Nordic Sports is in beta; there is no version 1 yet, and we are stabilising the app with testers. New in this beta: guided intervals, strength logging, data fields chosen per sport, a chest strap check with its battery level, and French, Italian, Swiss German, Romansh, Norwegian, Finnish and Swedish (full version). The hand-over to the Companion app is more reliable and now also works on Forerunner 55/245, fēnix 6/6S and Enduro, which run a trimmed version that fits their memory. Technique detection stays experimental. The Android Companion app is offered as a test version in Google Play.
