- 363791 (official item) has already the 1.2.0 version.
- 366068 and 357611 (old items): 1.2.0 release still pending...

Thanks for info! Then I hopefully just have to wait some days :D

This new version is pretty impressive! The improvements are huge: OSM maps and offline tiles... and finally the power consumption is really low, thanks to the longer GPS measurement intervals.

No need to wait: just buy the last version, the developer deserve this, I bought the 3 ones :)

What happens if I uninstall MeeRun, will I be able to download it again then without another payment?
Since they have vacation at QA I maybe have to wait until August until they have fixed the other versions.....

bwalter 2013-07-14 08:57

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9, Symbian and BB10
 
I guess that you don't need to pay again, even after uninstalling MeeRun. I also don't know what's happening to the other items (I uploaded the new package for more than 1 week...).

I got tired of waiting and tried to uninstall it but now when I go to Store it tells me that I'm going to pay to get the download. :(

I still have my receipt number and date but how to contact Store and complain?

bwalter 2013-07-16 15:30

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9, Symbian and BB10
 
Easiest thing is to ask Nokia for refund and purchase the new item. Nokia provides absolutly NO help for that and don't care about it, they only care about new customers and personal presents from Microsoft...

Nokia tried to figure out what was wrong but they didn't succeed. They offered my money back but I said no, it's no idea for only 3 euro ;)
I will buy version 1.2.0 and see if the coming updates works after that.

The only thing i'm really missing with it is heart-rate tracking.

BTW: is there any bug/issue tracker for this app otherwise this thread?

Today I got the update notification for... one of the older packages for MeeRun (sorry I'm not sure which is which) and all I get is a "download failed".
From apt-get update the only significant error message is:
"Fatal error: Server sent invalid ContentEntry"

There sometimes are problems with the Nokia shop while trying to download applications. You may be successful next time.

Run the competition to the ground and create a new working and simple sport and activity portal. ;)

Actually, after comparing three such portals (sportstracker, endomondo, and strava) i'm thinking about creating such thing very often

Hi there,

I recently discovered your app and I gave it a try but there are still some great things missing for me in order to use it as my main tracking app...I would love if you could add support to heart rate monitor, I normally use Sport Tracker with a HR Belt but since ST team has stopped support for symbian and I currently own a brand new 808 Pureview I´m frustrated with the ST team, so if you could add some features really important from a personal point of view like being able to see in real time the speed, distance and BPM in the locked screen while mountain biking I would switch to your app right now!!

Thanks for your time.

bwalter 2013-08-18 11:22

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9, Symbian and BB10
 
I am not sure if the 808 PureView supports BT 4.0 (Smart, LE), in that case adding HRM support for BT 4.0 would be a good idea. Supporting older devices is currently not planned.

Changeable fields (including real-time speed) is planned, also for the lock screen!

Nokia 808 Pureview has Bluetooth 3.0 support only.

http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_808_pureview-4577.php

A HR support and reliable altitude info would be awesome.

BTW. It seems strange to me that the altitude info on Sports Tracker and Endomondo ST, for example, is variable even while water sports as kayaking. You know that altitude is not changing, so wouldn't it be wise to use a calculated average altitude during a workout while water sports?

If the altitude value is taken from GPS rather than from map contours this is what's expected to happen. The vertical positioning accuracy of GPS is really poor when compared to the horizontal plane positioning accuracy. This page explains it nicely.

On the other hand, you propably don't want to use altitude values pulled off google maps, since you cannot know that the user isn't airborne, as hang-gliding for example :D :D

bwalter 2013-08-20 17:53

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9, Symbian and BB10
 
That's the reason why altitude information is not yet available.

Altitude values from the Big Google Network is indeed not an option, although I guess that knowing the activity and having a toggle option would be enough to decide wether ground altitude will be used or not ;) The goal is to use the SRTM database instead and make sure that it can also be used offline. The Google Observatory method, besides requiring an internet connection to spy you, is limited in terms of number of queries.

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9, Symbian and BB10
 
Seems that MeeRun has a problem reestablishing a GPS connection after loosing it for some reason. I was cycling 4 days ~550km. To save battery power the GPS intervall was set to 10s. Sometimes GPS connection got lost and i had to start another App like GPSMeeFo to reestablish GPS because MeeRun wasn't able to do so.

Can confirm that someone other than my red A**? :D

joearchi 2013-08-23 15:42

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9, Symbian and BB10
 
Yep, same issue. Using GPSMeefo too. I've noticed it's quicker to have signal back. Or maybe it's a common placebo effect ;)

You need to swipe up on the stop button. It's a nice feature preventing the user from accidentally clicking the button while running.

Which phone are you using? There was a similar report from a Symbian user and might be related to a combination symbian/model xxx/Qt.

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9, Symbian and BB10
 
Hi, bwalter,

Thanks a lot for this application - I purchased it today and gave it a first test run (literally ;-) ), it's great to have an alternative, especially one that exports data to open formats, which is something that seems to be in decline across the board lately.

Can I make a few suggestions? Some of which you may already have, but here they go anyway:
- The lock screen should really be in the LPS screen (the one that has the clock, player controls, etc.). The rationale being that I often use the phone with a password, and I have to type it every time I want to access my training information. This isn't too much of a hassle as I can either deactivate it or just do it, however, in very cold weather when you need gloves, swiping becomes difficult if not impossible, so the LPS screen becomes the preferred place as you can see it by pressing a button.
- It would be great if the lock screen displayed the speed at which you are going, even better if you can configure what information you can have, within reason.
- I have done one training as yet, but I am suspecting that you can only export one training each time - if this is true, it'd be great if you could export everything at once.
- You mentioned in this thread that you will port this to Sailfish once you get your hands on a device - did you manage to give it a go with the SDK? At least work can get started!
- It would be fantastic if you could read other Open Street Map formats, aside from the tiles, in particular the compressed binary one. You could then import a lot easier and a lot more. Not sure whether this is too relevant, though, as I would be tempted to use MeeRun for map viewing, which isn't the intended purpose, but I thought I'd mention it as downloading tiles from OSM ends up with you having a lot of files, and you can very easily reach the limit of the file system in terms of inodes.

That's it for now, great job and keep at it!

I understand the argument with the gloves :) But for the moment, I will focus on improving the MeeRun lock screen, see next point ;)

Quote:

Yes, it is planned to support changeable fields, both for the normal screen and for the lock screen! This includes average or current speed and (maybe) altitude.

Quote:

Yes, that would be indeed much better. I also have the idea of synchronizing the trainings with a given folder (in that case, no need to import/export any more).

Quote:

Yes, work can definitely be started (and I should give it a new try, even though I have not been that lucky with the simulator so far...). In my experience, real devices are needed (especially for the GPS and filter calibration) and speed up the development quite a lot, though.

Reading the compressed binary data would be great! A lot of work though... Current priorities are audio coach, changeable fields, altitude measurement and offline maps. And afterwards, everything is possible ;)

Good feedback and ideas Gabriel! However, as knobtviker wrote earlier, ``Leave reviews guys on Nokia Store.
Best way to inform rest of users...´´

This is important for new users and testers of MeeRun.

My reply:

Quote:

Dear Mr. Jan S.,

I received your response stating I'm not eligible for refund and I find my order:

a) faulty
c) affected by technical problems

- I bought application that was removed from store
- same application is later added to store but under different number

faulty: http://store.ovi.com/content/357611
faulty: http://store.ovi.com/content/366068
current: http://store.ovi.com/content/363791

Please refund or enable downloading version 363791 that is currently in store. I have no idea what went wrong but to my knowledge store has/had 3 versions of same application and users who were early adopters cannot download current version due Nokia's removal.

I found your suggestion that I should complain to developer very unprofessional - please clean your mess (3 versions of same application).

Wish you best and eagerly waiting for your response,
****

sponka yes Twitter coz it's public. I have solved all my troubles with Ovi (but for other app) after I contact to NokiaCare and my local Nokia via Twitter only. Via e-mails I got annoying pointless conversation or simple ignoring. Be persistent and patient but don't be rude. After some conversation tweets I've got refund and I buy renew version.

berrybear 2013-09-12 21:17

Re: [Announce] MeeRun - Sport Tracking application for Nokia N9, Symbian and BB10
 
I should to clarify. It was not my idea for refund. NokiaCares by themselves gives me refund for app I can't download coz of they error (some months ago they publish apps with error to downloads and MeeRun was in this wave). So NokiaCare make me refund to take off from me.

sponka 2013-09-13 14:01

Thanks for explanation.

As for rude part -- I'm not very proud of my reaction but I'm also not sorry for my response. I work for international company that has offices all arount the world except in USA & Australia. We are in fast moving business dealing a lot face-to-face and beeing office manager I know what's fast response. It's their job to deal with customers and I'm sure my request is pretty simple -- we are not in stone age (anymore) and considering all info they require when complaint is submitted even monkey could solve ... something. Solely my opinion, of course :)
