YueYe is an outdoor navigation and workout app built for hiking, cycling, running and trail running — designed for iPhone and Apple Watch. Even where there is no signal, you can still see your route and keep moving. **Offline maps, ready when you are** Download offline maps along your route before you leave. In a canyon, forest trail or deep mountain, the map and your track stay visible. Three map modes — online, offline grid and battery-saver canvas — let you save power when it matters on long days out. **Bring any route into the wild** Import GPX, FIT or TCX files, or draw a brand-new route on the map and fine-tune it by dragging waypoints. Generate the return leg in one tap, and place checkpoints (CPs) along the way to stay on top of the climb ahead. **Navigation with every step in view** Follow your route with live distance and direction readouts. Get clear turn cues before each bend, and a vibration with guidance if you drift off course. Remaining distance, remaining climb and slope are always on screen; the elevation profile with a seven-level slope color scale makes hard climbs easy to read. **A complete record of every outing** Auto-pause and manual laps keep your activity precise. See distance, pace, heart rate and zones, cadence, calories and total ascent or descent in real time — then revisit the full map and elevation profile afterwards. Workouts can be saved to the Health app or exported as track files. During a workout, Live Activity keeps your progress visible on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island without unlocking your phone. **Works independently on Apple Watch** On your wrist, you can choose a route, navigate and record a full workout without carrying your iPhone. Paired with your phone, routes and settings sync in one tap. **Privacy first, quietly by your side** No account, no ads, no background uploads. Routes and workout data stay on your device by default and are only written to the Health app when you choose. Location and health permissions are requested only when needed and can be revoked anytime in Settings. **Notes** YueYe is a companion for outdoor activities. Always judge terrain and conditions for yourself and never let navigation distract you from safety. We recommend downloading offline maps and getting familiar with the app before your first trip.
