Send to + close workout

I’ve two feature requests for the App:

  1. It would be nice that the “send to” button reminds the last choices. I always send to TrainingPeaks, but first option is always Garmin.

  2. When we open a workout it opens a sort of popup that can be closed only tapping on the X icon on the top right corner. It’s quite annoying that we can’t close it with the Back button.

That’s it :slight_smile:

Oh for sure on #1… I thought it used to do this on the website, maybe it does but the app needs this and it’s easy.

On #2 what back button? I don’t have one on any of my 3 phones :slight_smile: This might be more of a rare case that people have an extra button for back.

ok for #1

for #2 I mean the virtual back button we’ve on our mobile phones:

I don’t have this virtual back button… But I am mostly IOS user but don’t have it on my Pixel either and I don’t think I see it on my samsung either. This is only for some manufactures I think and also something that can be turned off I believe or is off by default. For sure not an Apple thing.

I don’t know I had it on my Samsung S6, S20 and now S23. I see it on Redmi Note also.

for your devs:

Since 50% of our users are Apple and 25% probably don’t see it (meaning I just checked and neither of my Android phones show it). Doing something rather small for a relatively small inconvenience and 25% of our users makes less sense :slight_smile: We have a million things that are very important to most users to do.

But it’s fine to ask… I like to be transparent in my thinking and it for sure happens that I can be wrong.

perhaps on your phone you can do other gestures to “go back” to the previous page. It’s very strange. Samsung Galaxy phones are the mostly sold android phones.

It’s also very easy to implement.

In my company we also developed an app and in the beginning the virtual back button was not working properly and we received lot of complaints. I can’t figure out why those virtual buttons are not visible on your android phones.

I’m suggesting this because the back button is basically close to the thumb that you also use to keep your phone in the hands. It’s the fastest way to close a window and go back. Tapping on the “X” requires to change the position of the phone in the hands and it’s a little bit less pleasant experience.

Anyway, my 2 cents. I’m trying to give suggestions based on my experience in building user interfaces :slight_smile:

Sure, we have hundreds if not thousands of “small” things but we are a small team so even small things need to be prioritized based on the number of users affected and how big of problem or how valuable a feature it is. Usually if there is another way to do something that is not too inconvienient we lower it. We could spend our whole time just doing small things and never do anything big… But on the flip side one of our highest goals is improving UX but again we have huge amount of work to do, especially related to the new user experience.

I totally agree @Alex - this is the right way to work.

thank you for your time
