I spend a lot of time in wilderness areas that I don't know, and I simply pull my phone out of my pocket to see where I am. My watch measures my heart rate and that's it. While I have no doubt that pedometer++ is great and the work that went into it is impressive, I can't really see myself switching away from a big screen workflow to see exactly where I am. And I don't need to check where I am every 5 minutes. Typically only every 30 minutes or longer. Dunno, maybe I'm missing something :shrug:

While traveling in another country, I once forgot my iPhone passcode (don't ask, I'm autistic like that)

After a few retries it put me on a 2 hour timeout.

I had to get back to my room. I knew the way back on foot well enough, about 30 minutes away, but I wanted to take a look at the map anyway.

I thought I'd try it on my Apple Watch Ultra 3. It was a few months ago so it was the latest OS.

There were a few bugs in trying to do that simple task, like when typing out the name of a location the keyboard kept disappearing as if the UI was crashing or something.

I sighed, muttered a few curses at the state of things and the people in charge who let it get this way, and lowered my wrist and just enjoyed the stroll.

Like so many things in Apple software since the past 5 or so years, so much shit just doesn't work when you REALLY need it. F'n hell

Awesome work, truly. (But I'll stick with my Garmin.)

And it's a f:ing subscription delete
