What's New in RuckWell

26.10.1

October 18, 2026

This update is all about reliability: fewer crashes, more accurate saves, and smoother syncing between your iPhone, Apple Watch and iCloud. • Fixed an issue where some rucks recorded on Apple Watch showed up on iPhone without their map. • Fixed an issue where VO₂ Max Protection rucks on Apple Watch saved a shorter distance than you saw during your workout. • Workouts with heart rate zones that didn't sync to iCloud in the last update now sync automatically. No action needed. • Fixed an occasional bug where workouts recorded on iPhone were saved without their heart rate zones or elevation gain. • Exporting a workout as FIT or GPX now shows progress and tells you if something goes wrong, instead of sharing an empty file. • Fixed Apple Watch crashes when syncing in the background on watchOS 27 and after changing workout settings on your iPhone. • iCloud sync is more efficient. Thanks for rucking with RuckWell! If something isn't working right, let us know from Settings.

Great concept- terrible results

This app has te perfect amount of information and easy to read content- HOWEVER - it stops tracking and concludes your ruck after 10 minutes. I have done everything possible in the settings, down loading, reinstalling it, with no change. No point is using it.

Like it but…

I really like how simple this app is. Straight and to the point. But for some reason it doesn’t write to Apple Health properly, dropping all mileage before the decimal. So if I ruck 1.5 miles, it only writes .5 to Health. A bummer since I use Health as a focal point for so much health and fitness tracking.

Does what I got it for…

I got this app to record my rucks into Apple Health which it does well. The rest of the app doesn’t seem to work as it should. Data is slow to upload and there a lot of missing or incomplete data points. The RuckLoad doesn’t seem to work at all
