This could be a great app!
This is one of the most visually appealing fitness apps I’ve used!
The interface is clean, modern, colorful, and does an excellent job presenting workout data. I also appreciate how much information is available—from training load and endurance fitness to heart rate zones and workout trends.
My biggest criticism is that the app often assumes users already understand advanced exercise physiology.
For example, labels like “Low Aerobic Shortage,” “High Aerobic,” and “Anaerobic” are presented without enough explanation of how the app defines those terms. During one of my indoor walking workouts, the app classified 67% of the session as anaerobic, which seemed surprising for a steady 50-minute walk. Whether the app is correct or not isn’t really the issue—the issue is that it never explains why it reached that conclusion.
I would love to see each metric include a brief explanation answering three simple questions:
• What does this metric measure?
• Why did I receive this result?
• What can I do to improve it?
Even something as simple as a tappable “Learn More” button beneath each chart would dramatically improve the experience. The app already excels at collecting and displaying data; now it needs to excel at helping users understand what that data means.
Overall, this is one of the most promising fitness apps I’ve tried. With clearer explanations and more educational context, I think it could become one of the best fitness platforms available.

More features and google health integration
Missing lot of features like strain, recovery, sleep score and stress details important one Google health and fit but air integration. Also need weight body metric standards.
Nice app and modern interface
Waiting for it to mature now
Response from developer
Hi! Noted. We are now working with twice the speed😉. Thanks for your help. Vid
Grundsätzlich super Idee
Anfangs fand ich die App wirklich super. Mittlerweile habe ich festgestellt, dass die Daten aber nicht stimmen. Die Herzfrequenz im Schlaf sowie die Herzfrequenzvariabilität stimmen nie mit den tatsächlichen Daten im Handy überein und werden jedes Mal schlechter dargestellt wie sie eigentlich sind.
Mittlerweile leider ein Grund, die App zu deinstallieren.

Rlly good
Gives great insights on training load sleep etc even on the free plan much simpler to use then the health app
睡眠时长太捞了
不知道你们从哪拿的我睡眠时长，根本对不上，午睡的数据也没有，跟apple健康差天远，
Response from developer
Hi! What you're experiencing can happen if there are multiple sleep data sources writing different or conflicting data into Health. I'm happy to look into that and help you set it up correctly. Please drop by support@theoutsiders.app. Thanks, Vid
Phenomenon
Absolutely I love this app. Would it be possible to bring back the steps tile on the Home Screen. The only thing from keeping me from choosing it over Gentler Streak.
useful
now i understand why sometimes all workouts feel bad, its because i am overtraining and raising load too fast.
Grrrreeeaaatttt!
It’s a more advanced version of Gentler Streak, my favorite fitness tracking app for the past few years. I like how it lets you dive deeper into statistics
Pay to Play, missing integration
There’s no trial, the “premium” buttons clutter the interface to a point of being unusable and there’s no integration apart from Apple Health and Garmin. The developer expects me to pay upfront, not take my training history with me and for that privilege doesn’t even offer ecosystem integration.
This is not an app for a “serious athlete”, this is an Apple-ified take on what someone believes a serious athlete to be. It’s a toy dressing itself up in adult clothes, hair gel and lipstick. If it actually was, it’d feature integrations with Polar, Coros and Suunto as well as an extensive list of third-party services – even as read-only. Requiring Apple Health as an intermediary is antithetical to the stated “on device only” idea.
It’s probably meant as an add-on for Apple watch users to provide training insights Apple itself doesn’t care enough to pursue. But I couldn’t test that, because there’s no trial and no integration apart from Apple Health and Garmin.
Without adaptive training plans and corresponding ecosystem sync, it’s also little more than a pretty dashboard of values any “serious athlete” already knows how to interpret. If that’s what you’re looking for, go for it. As an actual, useful training tool it’s sadly rather pointless.

The missing app
This app is exactly what I’ve been missing. Apples Close your rings is fine for everyday activity. But as a runner and cyclist this is the missing link. No social disturbances. No bloated data overview. Just the data you need presented in a very beautiful and easy to work with format. Finally I’m using my data to push my self instead of just meaningless statistics.
Well done!!
Well done!!

Congrats on the ADA
deserved
Response from developer
Thank you ☺️🙏 Kind regards, Vid
Good for cardio and HIIT exercises only
It does not capture the exertion levels for strength training exercises well. Something the team needs to look into.
Love it all
Great app with guidance and now Garmin integration. I would love if Suunto was introduced as another brand to integrate!
The app I’ve been looking for
They did it, this is exactly what I wanted. Straightforward training readiness based on my Apple Watch’s overnight metrics (including HRV), along with training load analysis without being in your face or trying to tell you what workout to do. The new widgets are the icing on the cake!
Solide
Einfache solide app, die macht was sie sagt! Grade die über den Tag aktualisierte Angabe bezüglich der Recovery ist gold wert
Useful, Segment Leader!
This app provides information that no other app (which is not associated with a fitness tracking watch) provides. The training readiness and goals feature is really useful.
The UI/UX both are very thoughtfully made. This app deserves all the recognition for the work that the developers are doing.

Beautiful and clean
very nice and clean UI. I like the overviews and it’s the perfect combo with Gentler Streak!
I don’t quite get the app logo yet, but maybe I am just blind👀

Absolutely love the design of the app
Have been a fan of its sister app: Gentler Streak. And a similar if not better design quality has been followed through in this app as well.
The best gets better
If you love Gentler Streak, you already know this development team excels at creating beautiful, compassionate, and beautifully designed apps. The Outsiders is no exception. It brings that same gorgeous, signature illustration style and user-first philosophy to outdoor tracking.
