WorkOutDoors

Great app. There is no subscription, only the small once off cost. I've uploaded and used .gpx routes easily. You can download the map and the route before so you can use the watch without your phone. There isn't any topographic maps for South Africa that I could find and it would help a lop for hiking. But for the cost of the app it is amazing. Would highly recommend.

With the addition of always on, I now only use this app for my daily runs and my races. I would only use my GPS watch for an ultra where my Apple Watch 5 won’t last.

Does not record laps and pulse for pool swim. Need to use another app to do this - checked all settings. Tried other fitness - not recording heart rate.

Work out doors fundamentally changes everything about the Apple Ultra. This is the best value for money I’ve ever received from an Apple Store purchase. You can literally set up your device to monitor every facet of your fitness and health journey. Truly exceptional.

Favourite app for hiking! The offline maps are detailed and brilliant to have on your wrist. Just that is worth the purchase price alone, could be a stand-alone maps app. Powerful fitness features too. Selecting map areas to download can be a bit fiddly, would be nice to just download say all map tiles in a custom radius or square km, from a pin. Even better would be to do that from the watch! Highly recommend this app

I use my Apple Watch Ultra exclusively for workout tracking, maps, etc, primarily running. I do not even think I would continue using the Ultra as my go to device without this app. Infinitely configurable and it just works, all the time. In my Top 10 apps of all time.

I love hiking and biking and hate having to pull my phone out to check the map. Having the maps downloaded on my wrist in a totally usable format is absolutely amazing. No more bringing the phone!

After a year and a half of use, WorkOutDoors remains my favorite activity tracking app.

Lots of metrics that can be change for one’s tastes. Used lots of other apps, installed this a few days ago. Lots of info including a map if wanted. The dev put a great deal of effort in it.

Where has this been all my life? I was a diehard paying Runkeeper user for 10+ years but watched it steadily stagnate over the past few years (don't even get me started on their buggy Apple Watch app). I tried Strava five different times over the course of several years but kept getting annoyed by the appallingly limited utility it offers serious runners and how insipidly dumb the whole social self-promotion component of it was. Tried the default Apple Watch Activities app, which to its credit, at least worked consistently and wasn't as bug riddled as the other running apps, but kept bumping into customization limitations, especially with the layout of the Watch app screens. Tried Nike Run Club twice and was instantly turned off by the social aspect and the dumb inspirational coaching. Finally found this app through some Reddit and Quora discussions and decided to give it a try. WOW! I'm only about a month into using it, but I'm still blown away by all the customization capabilities. This is clearly an app developed by serious runners for runners, not by the marketing department of a lifestyle brand. I've only begun to scratch the surface of what this app does, and to be fair, it's daunting, but I'll be darned if it isn't exactly what I've been looking for all these years but didn't even know it.
