Decent app

A good tool for avoid trying to build workouts using the fiddly watch screen. In surprised Apple have not sherlocked this already! (It would be useful to be able to drag steps in a workaround around when editing)

Simple yet effective

Great app. I needed something simple to build intervals on the AW, but found the watch face small. This app bridges the gap at a very cost-effective price point. Weill done developer, I appreciate your work.

Easy to use

Great app to create workouts on iPhone then send to your Apple Watch. Makes it easier to work with than using a small screen!

Easy to use, but no indoor options

Easy to use and create custom workouts. However, when I try to create a custom indoor run and set location to indoor, it sets it up in the app as an outdoor run.

Response from developer

Hi, would you be able to send an email to workoutbuilder - at - matthewpalmer.net with a screenshot of your workout? This will help me to investigate the issue. Thank you!

Thank you

Thanks Matt. Used for first time and beats trying to build a workout on my watch face.

Works great!

Just started using this. Working as expected. So much better than creating a custom workout on the watch or screensharing the watch face.

Should be built into iOS!!

Crazy we need an app for this! Love it though. I have one request: ability set defaults. For example when I create an alert it defaults to km, when I would like it to always be mile.

Indoor Running

I do a mix of indoor and outdoor running workouts. I paid the $10 hoping indoor running was a premium option but I was wrong. Add indoor running as an option and I’ll be a happy user.

Update…It does have the indoor running now but only as a simple workout. My wish list continues…,it would be great to do advanced workouts with the indoor option.

Hi, as of iOS 18 / watchOS 11 you should be able to choose Indoor or Outdoor when you send your workout to your paired Apple Watch. Let me know how it goes :)

Great Potential!!

This app has great potential. I have not been using it very long, but I only have one critique at this time. That is to have the option to create an Indoor Cycle workout. Right now there is just an option on the App for Cycling only and when you upload it to your Apple Watch, it loads into the Outdoor Cycle activity. I have a trainer with my Trek DS bike on it using the Bontrager Duo Trap S Bluetooth device to track speed, distance and cadence and when using the Outdoor Cycle activity it did not calculate my speed and distance. When I use one of the pre installed Custom Indoor Cycle workouts on the Apple Watch it does track speed, distance and cadence.
