Great app – WorkOutDoors Review

I’ve been jogging w this app for about 3 months now. The app is awesome and I find note and more features regularly. There are only a few options that I wish were available. Those first. The display on my phone has a lot of data. I wish however it had a single screen in a customizable data table format for me to review. I wouldn’t eliminate any of the standard summary screens just add this one customizable table. The other item, I wish I could export more than one workout at a time to more easily import the data into another program to analyze my performance and trends. For cycling I can export all rides from my Garmon bike computer into Golden Cheetah for analysis over time. I wish the same were possible here. You can export one workout at a time but I haven’t found a way to export mote than one at a time. One last wish for data display on the phone. I’d like to see time spent in each of the 5 hear rate zones. The watch has a tiny column graph but the phone doesn’t replicate this. You do get the data in a more complicated method but this would be one other data field I wish were in the phone. You do get a tiny graph on your watch but it’s not quite what I’d like to see. Other that those few wish list items I love this app. On the Apple Watch the data and the screens can be organized in so many ways. More than I will try to Identify. There are standard screens that are all customizable on your Apple Watch. I’m in my mid 50s and worried about being able to see the data without reading glasses. You can adjust the text size many sizes but better than that, touch any individual data field and it temporarily appears in large size as the only item on the screen. I can see everything. Splits and notifications can be set at any distance you choose. I typically run trails about 5-6 miles 4-5 times per week. With each run I’ve set it to announce my splits each mile. When reviewing your past workouts in your phone, each workout can be viewed individually or grouped by just about any way you like. Do you want to group runs by the month, by week, by workout type, you can. The display will show you hours run for the month, total miles, average pace, average heart rate, average heart rate zone, calories and more. For such a cheap price for this app and all it does it’s a steal. One of the items mentioned frequently about this app is it’s mapping feature. I normally run the same few courses over and over so I have not really relied on it. What I’ve seen so far is a very capable and detailed map. The graphics are a vector map meaning when you zoom in the images stay sharp, they don’t pixilate. There seem to be a lot of landmarks also which is super helpful. It seems pretty accurate and capable. I saw many positive reviews that convinced me to spend a few bucks on this awesome app. I would buy it again! Run, bike or even walk swim ski HIIT to get the app! ? Update. I was away from home and needed a course to run but didn’t want to bring my phone. I used MapMyRun to create a course, expected the GPX file and imported it into this app. It worked great. It draws the course on the map which is easy to follow. It was great. It doesn’t beep or vibrate when you’re off course but that’s not a problem. I intentionally went off course and used it to find my way back. Super easy to use. The more I use the app, the more I love it.
