2 weeks ago it was stated āexpect to see it in the real world in a couple of weeks barring anything unforeseenā so probably a week or more.

So can we expect the voice guide agian within the next 25days? Would have to return the band otherwise and switch to polar or similar.
Thx
We donāt know. There has been no explicit timeframe given, and rarely is. All that has been said is what has been said in this thread.

Great! There used to be a trigger for alerts that was related to heart rate, will that come back as well?

Will there be a trigger for changing the pulse zone? This is the most popular use case.

Gotta Say as someone who complainedā¦ Great to see this back and with more flexible functionality that previousā¦ Kudos. Good job. I ran a 14km interval run tonight and the voice alerts were greatā¦ Set up how I wanted and help me nail down my HR effort and speed to plan. Cheers Wahoo!!!

This is an amazing update, a big improvement over the previous design and the flexibility is awesome. I donāt use a watch and depend on the audio announcements for the status of the workout. With this feature I have a report of HR and step cadence every 15 seconds, speed/pace every 60 and a more complete report every 10min.
A feature request: When multiple announcements are schedule for the same time, they may report redundant info. In this case Iād like the system to select the one with the longest interval and suppress the others. That way I can have my HR and Step rate reported ever 15 seconds, 1min report on speed and 10min that summarizes with each longer duration adding more info based on how Iāve customized it.

Audio alerts are great, but I have a really annoying issue with it on Android:
If I have multiple selections in an alert (say pace, heart rate and total time) and have music playing, it stops the music for the first alert fine but then the music starts again while the rest of the alerts continue so I canāt hear them.
Iāve tried various music players/YouTube etc and apps that have settings for audio focus but nothing works.
Iām on iOS and have not had that. I have had it set up with many alerts and the result is the music turns down until ALL the alerts are done, then turns back up.
I have 2 suggestions for you. First, contact support with your issue (even if they canāt help you, itās good for them to be able to log it). Second, you could try uninstalling the app, then reinstalling it. That often fixes things.
