Why does my session get interrupted during training ?

How does Decathlon Coach work?

Apps that use messaging systems, such as emails for example, need minimal power. This isn't the case for our app, which needs to manage the GPS, processor, bluetooth, etc. in order to operate correctly. 

And “power”, means “battery life”! Of course, phone battery usage is based on the data transmitted by the app you are using.

For some brands or models, battery saving systems unexpectedly close down either the app, or some of the features, such as the GPS. This means the app "crashes" or pauses automatically so your route is inaccurate or non-existant in your summary.

So, what to do?

You simply have to disable the battery saver to take full advantage of your application. Here is a list of the most affected models and the procedures for each one. Go for it! Over to you!
