seems to be a delay concerning the value of the current Speech (it took a approximately 5-10 seconds to drop the speed to close to zero when I stopped walking).
3) It showed maxSPD: 29.0 at the activity report which is somehow too high (I was just walking around). Could it be due to poor GPS signal at the beginning of the activity? Indeed GPS wasn't locked when I started the activity. But in this case it would be useful to show the GPS icon in green when it locks in the Main Page Fields and maybe start counting average speed after this happens.
4) The HR at the top of the main page is only shown in black. Will it change color based on the HR zone I am in? Do I need to setup this somewhere?
5) It showed me an stp value (approximately 120) at the initial page although I didn't have a cadence sensor nearby and I was just walking. How does it calculate cadence?
6) It also showed me an hr value at the initial page which I guess came from the Optical HR sensor on the watch. It could be useful if you could indicate somehow whether the HR value comes from an external HR monitor-band (i.e. indicate as HR in capital) or the embedded HR optical sensor (hr in lowercase).

My watch is Fenix3HR.

Thanks for your effort and I hope you will keep investing in the application to further improve it.

I have now tested the application in real conditions and I have the following comments/suggestions:

1) As I mentioned in my previous post the "Average SPD" (which I guess its the average speed in Km) is missing the decimal point. For instance it shows a value of "54" instead of "5.4"

2) It seems that there is a problem in the estimation of the Average SPD value. It shows values of more than 120 (which should have been 12.0) right from the very beginning of the session, although my max speed didn't reached this level. Then, the value slowly falls but its influenced from the initial value.

3) The font size of the calories, time-of-date, average HR at the bottom of the main page are too small to be easily seen. I would prefer a slightly larger font size at the bottom line which could be easily obtained if you could use smaller font size for the values of Speed, Distance at the second line.

@vdloukas, i will look into these and get back to you, thanks for the heads up.
Edit,
I corrected the avg speed value, in the v2.13. check the app store.
the font size is an artifact of the size of watch, no other fonts are available.
the HR is based on your Garmin HR zones, they are configured in: watch settings, ConnectAPP or Garmin Express.
the app will use the OHR if a chest HRM is not present.
