### 1/5 — Pas fiable en l’état

*2026-08-10*

Il faut ouvrir l’appli, puis penser à connecter la montre avant le lancement de l’activité via Live T de la montre, attendre la connexion puis lancer l’activité … ensuite la montre se déconnecte de l’appli dès la perte de réseau et comme la reconnexion ne se fait pas automatiquement… il faut tout recommencer en relançant bien sûr une nouvelle activité… vous trouvez ça simple et efficace ?
Allez encore un effort les développeurs 🙏 après plusieurs essais même en zone couverte par le reseau se déconnecte… appli parfaitement inutile. Je désinstalle 🤪

### 1/5 — fonctionne pas

*2026-07-26*

l’appli ne détecte même pas la montre, ne marche pas

### 1/5 — Application Inutile et non respectueuse de nos choix !

*2026-07-18*

D’une part n’est pas en Français, d’autre part n’envoie pas de SMS SOS malgré l’enregistrement d’un contact ! Propose de sélectionner que quelque contacts mais impossible de les. L’aider dans l’application. Obligée de donner accès à TOUS vos contacts. Donc ne sert à rien. Vive Garmin !!

### 1/5 — Application Inutile

*2026-01-09*

D’une part n’est pas en Français, d’autre part n’envoie pas de SMS SOS malgré l’enregistrement d’un contact ! Donc ne sert à rien. Vive Garmin !!

### 5/5 — Adds live tracking to Suunto watches!

*2025-10-15*

Have this installed and used with my Vertical and Race 2 and it is a great addition to the Suunto ecosystem. You need to install the Suunto+ app on your watch and enable it for the activity you want to have live tracking. Then use this app to pair the watch so it tracks and can send information to your specified contacts. Also allows an SOS send if needed.

### 3/5 — Suivi figé lors de perte réseau

*2025-10-05*

L’application semble prometteuse.

Il y aurai juste un cas de bug a améliorer : lorsque j’ai testé la première fois l’app, j’ai fait une sortie trail de 4h30, en montagne. J’ai eu une perte de réseau temporaire (chose fréquente en montagne). Et ça a simplement figé le suivi live, aucune possibilité de remettre à jour les données de déplacement une fois le réseau retrouvé.

La feature SuuntoPlus est jeune, j’imagine que ça sera prochainement corrigé. 

En tout cas sur le principe c’est très très utile, pour tenir informer les proches en skimo, trail, alpinisme ! Merci !

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-09-10*

Gave it all the permissions, watch is paired to my phone but it can’t connect and errors out with not found every time.

### 5/5 — Congratulations

*2025-07-29*

Works very well. No battery over consomption

### 5/5 — Enfin un suivi live !

*2025-06-21*

Bravo pour cette appli qui permet de partager en live la position et certaines valeurs. Je vais tester ce we sur un trail si cela impacte la batterie et vérifier si ce qui est annoncé par le développeur se révèle exact .

### 5/5 — Cool

*2025-06-19*

Pas encore testé mais sur le fond je trouve ça cool et sécuritaire quand on part en rando seul.
