WorkOutDoors vs GhostDelta

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!

GhostDelta is a precision Apple Watch GPS recorder for outdoor sport: mountain biking, skiing and snowboarding, hiking, running, motorcycling, karting, boating and more. Record on your wrist. Analyse on your iPhone. Race yourself. Pick any stretch of trail, road or track and GhostDelta times every run against your own best, live and sector by sector, with the gap on your wrist while you're still moving. Ride a loop and every lap is timed the moment you cross the line. BEAT YOUR BEST Every run is timed automatically against your personal best, split into sectors and sub-sectors, with a live gap that tells you whether you're up or down before you reach the finish. Mark the section once as a Stage (a descent, a climb, a favourite run of corners) from any recording on your iPhone, or on the go: press the Action Button to start and stop a new Stage mid-ride. From then on GhostDelta spots the start by itself, and your Stage Book keeps every record, including runs you did before you created it. LAP TIMING Every lap is timed and ranked, with sector splits and a live gap to your best while you're still on track. Save any closed loop as a Circuit: a kart track, a lap of the park, a training loop. GhostDelta can even spot a loop by itself. Session bests and all-time bests are tracked automatically. FOLLOW ANY ROUTE Head for tomorrow's campsite without splitting your GPX. Import a route, trim it to the start and finish you want, and drop named waypoints along it: a campsite, a lunch stop, a summit. On your wrist, see the distance, climb and descent to the waypoint you choose or to the finish, the elevation profile ahead, and the next climb with its gain and gradient. Press the Action Button for a timeline of every waypoint ahead and behind you: tap one ahead to navigate to it, or one behind to see how far you've come since. Off-route warnings bring you back. ON YOUR WRIST • Live metrics in layouts you design: speed, heart rate and zones, altitude, ascent, gradient, pace and more • Automatic lap timing with live gaps to your best • Distinct haptics for laps, stage entries and personal bests, so your eyes stay on the trail • Always-On display support and Action Button start ON YOUR IPHONE • Full session history with maps, charts and weather • Replay any session on the map at up to 100× • Every personal best at a glance, broken down by sector • Import GPX routes, build Stages and waypoints, export everything • Bring in recordings from other GPS devices as GPX files • Group sessions into events, tag and filter ACTIVITIES Mountain Biking, E-Mountain Biking, Cycling, E-Cycling, Downhill Skiing, Snowboarding, Cross-Country Skiing, Running, Trail Running, Walking, Hiking, Climbing, Surfing, Sailing, Rowing, Paddle Sports, Open Water Swimming, Karting, Motorsport, Motorcycling, Boating, Jet Ski, Snowmobile.
