lerouc Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Not with Tapiriik involved... ja got my strava to sync to garmin, but the stupid discovery app does not want to link to my garmin account now. dracs 1
VicanZA Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I see discovery are dropping data from strava! Along with most other apps..
lerouc Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Why dont these people rather sort out their current app that does not work before trying to screw everyone out of their weekly points.
lerouc Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I see discovery are dropping data from strava! Along with most other apps..ja basically if you dont have a polar or garmin you have to jump through hoops to get your data into discovery. Maybe it is a good excuse to buy a garmin.
VicanZA Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 They forcing us to buy another device.. My wahoo HR strap and cadence sensor will not work with a garmin.
VicanZA Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Just checked looks like the wahoo will do just fine wahoo app uploads data to garmin connect... BOOM! nonky 1
DeRosaKing Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I really felt demotivated with the low weekly targets. 600 points per week target when a single 2-hour bike ride gave me 3000 points meant I just did not want to train. So I am really looking forward to the 10'000 point weekly targets I expect to be implemented around June.
Muttley Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Not sure if this has been shared but:http://www.htxt.co.za/2016/03/02/discovery-vitality-drops-strava-runkeeper-and-mapmyfitness-from-active-rewards/ Grates me that I now need to spend more money on a device... Grr
Blu82 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 The have also removed swimming from the list making devices that log your swimming like the Garmin Swim useless which is going to cost me at least 600 points a week for my two 1 hour workouts.
Oxter Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Dont be surprised if you see people on your club ride klapping the speed for 30min, saving the activety and then going about the ride as per normal
TheBritishTwit Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) Why doesn't Discovery check to see if there is GPS activity during the exercise when receiving data from Strava, at least then they will be able to confirm that the person did the activity instead of just pretending by manually creating a ride. I agree with the points change as many do on this thread, I just think that they should have gone back to a similar points system to the one they had last year. For someone like me, I struggle getting my heart rate to 80 % let alone trying to maintain it there for extended periods of time, so I will always only get a maximum of 300 per ride... Also should Discovery only work for certain devices then Discovery should sell those devices at a discounted rate dependent on your status (silver, gold, diamond etc). this would then be similar to what Momentum is offering.

GSG Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I don't know if this has been brought up.I use a garmin edge 500 and strava when riding. I could never get my heart rate to link on strava. Last night when I started strava up boom it showed my heart rate, not accurate but its there all of a sudden. Not a complaint just an observation. Anyone know how it would have happened, more curious...

HR will then be on strava worriesnot 1
