Description
Now supports the Always on Display!
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 3 or later. It is not necessary to have your iPhone with you during a workout.
WORKOUT HIGHLIGHTS
- 42 different activity types, including all the major activities
- Configure multiple screens with metrics from a pool of over 600 data fields and graphs
- All workouts are saved to Apple's Health system and are viewable in the Health & Fitness apps
- Export workouts as FIT/TCX/GPX files, or automatically upload to Strava (even from the watch)
- Dozens of alert types (e.g. mile/km notifications; high heart rate; low speed; zone changes etc)
- Configure which metrics are displayed and/or spoken for an alert
- GPS signal strength shown before starting a workout, so you can wait for a good signal
- Create your own Interval Schedules: e.g. Warm Up for 5 minutes, Run 5 miles; Cool Down
- Supports Bluetooth sensors for speed, cadence, distance, heart rate & power (including Stryd)
- Zones can be configured for heart rates and also for pace and power metrics
- Associate actions with gestures: e.g. double tap to start a new interval, or to show music controls
- Auto-pause available for many outdoor activities (including Apple's algorithm where available)
- Set a Target Pace and see how far ahead or behind you are (can show a target icon on the map)
- Analyse workouts in great depth on the iPhone app, including detailed lap and interval splits
- Supports watchOS 9 running metrics: power, ground contact time and vertical oscillation (only available on recent models of watch).
MAP HIGHLIGHTS
- Maps can be cached on the watch for use when offline
- Topographic vector map option with configurable contours and hill shading
- Maps can be smoothly panned and zoomed, and can rotate according to the compass
- Map-only mode for when you don't want to start a workout and just need a map
- Uses OpenStreetMap, which includes the trails necessary for outdoor workouts
- Maps cover the whole world. No further purchases or subscriptions required for anything
- A breadcrumb trail of your whole route is displayed on the map during the workout
- A scale is shown on the map when you zoom, making it easy to see the distance to features
- Load GPX routes and display them on top of the map to aid navigation
- Routes are coloured by gradient: from red for steep uphill to blue for steep downhill
- Get alerts when you deviate from or return to the GPX route
- Waypoints in routes are shown as icons (supports "groundspeak" geocache data)
- Shows a red compass pointing north and a green compass pointing to the start
- Tap the green compass to see the distance to the start (double tap a compass to hide it)
- "Smart Contours" use different colours to make it easier to read the terrain at a glance
The app also has many, many more features (far too many to list here!).
All this is included for a single one-off payment. There are no extra in-app purchases or subscriptions. If you own an Apple Watch and do any form of exercise, then WorkOutDoors is the app for you. Give it a go!
What’s New
Version 5.4
This is a minor version to address an issue with map transfer since iOS 17.5. Maps are successfully being transferred to the watch but iOS no longer informs the iPhone app of the transfer, so it looks like they are not on the watch even though they are. This version addresses that issue.
There are also several other bug fixes and a few minor improvements:
- map POIs can now be made larger
- you can now zoom further into maps.
- you can now choose a single colour complication even for multi-coloured watch faces
- alert messages can be configured to stay on the screen for longer
Note that a major version is on the way with lots of new features. This version is mainly to workaround the issues with iOS 17.5
Ratings and Reviews
Best outdoor exercise software period
How is it possible that an $8 app puts to shame both Apple and Garmin? You can customize your screens (almost) however you want, make them actually functional. You can even replace data fields with buttons. You can create a route in the app of your choosing, export it as GPX and then push it to the watch while the workout is still running. When out in the middle of nowhere, this is what I consider core functionality but neither Garmin nor Apple provide it by default.
The app works perfectly with Apple’s Health and Fitness apps (including sharing), so there’s no adoption pains, you just start using a different app for tracking your workout but everything else works the way you’re used to.
You may think there has to be a battery life penalty but it doesn’t appear so. During an 8 hour bicycle ride (7:58), the battery of my Watch Ultra went from 94% to 38%, and I was using the watch for navigation for probably half of that time (meaning checking the display at least once every 10 minutes). 14 hours on a single charge is realistic and you can enable low power features to get more.
The app is one time purchase with no subscription, but there’s a donation option. I will definitely throw extra money at the devs every once in a while, this app is so worth it.
Brilliant app!
This is a fantastic app! Elevating the apple watch user experience to a comparable (or even higher) level as e.g. Garmin premium sports watches. The possibilities of customization seem endless. The user interface is excellent. It works perfectly smoothly without any glitches. Just absolutely love it.
Don’t look any further - this is all you need for you workout tracking.
Exceptional app!
Truly the best app I own. Can’t believe the price-to-value ratio. This app literally makes my Apple Watch useful. I legit don’t why would people even own the Apple Watch without TV is app. As an outdoors person I use it almost every day.
The ability of importing gpx files works well but the absolute one-of-a-kind feature is
The ability to transfer map tiles from phone to watch for phone-free use. This immediately gives you the feature parity of high end garmin for 5$.
Also, the maintainer is really cool dude - sent him bunch of emails when I faced some quirks and he replied literally within couple of hours.
Best.
App.
Ever.
