I'm struggling very hard not to be a whiner. I never paid for the coolrunning running log, so I don't have that much right to complain, but. . . .
How on earth could something so good turn so bad? and Is there any chance whatsoever that we'll ever have it as good?
After a little bit of tinkering around, here are the main problems I have, as a basic user:
1) Weekly totals are not readily evident
- one of the MAIN REASONS one keeps a log is to track mileage. Why isn't the mileage easily viewable? Fine, I go into <Reports> - <Training Stats> - (information that should be available in the main calendar!) and even there I can't see my total mileage for the WEEK or YEAR, only DAY and MONTH, and even then, I'm limited by a certain time frame (only one year worth of monthly totals). So many other bells and whistles, but not the very simplest feature that one expects in a training log - How many miles did I run this week? this year?
2) Personal bests? What personal bests?
- all the information about PRs has vanished, or if not, it certainly isn't as intuitively available. Where did it go? If it is available, why is it so hard to find?
3) No going back
- Stupid, stupid, stupid me - I didn't download my data before the switch. Is there anyway whatsoever to get all my old data back, in an exported file? Moreover, is there anyway to get my data NOW in an exported file? Yet another UPGRADE that actually gives us less service.
I don't want to complain for the sake of complaining, and I know this is in BETA, but when you have so long to make a transition to a new product, one would expect you could get the simplest things right. These aren't "bugs" these are fundamental failures of the simplest issues at hand. These issues came up within 1 minute of working on the new site, didn't ANY testers think - "hmmm... how can I quickly see my weekly mileage?" Unless MASSIVE CHANGES are made, and quickly, this transition will go down as a nearly complete failure, sad to say.
