Only app needed for any sport
As many others have said, if you run, hike, cycle, or any other numerous sports and have an Apple Watch, you have to install this. It gives it so much more functionality, so many things that people with Garmin or other watches can't even dream about.
And for the price of a beer or so, it transforms your watch. It's just smart. It's just how you would design an app to do this if all your wish lists could be put into one brilliant app.

This is the best app!
You don’t need to worry about getting another app ever, very easy to customize and has all you need.
Apple Watch Would Be Incomplete Without It
If this app didn’t exist, the Apple Watch would not be that useful for anybody who enjoys outdoor activities. Hard to believe that much of this isn’t included on the watch, but I’m glad it’s not because WOD probably does it better.
Simply Outstanding
If you want an inexpensive app ($8.99, one time payment, for life) that lets you 100% configure your watch to show exactly the data you want in the format you want it, then get a step-by-step post-run summary overlayed on a map of your run, this is the app for you. There are a million ways to configure this thing and it only took me about 10 min of playing around with it to settle on what I wanted.
For example, I do zone training, so I need heart rate at the top in big numbers. But I don’t like doing math while running, so I use the option of HR color coding by HR zone. I like to know my average speed (mph) not my pace (min/mi), and guess what? It’s an option. I like to know the steepness of the grade (eg +9%), so I selected that and which screen cell to put it. Being in CO, knowing the current elevation is very useful, too. Check. I rounded out the display with total distance and total workout time. But that’s just my take on it.
I wanted voice coaching, but not lengthy summaries that break my concentration, so I just have it ping me every 1/4 mile with my avg speed and distance covered. When running, there’s a haptic and the robot quickly says “2.5 miles, speed 6.4” in my earbuds. HR zone changes also feature a quick haptic (and the HR display changes color) so I know if I need to speed up or slow down.
There’s an onscreen map with alerts for trail waypoints. Super handy on the mazes of Front Range trails. It took just a couple of minutes to create a route in the app and send it to my watch. If I’m on a new trail, the map is handy. If I’m running a familiar favorite, I just tap the screen so I only see the metrics.
Also, I use AllTrails a lot. I can build routes there and send them to the WorkOutSide app in one step.
I haven’t used the interval workouts yet, but it seems intuitive to program those.
After the run, I can pull the workout up on the app and drag the slider to see nearly step by step metrics like pace, HR, power, zone, etc. along with the elevation profile. Visually, it’s STUNNING as the trail is overlayed with color codes like red/yellow/green reflecting slow, moderate, and faster paces at every point on the trail. As I drag the slider, a little chevron appears on the map indicating where I was on the trail.
The native Workout app on the Apple watch is fine if I just want basics, and there are screens to choose from. But for $9.00 I get every bit of data I want and it is completely configurable on my watch face. And the post run data overlayed on the map crushes the Apple Workout app.
I was intimidated by all the options at first. But once I realized that I could delete all the screens I didn’t like, then create screens I do like, including the size/readability of each, I was locked in. That intimidation lasted about 10 min. Once I learned how to configure the cells on the display, the rest of the time was just me deciding what data I needed to see while running.
There is an instruction manual, and you’ll get prompted to look at it. But honestly, I’m pretty good with tech, so it was just a matter of pushing buttons to figure things out.
This is just a runners review. But there are similar sport modes for biking, swimming, snow sports, even golf, lol.
Highly recommend!
