What's New in Workout Live

1.23

September 7, 2026

Workout Live now speaks your language. - The app is translated into German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Simplified Chinese, alongside English. - First launch now asks your age, so your heart rate zones are right from the start. You can still set them by hand in Settings. - Onboarding is clearer that Workout Live records the workout itself: start it in Workout Live on your Apple Watch and keep the app open on your iPhone. - Fixed pausing a workout clearing the workout type, times and elapsed time from the iPhone. - Live metrics no longer freeze or jump backwards when your Apple Watch and iPhone briefly lose contact. - Your workout summary reaches the iPhone even if the devices were out of range when you finished, and an old summary can no longer reappear. - A failed save to Health is reported clearly instead of showing an empty summary.

Impossible to use

Age is fixed at 20 years and the app keeps disconnecting thus making it unable to do what was designed for.

Just what I was looking for

I spent a couple of weeks on and off looking for an app that would save me continuously checking my watch when trying to use my cross trainer. Silly as it sounds I’m using it for cardio so heart rate is important and constantly taking my hand off the machine to flick my wrist and wait for the heart rate to display was annoying. I looked in loads of places for a heart rate monitor that could be displayed permanently during my exercise period. Long story short this is a gem on a find. Syncs seamlessly with my Apple Watch, displays the heart rate and where I am on the cardio scale, which is set for my age group. Stays open while I’m using it so the checks are instant, even has a guess at the calories burnt ( needs to tweak that up a bit ;) All round exactly what I needed and I paid Β£1.99, I had been considering Β£100 for a decent chest strap and App.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to leave this - for a small app it makes a real difference. Keeping Workout Live simple and readable at arm's length is the whole design brief, so hearing that it works is the best feedback we get. If you ever hit something that does not behave, we would rather hear about it than lose you: https://www.anh-app.com/workout-live/troubleshooting.

Great for live HR monitoring.

Great app for monitoring heart rate live on full screen. Works well with Apple Watch. Need to sort out saving the heart rate zones to make it complete.

Bad Experience

Apple should not allow anyone to sell app without trial period. This app does not deliver what it promised. Useless.

Stupid app
