Several requests for ErgData

Post by KenMoore » July 11th, 2022, 3:12 pm

  • Before you deploy a new major version, or any version that changes app behaviors, send an announcement email to affected users.
  • Add Drive Length and # of Strokes to one of the workout screens. Those were available in the prior version of the app.
  • Add a customizable workout screen. Start with letting the user pick from several templates and then let them put any data field in each screen field.
  • It's not clear how to end a workout and not save anything. While trying to learn the new app, I would have like to have a Discard Workout added to the "Save..., Resume" menu.
  • The workout screen that shows two graphs needs vertical axis labels.

Does C2 even have this data? For European users, such an action violates the GDPR, which results in hefty fines.

Looking at the Drive Length at every training, was in there since the beta I use. You can change most fields displayed to your liking.

The app does that...

I agree with you on that one.

C2 has this data for people who bought a product directly from them, like I did. They have my email and where I live. I'm pretty sure there isn't a GDPR issue with sending new product notifications to existing customers, especially if the default is off and customers can opt-out after opting in. I get new product/feature email messages like these from Apple, Microsoft, Garmin, Strava, etc., so C2 ought to be able to do the same. (I don't live in an EU region.)

Yes, I found it - thank you. It would be great if any screen field (including the graphs) could display any data field.

GDPR makes a big issue of it, and rightfully so. Buying a product does not give a retailer to start emailing about product features etc. That has to be done by explicit opt-in. Above this, outside the US, you buy from certified retailers, so they don't have any access to these customers.

Totally agree with this. I'd like to replicate having the six square fields that were on the old version on a seven screen.

Also:

On the 12 field screen the numbers are very small. Can only read them when I'm at the catch.

What about dark mode? Do most of my rowing very early morning before the sun is up. Somewhat bright having a white screen staring back at me.
