What's New in Workout Live

1.28

October 10, 2026

START AND END FROM YOUR IPHONE Tap Start on Apple Watch, choose a workout, and Workout Live starts it on your watch. When you're done, tap End Workout on your iPhone to end and save it on your watch. ONE-TAP WORKOUTS ON YOUR WATCH FACE Put any workout on your watch face and start it with one tap. Running, cycling, hand cycling, walking and rowing come as Outdoor and Indoor versions. Requires watchOS 10.2 or later. ROUTE MAPS Outdoor runs, walks, rides, hand cycling and rowing now save their GPS route with the workout, so Apple Fitness can show the map. ZONE CHANGE ALERTS Feel a tap on your wrist when your heart rate moves into a different zone. Turn it on in Settings > Heart Rate Zones. ZONES FROM YOUR RESTING HEART RATE Base your zones on your resting heart rate from Apple Health: Settings > Heart Rate Zones > Use Resting Heart Rate. ALSO IN THIS RELEASE - Double tap to pause and resume, on Apple Watch models that support the gesture with watchOS 11 or later. Turn it on in Settings > User Interface > Double Tap to Pause. - Your watch shows the heart rate zone as text, not only as a color. - The workout list on your watch has an icon for every workout. - Arabic numbers now use one digit system throughout. - Fixes for the connection status and for live mirroring after the watch app restarts.

Excellent Experience

The app is now updated and delivers what it promises. Very simple to use. Helps me monitor my heat rate on mobile phone, mirroring my Apple Watch.

Response from developer

Thank you for coming back and updating this - that is a better outcome than a first review could ever be. You told us plainly when Workout Live did not work for you, and that was fair. The watch-to-phone connection and the workout state handling were reworked because of reviews like yours, so reading that the app now delivers what it promises is exactly what we were hoping for. If anything slips again, we are at https://www.anh-app.com/workout-live/troubleshooting - we would much rather hear about it than lose you.

Impossible to use

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

Response from developer

Both of those are fixed in the latest update. Workout Live now asks for your age the first time you open it and derives your heart-rate zones from it, so the zones match you rather than a default. If you would rather set the boundaries yourself, manual zones are still there in Settings and are kept. The disconnecting was a genuine bug in how Workout Live handled the watch connection and the workout state, and that has been reworked rather than patched. Thank you for saying plainly what was wrong - it is why both of these changed.

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.

Response from developer

Saving the heart rate zones is sorted. There was a real bug where dragging one boundary of a zone saved only that one field and lost the rest, and that is fixed. Workout Live also asks for your age on first launch now and derives your zones from it, so they match you from the start, and manual zones in Settings are kept if you would rather set them yourself. The latest update also adds how long the workout has spent in each heart rate zone, live while you train and as a full breakdown on your summary. Thank you - "need to sort out saving the zones" was an accurate bug report, and it got sorted.

Bad Experience

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