Any news about the Store issue?
I wrote some message to store but they never answer me.
I also can't download this.

knobtviker 2013-05-03 20:39

They charged me twice for the app that I still can't download.
I got them working on this. Hopefully, for them, they fix it soon...

They keep telling me that they are working on the issue. The interesting thing: the issue is so complex that it may require a client update...

I don't have any expectation anymore. My guess: they are doing nothing because the remaining employees do not understand anything about the installation.

Unfortunately not. Nokia is probably working nights and days on this issue, though. Or not... I will try to contact them again.

The Symbian version was submitted more than 1 week ago but it takes time because Nokia's QA suddenly realized that they require more warnings to the user because (surprise!) MeeRun uses GPS location for tracking.

Allowing users to pay for an app that cannot be downloaded seems to be acceptable by Nokia but using GPS in a GPS tracking application is not. Strange company.

Last year the Sports Tracker application for N9 was missing long time from the Nokia shop. Then it finally appeared to be downloaded again. So it's nothing new to have problems with Nokia's store.

MeeRun is an excellent application as a sports tracker. I understand how frustrating it must be for the developer to have this mess. Sometimes I really feel that Nokia slowly wishes to kill itself.

Let's hope for the best and thank you bwalter for the software and for your brave efforts with Nokia!

The other day, while I was running I took a picture. When I closed the camera app, MeeRun crashed.

I have not tried to reproduce it.

I had the same problem with the first version, i think it was very heavy on processor usage (according to RscMonitor).

With the last version, this problem seems to be gone. Also no problems with using camera at the same time.
I'm looking forward to test the effects of the new version on the battery at thursday :)

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9
 
Nokia charged me in buying Meerun, but there is the above mentioned download problem. Complaints (using the store application) results automated email reply (with my own email address as sender!). I fully understand that this is not caused by the programmer @bwalter

I think one way to try to influence Nokia is to contact the domestic Consumer Rights Authorities. Nokia charges for an item but does not deliver the item. Hence, this is a fraud. The more countries join this action the better.

Best,

Antti

Nope, it's not :)

The good thing about Nokia is, what they did in the past. Unlike in most other systems these days, it's no problem to send a PM to bwalter and install the .deb he sends you ;)

jhon_key 2013-05-09 02:28

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9
 
I finally use Meerun and I like too much, thank you bwalter, it's a shame what Nokia does with their users.

Cool - i've sent him a pm on this

knobtviker 2013-05-09 07:35

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9
 
PMs and Bwalter is cool, but I want this fixed on Store ASAP!
I'm involved into a conversation about this issue, but so far nothing is fixed yet. Scumbags...
Charged me twice and I could never download.

bwalter 2013-05-10 08:56

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9
 
The download issue for the N9 has been solved. And the Symbian version is now available!
http://store.ovi.com/content/363791

Edit1: there is a problem with the Symbian release 1.1.5 (this time because of the app, not because of Nokia). It will be fixed in the 1.1.6 release!

Edit2: problem with Symbian release has been solved.

I'm writing to them again now...

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9
 
There are already 3 different items in the store because of that issue. They will be all fixed but I am not really enthusiastic about maintaining 3 different items. And that's also stupid that users need to pay again.

I am still checking with them how the issue can be solved. The worst case would be to explicitly ask for a refund and download again.

That's probably the best solution! Asa we understand which version is working well I'll buy it again...

knobtviker 2013-05-10 11:16

I was called by Eric from Nokia. They issued a refund for double payment and then I bashed away that this had to be fixed. :)

I confirm it works now, downloaded and installed now on N9. :)

Thanks! I can confirm that download works.
I didn't try before but as the issue seemed to be cleared I finally decided to hit the 'Buy' button and now I have MeeRun installed.

Perhaps you can give positive feedback on Nokia's shop, too, in order to encourage others to install MeeRun on their Nokia N9 phones.

Confirm from Sweden also. Just downloaded it from Store. Is version 1.1.3 the latest?

Best way to inform rest of users...

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9
 
If a direct option to upload a workout to sport-tracker will be implemented in a future release I will directly buy the application. It already looks very good and seem to have a good user interface (better than sport tracker).
I guess my question is, will there ever the feature to upload directly to sport tracker ?
Thanks and keep up the incredible job.

knobtviker 2013-05-13 10:34

Interesting request.
Sports Tracker fors have an API but its not public. You can examine their website with Firebug and fetch all needed info.

That would be da best :) together with altitude tracking and auto-save :D

bwalter 2013-05-13 13:39

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9
 
To be honest, I would prefer to support a service which is a little bit more open than Sports Tracker but that may be a good idea, too.

Auto-save is also a good idea, the files are actually kept in the ~/.MeeRun/tmp directory (so manual restoring is already feasible) but that would be useful to detect it when restarting the app and make a recovery.

The next planned features are:
- offline maps (openstreetmaps)
- manual pause
- new button design

And (a little bit later...):
- voice feedback
- altitude

hi! why all the comments from n9 users disappear from the store? only 3 comments from Symbian users... something's changed? can I buy it without worries? :-)

I guess they erased reviews because of all the download problems and that people gave bad reviews because of those issues and not the MeeRun-app.
Download issues should be solved now so you could buy it. It's a very nice sports tracker.

bwalter 2013-05-18 11:23

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9
 
That's because I had to upload the item several times (that's what Nokia asked me to, because of the download issue). They unfortunately cannot be merged :( Here are the 3 links:

http://store.ovi.com/content/363791 (official one for harmattan and symbian)
http://store.ovi.com/content/366068 (deprecated, but will be maintained for harmattan for people who bought it)
http://store.ovi.com/content/357611 (broken)

It's been about ten days I'm using this software on my N9 and I am more than happy about this app!
I just wanted to add a positive comment on ovi store (directly from my n9), hoping it will help a little to make this software more popular. But it is not working... There seems to have some issue while sending the message :/

Since I bought the version from "366068" link and not "363791", it should explain why I am not able to leave a comment :/
Moreover, I am not able to have the 1.1.4 update.

Two questions:
  1. Are you planning to develop a version for Sailfish OS? I know it's a bit early since we even don't know if jolla phone will have built-in GPS, but I'm just curious about it.
  2. I am walking something like 10km a day (with an average speed of 6km/h) in town,so I can't say it is hiking nor running. I suppose that each activity is designed to fit the exercise (more time between each GPS track, filter setting and so on...) So can we expect having a dedicaced walking profile? Now I am using "hiking"...

One last thing: French translation is a great surprise :)

jhon_key 2013-05-24 14:34

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9
 
Hi bwalter
I show your App to my friends and they like it some much, they ask me if you will port it to Android.
Will you do it?

bwalter 2013-05-27 13:02

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9
 
The 1.1.4 release just adds unisignificant updates to satisfy Nokia's QA (privacy policy dialog and GPS location data option disabled by default). Both items (363791 and 366068) will be updated as soon as the new release is available.

Regarding the other questions:
  1. Yes, I of course have plans to develop for Sailfish OS as soon as I am able to get a device.
  2. I guess that "Hiking" should be renamed into "Walking", it is more generic :)

An Android port will probably be available later this year, but the current priority is to support Blackberry 10 devices and of course new features for Harmattan, Symbian and BB.

Hi! I really like this app! However, there is one important feature missing: Since I use this app for mountain biking or hiking it would be great for me if the app would not only show a plot with the speed over distance but also a plot with the altitude over the distance. Would it be possible to add such a feature? Would be great if the plot could be accessed by swiping once more to the left side. Starting from the main screen, swiping once brings you to the speed vs. distance plot, swiping twice brings you to the altitude vs. distance plot.

Your wishes are on the roadmap of the developer. Please, have a look at message: #148.

I like the MeeRun application, too, and wait for the same features as you are waiting for.

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9
 
I've tried the App several times now. Unfortunately it does not work as expected. Power consuming as hell, inaccurate....

Switching back to MeeTrainer for now.

Your review lacks a lot of details but i will try to answer anyway. Accuracy and efficient GPS filter belong actually to the focus of the app. You can even compare the raw data with the filtered one. MeeRun does not have any influence on the raw data, if you get inaccurate data, that can be because you are using wrong filter settings. Don't hesitate to send me the GPX files. If possible, also the .mrgpx files In the .MeeRun/Trainings directory.

The power usage should also be much much lower with the latest version, maybe you are using an outdated release you found in internet or the wrong app :)
