Rant: Bryton software

[Christopher Brunsdon]

So like many Hubbers I bought the Bryton 35 on that Groupon specia. Tonight I feel like smashing the software with a virtual hammer of Thor.

 

Was all excited to get back into the saddle tomorrow morning after a very long absence - fire up the Bryton software in IE10 on Windows8, plot my route for tomorrow and bam, its all gone.

 

When will they fix their software .... aaarrrggghhh

 

And yes, I will get a Garmin when I get some money again.

Bryton 35 HR monitor packed up within 6 months of moderate use .Got new one under warrenty .Software sucks .Garmin or suunto or polar ?

For me the software is the weak point as I'm happy with the hardware but if I had to pay full RRP, I would not be so positive about the product.

 

EDIT: Oh and I'm a web developer and very much understand what went wrong with the loading of my trip tonight. Not acceptable and it comes down to bad code.

Don't know about you guys, but my Bryton Rider 35 takes an Eternity to load data from Device to Bryton Sport. And as soon as i go to "my Collection" And wanna go back to my Device, it tells me that their is already a device connected. So then i have to Unplug my Device, close Bryton, and Start all over Again. And why is their Servers always so slow...

Bryton is launching a new version of Bryton Bridge next week, this version wil no longer use flash to connect to device and is loads faster and stable. Should you guys want to test the Beta version and give feedback send me a mail to jason@bbtrading.co.za or call 011 023 4478, Jason

Looks good Jason. I think it will work much better this way, especially now that you dont have to connect to the Internet to download your rides...

Eina.

 

Yeah I've had some annoying experiences too (with the software).... spend half an hour carefully plotting a route (using plotting points and not auto routing).... and then something crashes in the API and I have to start over.

The device works relatively fine though, no real complaints about it.

I was about to rant about that too and was not sure if it was my side. Really is not funny.

Thanks, mailing you. I really hope this is going to turn my frown upside down (OK, that was cheasy)

[Tankman]

... I will get a Garmin...

 

I keep telling you but you dont wanna hear!

Sadly a Garmin costs a tad more than the R1400 I paid for the Bryton

Looks good - as long as they keep the strava link I am happy. To be honest I had no real issues with the current except that it attaches itself to internet explorer for some reason...which is not my default browser

[Christopher Brunsdon]

My internet is funky tonight so will first test tomorrow before I give any comment.
