Where has this been all my life? I was a diehard paying Runkeeper user for 10+ years but watched it steadily stagnate over the past few years (don't even get me started on their buggy Apple Watch app). I tried Strava five different times over the course of several years but kept getting annoyed by the appallingly limited utility it offers serious runners and how insipidly dumb the whole social self-promotion component of it was. Tried the default Apple Watch Activities app, which to its credit, at least worked consistently and wasn't as bug riddled as the other running apps, but kept bumping into customization limitations, especially with the layout of the Watch app screens. Tried Nike Run Club twice and was instantly turned off by the social aspect and the dumb inspirational coaching. Finally found this app through some Reddit and Quora discussions and decided to give it a try. WOW! I'm only about a month into using it, but I'm still blown away by all the customization capabilities. This is clearly an app developed by serious runners for runners, not by the marketing department of a lifestyle brand. I've only begun to scratch the surface of what this app does, and to be fair, it's daunting, but I'll be darned if it isn't exactly what I've been looking for all these years but didn't even know it.Show lessdmanFC18
Clearly a Labor of Love
This is the best app to record your workouts and the best part is that it’s not a subscription. Do yourself a favor and buy it. If you’ve gotten this far, you won’t regret it.
Also, don’t let the ostensible complexity scare you off. I’m 40 and I figured out how to customize everything in a surprisingly little amount of time. That said, I’ve spent the last hour playing around with the countless different options just because it’s so much fun. The app is just so polished.
(My cheapo optical heart-rate monitor synced up with no issues—having an accurate heart-rate makes all the difference in tracking your workout, I recommend that too, if you don’t already have one, the heart-rate readings from Apple Watch are not great.)Show lessJthorp
Incredible App with Apple Watch Ultra
This is just an incredible app for mapping your exercise and gathering data about the workouts you are doing.
I am astonished at how customizable the screens and the controls (like the Action Button) are. You can have as little or as much data as you wish, right there on your wrist.
The maps are detailed, and extremely useful. The app also helps you see your calories that you are accruing towards your Move, Exercise, and Stand Rings.
I’m excited to get out on the water with my iSUP this afternoon since this app tracks exercises involving paddling, with GPS data - a feature that isn’t standard on the Apple Workouts base software.
I was confused this morning (a Sunday morning) about a difference I was seeing between the calories WorkOutDoors was showing that I burned and what the Move Ring was showing so I emailed the developer. Within MINUTES (on a Sunday morning, mind you) he had responded and told me how to change the data displayed to give me exactly what I was looking for. (I had the screen set on total calories burned and not Active Calories)
I can’t say enough good about this app. The price is right and the functionality is incredible. Easy purchase if you have an Apple Watch Ultra.Show lessSupportByFire
