WorkOutDoors vs res

WorkOutDoors is the most advanced and most configurable workout app for the Apple Watch. It's perfect for running, cycling, hiking and any other indoor or outdoor activity. Note: WorkOutDoors requires an Apple Watch Series 4 or later. It is not necessary to have your iPhone with you during a workout. The app uses Apple’s workout system, so all workouts are saved to the Health system. However it also provides many extra features over Apple's app, such as: - a super-smooth vector map that can be shown during a workout; - multiple configurable screens with metrics and graphs from a pool of 800+ data fields; - route files can be imported and used for navigation (including turn by turn directions); - dozens of configurable alerts (e.g. every mile; high heart rate; low pace; off-route etc); - interval schedules can be created using the larger screen of the phone app; - climbs and descents are supported with notifications and on-screen data and graphs; - waypoints can be created, navigated to, and exported; - use shortcuts to associate operations with gestures (e.g. double tap to hear configurable metrics); - compare pace against a target or a previous workout (using metrics and a dot on the map); - show zones for pace and power as well as heart rate (with optional coloured backgrounds); - auto-pause is available for all outdoor activities; - shows GPS and heart rate before starting a workout, so that you can wait for good signals; - configure distance and pace for running / walking to come from Apple’s pedometer or from GPS; - workouts can be exported in FIT / TCX / GPX files, or automatically sent to Strava; - workouts created by the app can be analysed in great depth in the iPhone app. The app also has many more features. The map is a particular highlight. It uses OpenStreetMap, which provides worldwide coverage and includes the trails necessary for outdoor workouts. It also has several features that help you navigate during a workout: - maps can be smoothly panned and zoomed, and can rotate according to the compass; - a breadcrumb trail of your whole route is displayed on the map during the workout; - topographic data can be shown, with configurable contour colours and hill shading; - map-only mode is provided for when you don't want to start a workout and just need a map; - a circular scale is shown when you zoom, making it easy to see the distance to features; - maps can be stored on the watch for use when offline (they are downloaded as required if online); - a red compass points north and a green compass points to the start; - choose a waypoint to see a compass and distance to it in the corner of the map; - you can also navigate to waypoints on the map, such as hospitals, sights, cafes etc. If you load a route from a GPX / TCX / FIT file then navigation is even easier: - your position is shown on an elevation profile of the route; - the remaining distance, time and ascent can also be displayed; - you can get alerted when you go off-route; - when off-route then a compass is shown which points to the nearest part of the route; - if the route contains turn by turn directions then these can be used like a sat nav; - if there are no directions then the app can use “bend detection” to generate them; - the next direction is shown as an icon and distance in the corner of the map; - the map can automatically zoom in when you are approaching a turn; - you can use shake gestures to hear the distance to the next turn or the end of the route; - routes are coloured by gradient: from red for steep uphill to blue for steep downhill; - you can configure what information is displayed during a climb or descent. All this is included for a single one-off payment. No extra in-app purchases or subscriptions are required (although there is a completely optional in-app tip jar which was requested by long-term users). If you own an Apple Watch and do any form of exercise, then WorkOutDoors is the app for you. Give it a go!

Why res? res comes from "resolution": a firm decision to do something and the quality of being determined. res is an app to simply track your running, walking or cycling distances and to help you achieve your mile or kilometer goals. No noise, res only shows what matters in your journey. Easy and motivating without distraction. It doesn’t matter which app you use to track your workouts - res makes sure to collect all those miles and kilometers for you in one place. * Simple view: we left fluffy stuff and over functionalities out. res is straight up, no distractions, easy to read graphs. The data shown is honest and pure - no overthinking, no overloading, no tricks. res only requires access to your workouts saved in Health. * Easy goal setting: you want to make sure you move throughout the year and res is the perfect partner to support you in meeting your monthly goals. res accompanies you every step of your journey helping you to get to that big win waiting for you at the end of the year. res automatically adjusts your monthly and yearly predictions, making sure you have all relevant information ready at your fingertips. * Are you up for a challenge or running more than expected? No problem - simply adjust the goals and res will support you on your new path, making sure you’re informed and not missing out on hitting those milestones on your personal running journey. * res is for you. Just for you. Your goals and your running achievements are something private. res is not a social network - you never have to worry about privacy settings. That is how we see it and how we approached this app built as well. Also: your data never leaves your phone. * Bye duplicates! res figures out if you tracked a workout with two different apps, only counting one. * Add the home screen widget for continuous feedback and easy access.
