Loop
Read full descriptionHide full description
Loop turns every session on your treadmill into a real workout on Apple Watch and in Fitness. Connect your treadmill over Bluetooth, start walking or running, and Loop combines what each device measures best: the treadmill provides distance, speed and steps, and Apple Watch provides heart rate and calories. When you finish, the workout is saved to Health and shows up in Fitness, so your rings, trends and history match what you actually did. EVEN IF YOUR ARM STAYS STILL Walking with your hands on the handrail, on a laptop or holding a coffee? On its own, the watch would count too few steps and too little distance. Loop uses the treadmill's data, so the workout is right even when your wrist is still. AS SIMPLE AS AN APPLE WORKOUT ⢠The same pages, colours and gestures as the Workout app: time, heart rate, zones, calories, distance, pace and splits. ⢠Change the treadmill speed with the Digital Crown, with the buttons or by sliding the speed indicator. ⢠Start the belt from its remote and the workout starts on its own. Stop it and the workout pauses and ends by itself. ⢠Pause, resume or end from your wrist and the treadmill follows. WALK OR RUN? LOOP KNOWS When you finish, Loop looks at your speed and cadence and saves the workout as a walk or a run. If it gets it wrong, change it with one tap and it's corrected in Health too. ON IPHONE TOO ⢠Follow your watch workout live, including on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. ⢠Change the treadmill speed from your iPhone. ⢠History with Fitness-style summaries: splits, heart rate and zones, pace, cadence and effort. FREE TRIAL Try Loop free for 4 days. Then unlock it with a one-time purchase: no subscription, yours forever on iPhone and Apple Watch. COMPATIBILITY Loop works with Bluetooth treadmills that use the FTMS (Fitness Machine Service) or RSC (Running Speed and Cadence) standard. It has been tested with the Mobvoi Home Treadmill SE. Treadmills that use their own proprietary protocols aren't supported yet. If yours won't connect or something isn't right, write to us from the app (Settings > Help) with the brand and model and we'll try to make it compatible. REQUIREMENTS ⢠iPhone with iOS 26 or later. ⢠Apple Watch with watchOS 10 or later. ⢠Treadmill with FTMS or RSC Bluetooth. PRIVACY Your workouts are stored in Health, on your devices. Loop has no accounts, no ads and no tracking. Loop is not a medical device.
Walking Adventure

Turn your everyday walking into a journey along one of the world's great roads. Caravan reads the walking you already do from Apple Health and moves our camel along Route 66, the Camino de Santiago or the Silk Road. Every day or two you reach a real place and discover its true story. REAL PLACES, TRUE STORIES ⢠Arrive somewhere real every day or two: a 1932 filling station in Odell, the pilgrim pass above Roncesvalles, the tiled madrasas of the Registan. ⢠Every place comes with a postcard of its history, fact-checked against at least two sources. When a story is only a legend, the postcard tells you so. TREASURES, MEDALS AND BADGES ⢠Special stops unlock real objects from each road's history, from Bob Waldmire's 1972 VW microbus to the 12th-century Codex Calixtinus. ⢠Earn a medal for every chapter you finish, and 18 badges along the way. YOUR WEEK, AS A STORY ⢠Every Sunday, a short story of your week: how far you walked, where you got to and your best day. ⢠At the end of the year, your Year story. ⢠Share any of them as a card, with or without your numbers. NO STREAKS, NO GUILT Missed a day? Your camel rests by the campfire and waits for you. Nothing is lost, and there's nothing to catch up on. THE WALKING YOU ALREADY DO ⢠No GPS and nothing to start or stop. Every walk and run your iPhone or Apple Watch records counts, indoors or out. ⢠Your walking from the week before you install counts too, so your camel sets off with a head start. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up, no ads. Your health data stays on your iPhone and is never sent to us or anyone else. FREE AND PRO ⢠Free for as long as you like: the first chapter of one road, every weekly story and your Year story. ⢠Caravan Pro opens every road and every new chapter, treasures and medals on every road, switching roads with your progress kept, and camel outfits for every road. ⢠Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Loop at daily against Walking Adventure's every 3 days. Walking Adventure's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
