Hi Miguel, Sorry it's not working for you. It should be, though, as no change was made for the 520+ in the last update. Can you try uninstalling the app and re-installing it? Use the Contact Developer link on the right of this page and we'll get to the bottom of this.

Thanks for the feedback. I can confirm that Training Power does actually work on the Fenix 7 series. I sent you an email asking for more information as I can't tell what the problem is from your description. For example, are you on the latest Fenix 7 firmware? Can you download TrainingPower from the Connect IQ app store onto your Fenix7? Do you have a power meter? Is it connected to your Fenix 7 device? Can you see power readings in the native garmin datafields? What do you see on the app? Have you got the right settings set?

Hi Cedric, sorry to hear you're having trouble. If you would like some help to try and find out why this isn't working for you, please use the contact developer link. Rest assured though, the power averaging calculations performed by the App are correct, but there are a few external factors that may be causing an issue for you.

Thanks for the review. It's great that you want to see the new circles mode on the 820 device. Good news! It's done. Update to the latest version (1.7.2.0) and the new circles mode is available for Edge 820 / 520+ in 2 field configuration mode.

Hi there, thanks for reaching out. Are you able to pair your smart trainer with your garmin device? If so, can you see power in the standard garmin power datafields? My app just picks up power data from the activity, so as long as it's paired and the power data appears in the activity, then it should be fine. contact me directly and we'll see if we can get to the bottom of it.

I’ve thought about adding that functionality before. Unfortunately, garmin don’t make it easy as there’s no inbuilt lap data for power - I have to manually calculate it and respond to the lap button. Because of that I struggled to convince myself lap data was useful. How would you use lap data? The problem I see with displaying Lap Average power is that it’s only an average for the current lap and once you’ve pressed the lap button, you will forever see LAP average power for that activity. What if I want to see average power for the whole activity again? I’ve previously thought about coding the app for this approach: If I’m out riding and get to the bottom of a hill, I’d like to press the lap button and have the app start displaying average power for that lap. When I get to the top of the hill I want to press the lap button again and have the app resume displaying power average across the whole activity. This way you can see your average power on the climb (or whatever segment you’ve chosen), but then be able to revert back to displaying activity average power. I even went so far to test this in the app, but decided it wasn’t that useful in the end, so removed it. It’s a constant struggle with memory limitations on my device (Edge520), so I don’t like leaving stuff in there that won’t be used. But I could be convinced otherwise…

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. It's fixed in v1.6.4.2. Cheers.

Hi MIN, thanks for the great feedback and review. I understand exactly what you're saying about the text being too small, there's a lot of info to display. Unfortunately, the Edge 520/820 have small screens anyway, so it's hard to fit larger fonts in. Providing different screen configurations is also difficult as the 520/820 also has limited memory capacity available for each CIQ app. The upshot is, there's not a lot I can do about it unfortunately. I'm in the same boat as you. I'd love to buy an edge 1030, but can't justify the cost. Ironically, there's also more memory available in the 1030 and more screen available to do larger fonts and different layouts!!

Thanks for the feedback. Personally, I’m not convinced of the merits of a specific cadence data field, but I’m happy to be convinced otherwise, if enough people think it might be useful… What data would you like to see?

Hi Loukas, Can you please send me a screen shot? Also, Can you please check the app settings and see what the two values for the Text Offset X & Y are? If they are anything other than zero (for both), can you try setting both to zero and see how that looks? If you do this from your phone whilst connected to your device you should be able to see the changes straight away. Thanks.

Hi Loukas, thanks for the feedback and review. I know what you mean. I chopped and changed on that one a few times. To me the W Prime percentage figure wasn't as important as seeing the visual indication provided by the bar (or the circles in the circles view), so I made the percentage figure smaller. But, I can understand your POV, so I think I might provide the choice of two options in the settings page: option 1 - display W Prime value on left, W/Kg value on right (default, as is now). option 2 - display W/Kg value on left, W Prime value on right. I can't give a timeline as to when this might happen - depends whether any issues are found with the current version or if there's any more feature requests, that sort of thing, but I don't see why it couldn't be in the next release. Cheers.
