What's New in RuckWell

26.9.1

September 14, 2026

On iOS 27, your heart rate zones can come straight from Apple Health. Your rucks are searchable in Spotlight, and Siri can start a saved setup. Apple Health heart rate zones If you've set up heart rate zones in Apple Health, RuckWell can use them directly, so both apps agree on what Zone 3 means. New installs start there; if you're already on a formula, we'll offer the switch once and show you exactly what changes before you take it. When Apple Health recalculates your zones, RuckWell follows, and your zone alert moves with them instead of firing at the old numbers. Requires iOS 27. Zones recorded with the workout RuckWell hands your zones to Apple Health before a workout starts, so your time in each zone is recorded under your zones rather than a default set. Every saved ruck also stores the zones it was recorded under, so older workouts keep reading correctly after you change them. A clearer custom zone editor Building your own zones now works zone by zone, each one bounded by its neighbours, instead of editing a list of raw thresholds. Formula descriptions moved below the picker, and the whole formula row is tappable. Find any ruck from Spotlight Your workouts are indexed in Spotlight. Search a title, a date, or an activity from the Home Screen and tap straight into the workout. Start a saved setup with Siri Your saved workout setups are available to Shortcuts and Siri, pack, activity and goal included, so a full ruck starts from one phrase or a shortcut. Fixes • Faster, more reliable syncing of your latest settings between phone and watch • Stability improvements for iOS 27 • Minor UI improvements • General bug fixes

Bad program

I loved it until the app automatically changed over to the companies other app. That’s a stretching app. Looks like some way to market, Forcing you into one of their other apps. Now I can’t get my work back. Very frustrating. Do not buy, do not download.

Doesnt record properly

Every time I use the app it stops mid ruck and doesn’t record the whole distance

Good rucking supplement but buggy

Since neither Apple Fitness nor Strava seem to have noticed the huge popularity of rucking, I have begun using RuckWell as a supplement to track my loads. The UI is clean and streamlined, however the lack of QoL options in at least the basic membership makes me wonder if I will use this long term or not.
Having already a paid membership for Strava, I feel it’s lousy to ask that you become a premium member just so you can sync RuckWell with your Strava account.
I also noticed that my calories were counted twice on Apple Fitness today after a ruck. This has never happened in the 3 years I have owned an Apple Watch and can only presume it was caused by tethering the RuckWell app to my watch.
I will give the app a shot but if bugs like this persist, I will be looking elsewhere to track my workouts.

It’s hard work to use

Stats are wrong

It’s been doubling up my rucks and pushing incorrect data to Strava.
