I finally got the app to sync

Still need to test in the pool but great for running

Super helpful!

I really love this app! It makes it so much easier for me to create running intervals or even run x other things (I do CrossFit). When I’m doing runs and machine work or other movements I just set a long period of time for the non runs and hit next on my watch during to go to the next interval. It’s really helpful for tracking how long things take me and getting data for my specific runs. Way easier than trying to do it directly on my Apple Watch with the super tiny screen

Exactly what I needed

I really didn’t like building custom workouts in my Watch due to the small screen, so this app made it super easy, very useful. Thanks!

Nice!!!

A simple and straightforward app that serves a very useful purpose and saves time

Invaluable

This app is the only thing that makes creating custom running workouts bearable. I’d be tempted to get a Garmin and ditch the Apple Watch for workouts if it wasn’t for this app.

Missing functionality or maybe I don’t get it

I paid for the premium in app purchase for programming an interval workout to send to my apple watch. It appears the app doesn’t allow for multiple steps in a single block. For example, I want to repeat 5x: 1 minute zone 2, 1 minute zone 3, 1 minute zone 4, 3 minute recovery. The app doesn’t allow me to add more than one step to each repeat block. :(

Amazing App!

Awesome integration to my Apple Watch!! Makes workouts easy to track and will continue using it for marathon training!

Great App! Missing just one feature

I’m loving the app to build my running workouts. However I’m missing the total minutes/distance of the workout after building it.
It would be nice to have so I can control the volume of the workout!

Thanks

Lots of potential

I’m liking the app so far, lots of control for users as it’s highly configurable, but that may be overwhelming for some. I cannot believe Apple doesn’t allow this in the activity app already, configuring a run with intervals or anything else is a pain when using the tiny Apple Watch screen. Suggestion, you can’t really see the cursor in input fields. Can you make it more prominent? It’s hard to change numbers because of this.

Critical for interval workouts

Embarrassing for Apple to rely on the community for such basic functionality. It is much nice to define workouts on my phone rather than a tiny watch screen. Thank you for maintaining this tool.

We shouldn’t need this but I’m grateful it exists

It’s so weird that this app needs to exist. I paid 10 bucks so that I don’t have to stand there poking at my watch for 20 minutes. Thank you for solving this problem for me.

Shows as outdoor not indoor

Great app. However trying to add and indoor run but it defaults to outdoor when I add it to the watch. Hopefully developer can sort it.

Fantastic

Not sure why this isn’t built in- great app. Missing some helpful features such as reordering workouts, copy/pasting blocks, etc but still very useful.

Ok - not great

Paid for the app, hoping to save time with complex workouts. The app is a bit crude. I was trying to build a progressive run where each mile gets 10sec faster. Problem is, when you add each mile, the options revert each time to target being heart rate, then you switch to pace, and the default is per km and not mile. Changing these “defaults” on each work step is more work than just building the workout on the watch.

Can’t reorder blocks

Would be great if you could reorder the workout blocks. But motor, if you want to add one at the beginning, you have to re-build your entire workout. Even the watchOS app lets you reorder.

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.
