Very helpful. Thanks. I have had the app for some time, but I was struggling to make sense of the customisations possible. Your overview has helped me a lot.
After going to a Fenix 6 I really miss a lot of the features of my old Apple watch. Especially the gamification and connectivity. This looks like it could make the watch a viable option again for my longer runs.
Don’t be a clown. Garmin Fenix is much better. I have both the Garmin Fenix 7 and an Apple Watch 7 my wife gave to me. I wear them both at the same time on all runs with a STRYD foot pod connected to the Garmin Fenix 7 on the left wrist and the Apple 7 on the right using the WorkOutDoors app. The accuracy on that app is trash compared to the Garmin Fenix 7.
Thank you for this video about what I think to be the most useful app on Apple watch. I use it a lot when hiking so I don’t have to take my map out of my bag :) Cheers from France
Very helpful video to get to know this behemoth of an app with all its customizations! I'd love to see how to use it with a BT heart rate monitor. I suggest also running with your iPhone so that it uses that for GPS and you could do a lot longer runs with battery lasting.
For running intervals, this or ismoothrun? I don’t really care about that much data on the watch, I just want the basics and alerts for custom running intervals, like mixed warmup, mixed pace, etc. Thanks
I thought the same thing when in the video he shows how many data fields you CAN have shown at once...Garmins limit it to 6 on the bigger screen versions. I'm tired of the overpriced Garmin model...charge $200 more for just a few more features they could easily include on the lower models for example.
Great review, I actually purchased the app yesterday. One thing to point out, is that that to get the best from this app, you will need to invest a bit of time configuring the screens. Not being pedantic but, it is £4.99 - the extra £ you quoted could make a difference to a lot of people in making their decision to purchase this fantastic app. Keep up the good quality reviews.
Nice app! Is it possible to show a widget / complication in the screens? I want to show my bloodsugar level (dexcom complication) while running / cycling etc.
Thank you for all of these accurate informations for this app. Do you know if it's possible in WorksOutDoors to see the remaining distance and the remaining track elevation profile based on an imported gpx. This is a basic fonction in every sport watch that I can't setup on Apple Watch.
nice! how can you get rid of the annonying screen saver that appears every 2-3s? It’s nice to wake up the app by moving the wrist and seeing the data. But within 2-3s that annoying screensaver sets is…?!
Congratulations for the video and especially for your expertise. I wanted to ask you for information, I have a Garmin 630 and since Christmas an AW 7 with the workoutdoors application. I often do repetitions of 100 meters and I noticed that while the Garmin shows me the 100 meters with an "inaccuracy" of 2 or 3 meters, with AW the error is even 20 meters .... you can help me 🙏 !! Thank you
In the pace setting for this app, it asks how it should track my current pace. The default is set to pedometer, should I change it to gps? Why would it be set on pedometer if it’s way less accurate. there is also a slideable bar for smoothness of pace, not sure what this is or where to set it. Any help would be appreciated thanks 😊
Not too sure about this one though I imagine pedometer uses less battery. Probably worth playing about with the settings and experimenting, I’ll do the same!
@@DTiPNZ ok thanks for your help! I was going to do a run today with the pedometer and one run with the another day. The only problem is I have no way to route out a path to see the distance, so I won’t be sure which is the most accurate. Let me know if you find anything out. Thanks so much for your help, I just subscribed
@@ethanguidry312 No problem! Let me know how you get on with your testing. If you use Strava, I find their route builder pretty good for gauging distance.
Very cool. I'm using!! Thank you for the tips. I have a doubt: in the native app of the apple watch I can give 2 clicks and mark the lap traveled. Can I do this in this app??
I use this too but why doesnt apple watch have something native that supports maps and hiking?? Its already GPS capable. I hike 6+ hours, I use workoutdoors but the battery life is spotty. Considering getting a Garmin fenix 6, does anyone know how the maps compare with workoutdoors on an Apple Watch and a Garmin Fenix 6?
The map function on Garmin is more detailed, but clunky during use (mainly due to the UI/processor). WOD is definitely more pleasant to operate and look at, but less detailed overall
I’ve actually found the detail of work outdoors to be higher than Garmin maps now. Work outdoors includes Topo now and often I see trails on work outdoors that I don’t see on Garmin.
Olá! Quando está fazendo um exercício e baixa o braço, ele mostra a hora sob o exercício. Quando levanta, volta ao exercício. Sabe como tirar isso? Obrigado!
Not one that I've come across - but then I use a Series 4 so can't be certain. If you find an answer, please do let me know - others might have this same question.
@@SMclintosh Series 6 stock fitness app doesn’t gray out when my wrist is down. I guess Apple did not include third party fitness app like WorkOutDoors with this feature.
@@butchgo8930 yes it doesn’t remain ‘alert’ for 3rd party apps. The WorkOutDoors developer confirmed this issue is the same for all 3rd party apps and is how watchOS functions. Would be great if they allowed 3rd party apps to work like the Apple app though
Hi!!! Good video and explanation. In the running option, I cannot guarantee that PACE is correct. I have run it with a Garmin and an Apple Watch and the values are very different. For example, Garmin has a PACE of 5'00'' and the Apple Watch has a PACE of 6'15''. I believe there is some misconfiguration. Do you know what the problem might be?
Looks like this app doesn't support good old fashion interval beeps like the Apple workout app. Only hectic or voice alerts even for walk/run intervals. Just don't get it. I can't be the only one wo wants only beeps. I don't need a voice telling me every minute that its been a minute, simple beep does the trick. For sure a fantastic app, but kinda said $5.99 for the same issue.
Don’t be a clown. Garmin Fenix is much better. I have both the Garmin Fenix 7 and an Apple Watch 7 my wife gave to me. I wear them both at the same time on all runs with a STRYD foot pod connected to the Garmin Fenix 7 on the left wrist and the Apple 7 on the right using the WorkOutDoors app. The accuracy on that app is trash compared to the Garmin Fenix 7.

The best running companion so far!

Cheers Ronan, I've found it invaluable on hikes too - saved me from wandering off more than a few paths. Hope things are well across the Channel!
Absolutely fantastic review! Thanks for your time. Really great editing too!
The best review I have seen. Will subscribe as made it very simple. Thank you Sir!
very comprehensive review! great video!
So far has been great
#converted thanks for this review got about 4 minutes in before I went and purchased it and started planning my first run
Great video for a great app. I love it. Look forward to more videos on it.

After installing this app, I do not want to switch to a garmin any more. It even provide more function than i can expect on a latest garmin.
It’s quite incredible what it can do - and at a fraction of the price of a full-blown running watch.
@@DTiPNZ with this app, a cheap apple watch series 3 can become a great running watch.

Oh sweet, they must have dropped the price! Agreed on the investment of time, I dunno how many hours I’ve spent getting it *just* the way I like!
Whaoooo excelente video, muy bien explicado 👍
Great vid. Thanks 👍
Ka pai bro, thanks for a great video.
Great tutorial! Quick question, what band is on your watch? That brown one looks sharp. Thanks

Very cool. I'm using!! Thank you for the tips. I have a doubt: in the native app of the apple watch I can give 2 clicks and mark the lap traveled. Can I do this in this app??
I just downloaded it
Hi man! Could you please teach me how I finish an activity on the app? Haha
Should be a firm press (force touch)

I’ve actually found the detail of work outdoors to be higher than Garmin maps now. Work outdoors includes Topo now and often I see trails on work outdoors that I don’t see on Garmin.
Did someone noticed that the elevation is 20-30% more in this app vs what Strava is showing?!?!
I recently bought a new iphone. I was wondering if there was a way to transfer the workouts I've done previously to my new phone?

Just watched your video in Australia. Will this app record a walk/hike as it happens on a map on Apple Watch 8?
Is there a setting to have the WorkOutDoors app always on without fading when my wrist is down? I use series 6 Apple Watch.
Not one that I've come across - but then I use a Series 4 so can't be certain. If you find an answer, please do let me know - others might have this same question.
I don’t think you can, it’s a limitation of watch OS apparently.

I was wondering about this too. I've been using iSmoothrun and it doesn't fade when my wrist is down. This app does and I wish i could turn that off.
Hi there , obviously it does upload runs to Strava , but does the app upload runs to Nike app directly too ??? Thanks
Sorry Pavel, not sure on the answer to that one! Hopefully someone else can chip in - or if you’re on Twitter, drop @WorkOutDoorsApp a message.
Can you use this app with trail or obstacle runs?
I use
How find You in strava?
There's a link on my YT channel page :)
