Awesome for hiking!
Awesome app that I use on my Apple watch when backcountry hiking. Very customizable and extremely reliable. I’ve never had a crash when I’m out on the trails.
Best workout app of all time
I have never left a review for an app until now. This is by far the best workout app I have ever used. The amount of customization and settings you can choose from is amazing. I use this app almost everyday, and I will never be using another app to track my workouts again.
Thank you Ian for creating such an outstanding app!!!!

What Apple should have created!!
The most comprehensive activity tracker on the Apple ecosystem. It’s been my go to for running, cycling, football.. kudos to the developer for continuing to update and honing the metrics and usability of this app.
Go ahead and download it and please consider tipping them now and again to show some appreciation!
Keep up the good work.

Please fix
Cycling Active calories are at least 20% higher bs Garmin and Apple Watch. Same sensors. Also cycling sensors are not immediately connecting via Bluetooth. Buggy. Love everything else.
Brilliant
Been using the App since 2019 and is superb. Without doubt the best if you’re the outdoor type, as I am. You can plan your hiking route beforehand and upload or log a walk spontaneously. Has all the metrics you could possibly want
Reliable App
After initial hurdles in working out how everything worked WorkOuDoors has proved an excellent app for walking hiking and biking giving very detailed results plus good alerts during exercise. Another plus is the low battery usage compared to Strava. Highly recommended.
Hiking
I’ve used this app for several years and over the last two years have used it on The Great Divide Trail. If you take the time to adjust settings, it can be tuned to provide detailed information on all aspects of your hike. Load gpx files to your Apple Watch Ultra and it finally lives up to what the watch can do. It can alert tiu to the start of a big climb with elevation , grades and distances, you’ll love it when it tells you the climb has ended.

Useless for bicycle
In 7 years this app exists and asks for a payment, out of all the options and features this has, developers still haven’t thought of an obvious fact that you don’t look at your tiny watch screen during a 40kmph ride. No data on the iPhone screen. Hoping for a refund from Apple…
Fantastic!
Incredible and actually fully free!
Perfectly powerful
Use it for cycling and it’s magic.
Apple needs to by this as an adventure mode on the ultra.
Brilliant app, this app makes more of the Apple Watch ultra hardware than Apple themselves make of the hardware, how they have not acquired this company that has made the app is beyond me as this is the single piece that the Apple Watch Ultra has been missing, I’ve had the Garmin watch and with this app my Apple Watch ultra with apples ecosystem combined with this app well out perform and proves more useful than the Garmin watch, you wouldn’t need anything else. All you need is a tiny battery pack if you need to top up the charge, but I just done s full days hike using the GPS and maps on my watch for 5 hours straight and still had 67% battery life left, if I was going out another day for a long full hike I’d only need a small top up. Apple buy this.

Exceptional
Provides all the required features for any trail runner out there (and more). Switched to this over a combination of Apple Workout and Strava. Customisation is second to none. I’ll now also recommend this to any athletes I work with due to these features. Also had a question about integrations with other apps and via email the reply was almost instant and thoroughly detailed. You won’t regret any part of purchasing this app.

Excellent in iPhone & Apple Watch
It is very easy to send maps directly from other apps on iPhone to WorkOutDoors. Then I use the map on my Apple Watch while Hiking.
Pour m’entraîner
J’adore vraiment bien fais juste en anglais mais on se retrouve facilement
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!

Top tier app
This app is amazing. One of the best (if not the best) apps on my Apple Watch. I get such great information from it and I only use a fraction of the available options. I just love it.
Does a million things — most terribly
Simplify the app! Make it more responsive.
