Most fitness apps chase step counts. Physical tracks what actually moves your health: the weekly aerobic minutes and strength days from national physical activity guidelines, personalized to you. Your dashboard shows two simple rings, aerobic and strength, tailored to your age and profile. Every walk, run, and lift you log in Apple Health counts automatically. WHAT YOU GET - Guideline-based targets. Weekly goals from the 2018 U.S. Physical Activity Guidelines, not a generic 10k steps. - Live heart-rate zones. Color-coded intensity on iPhone and Apple Watch, so you know when you are working hard enough. - Workout goals. Aim for a time, calorie, or distance target, with a wrist buzz at the halfway point and the finish. - Start with Siri. Say "Hey Siri, let's get Physical" to begin a workout or a saved routine by voice, plus Shortcuts and Spotlight support. - Start fast. Long-press the app icon for Home Screen quick actions to jump into a run, walk, or strength session. - Outdoor GPS. Live distance, pace, and route mapping for outdoor walks, runs, hikes, and rides on Apple Watch. - Music controls. Play, pause, and skip right from the workout screen, without leaving the app. - Strength logging. Log sessions on iPhone or Apple Watch with muscle-group coverage, and save your own routines. - Widget and complication. Your rings at a glance on the Home Screen and watch face. - Live Activity. Heart rate and intensity on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island during a workout. - Share your week. Turn your two rings into an image you can post anywhere. - Export your data. Send your logged workouts to CSV anytime from Settings. - Nothing slips by. Get a heads-up when a workout you logged in another app counts toward your week. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Physical collects nothing. No account, no analytics, no ads, no network calls. Your health data stays in Apple Health, and your saved routines back up to your own iCloud. Nothing is ever sent to us. HOW IT WORKS Set your profile once, then just live your week. Workouts you log in Apple Health count automatically, and Physical shows how close you are with reminders that adapt as your rings fill. Try everything free for 7 days, then continue with a subscription or a one-time lifetime unlock.

Verdict
MyVitals+ and Physical are too close to call on the numbers: across 9 compared parameters — price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MyVitals+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Physical sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
