I will probably add them at some time, but other features are higher priority at the moment. Sorry.Hello,
can you add two activities: climbing and indoor climbing?
I know I can use other activities but...
Got a tip for us?

Apps WorkOutDoors: New workout features

En primer lugar, gracias por tu rápida respuesta. Con respecto a los permisos están todos activados de forma correcta.
Con respecto a la distancia la veo en los intervalos ‘intervals meters’, y en alguna ocasión pasados unos minutos se actualiza el ultimo largo y ya puedo generar un nuevo intervalo, pero, por ejemplo, no la veo en las ‘Laps meters’ en tiempo real. Siempre aparece a 0 esta métrica.
Es posible que sea por el motivo que indicas, del tiempo extra que toma WatchOS en informar a WOD. ¿Habría alguna opción de mejorar esta sincronización?
En la aplicación nativa de AW y (con watch os 9) si que aparece en tiempo real los metros nadados y realizados de manera “on-line” ¿este dato, por tanto, es imposible obtenerlo en WOD? ¿le podrías dar un vistazo, por si acaso? Es posible que sea por alguna mejora de watchos9.
Muchas gracias!
No creo que sea posible que las aplicaciones de terceros lo muestren en tiempo real porque watchOS solo brinda actualizaciones de distancia ocasionalmente. Lo siento por eso.
I'm in Florida so I never deal with anything below 40F so no jackets here. I wear it under my shirt and the only issue I run into is my shirt making phantom touches on the screen. Typically it just swipes between screens but on one occasion it was able to pause my run. My work around for that is to assigned a shortcut to a quad tab that turns on water lock.
If Apple wants to be serious about the AWU they need a solution for people wearing the watch above clothing. Even if it's just the ability to automatically disable wrist detection when in Fitness Focus.
I have a question on how to set up a running schedule in Workoutdoors on the AppleWatch. Is there a way to manually start each segment of my workout? Also, is there a way to get haptic alert countdown to indicate that the segment time is ending?
For example, let's say my running workout is 1 min of running fast, 45 seconds of running slow, then 1 min fast again. Because I share the track with others, it doesn't always make sense to start my segment right on the dot - I may want to let other runners pass me before starting my next segment. Is there a way to manually start each segment but still get an alert that it's time to start my next segment? In this case, my slow segment time may end up being a little longer than what was scheduled.
Also, is it possible to get a haptic alert countdown that my segment is ending? Again, because I share the track with others, I didn't want to annoy other people with my constant voice alerts. TIA!

To move onto the next interval use the Next Interval command, which can be associated with a gesture by going to the Settings then Commands then Shortcuts. If you have an Ultra then this is already the default command for the action button, so you can use that.
So if you make an interval "Manual" instead of say 1 minute then you will not move onto the next interval until you press the action button (or do whatever gesture you have configured for the new interval command). You can still get an alert at one minute by going to the Notification section at the bottom of the interval screen and setting the Notification Frequency Type to Time and the Frequency to 1 minute. However you will not get a countdown because it is just a notification.
To disable the countdown voice alerts go to the Settings then Alerts then Scheduled Interval Alerts. Then go to the "Next Interval Countdown" section and disable the Voice Alert option but keep the Haptic Alert option.
I just tried to add a shortcut to open workoutdoors. I did not find it on the list? How did you find it?
For those of us, like me, that have no idea what that means. Could you explain?
Right now WOD is not really doing any navi so it is impossible to calculate it. We have that promised as the next thing after AOD, but it requires rebuild of navi system, so it will take a while (AOD maybe in May, so navi... who knows
)ClimbPro is a feature that draws you an altitude profile of your route and tells you where you are at the moment and how much of an ascent you have left.
Thanks, that would be a cool featureRight now WOD is not really doing any navi so it is impossible to calculate it. We have that promised as the next thing after AOD, but it requires rebuild of navi system, so it will take a while (AOD maybe in May, so navi... who knows
ClimbPro is a feature that draws you an altitude profile of your route and tells you where you are at the moment and how much of an ascent you have left.
Yes, it does. From my initial tests, I have the following conclusions:
pros:
- first and foremost - it is the only application with such a function and it is its biggest advantage
- climb pro is solved very nicely, the slope of the approach is marked with a color code and with a steep approach there is an automatic zoom
- waypoints are cool, they have icons and clearly show how much distance is left to a given destination
- the map implementation is good, nice and readable, it downloads automatically in the background for offline use, can be launched and hidden with the action button
cons:
- there are separate screens for metrics and waypoints, which means that to switch between them you have to unlock the watch (swipe left/right), they should be rather changed on one screen by the digital crown
- it looks like the waypoints are baked in the turn-by-turn navi, it's a tragedy, I just want to know how far I have left to the shelter, summit, water and end of the route, I do not want for the whole 20km constantly get notifications before every turn and trail intersection. this makes this feature useless for me, I'd rather turn it off than check why the watch is vibrating all the time
- there is practically no possibility of customizing the metrics screens, as usual there is a set "for everyone" which we know will not really be for anyone
To sum up - the biggest plus for me in Footpath is that it exists at all
But I'm waiting impatiently for an alternative.@kabzior
But putting a route on the watch is not include in the base Version of Footpath. You must pay fore it.
For me at the moment WOD ist the best App because of the custom Screens. But for Trail Races I need navigation functionality.
If there comes an app who has both, I will switch.
For me the biggest con at WOD is that the App is for to many sports and the key features for running and biking are not included. 😞

Thanks for sharing your observations. Have you contacted the programmers with your ideas? From my experience they are very happy for feedback?
Hi Ian,
Many thanks for your superb app and all of the effort that it must take to develop it!
I was wondering if you would consider a small improvement to the alert logic during Interval Schedules:
Many thanks!

I was wondering if you would consider a small improvement to the alert logic during Interval Schedules:
- Currently, if you are in an inverval that has a limit alert set (say HR, for example), and you hit an autolap marker which shows you your split, if the limit alert is immediately breached there is an override of the split notification, meaning that there is no chance to view the split information (short of going into the info screen).
- Perhaps a better behaviour would be to sequentially queue the alerts, i.e. the split alert would show for the alert duration the user has set, and then any limit alert would appear. I think this is the way Garmin and others handle split notifications vs limit alerts, and it gives the user slightly more information.
Many thanks!

Yes it's true. But I'd be willing to pay if I got exactly what I want in return. Now, unfortunately, this is a product definitely not worth the price for me.
I do not bike, I don't need anything else for my amateur running, and for my main sport - climbing/hiking... I can even live without navigation, I mean in the sense where it shows where I am on the map, where to turn etc - I usually study route before going out and I rarely need to use a map, so rarely that it's not a problem for me to take out my phone and check the map there. I'm not sure if I even need a map on the watch.
But it's very hard for me to get used to not having ClimbPro and UpAhead, it's really crucial and essential for me. Especially on trails that I am traversing for the first time.
I have not, to be honest. It seems to me that the application has a long way to go, much longer than WOD. And I'm not sure if it's going in the direction I expect. However, I know that WOD is moving towards my perfect application, it's just that it will probably take a while, just have to be patient
So I guess I'm betting everything on WOD @kabzior
Yes it will takes a long time, till we get all the Features we need in WOD.
Essential for me on my trailruns is remaining time, remaining distance and remaining altidude.
In May I run a 58k Trail Race and I can get do this only with the Ultra. I must put my old Fenix 3 on the other wrist.
It is a shame.

Oh, if that's what you mean by "navigation" and not map and turn-by-turn, then I'm thinking exactly the same - as soon as this is added to WOD I can forget about my old Suunto

Yes that is what I mean with navigation.
turn-by-turn is not so important. I run since 15 years with breadcrumb and I am a Pro in this 😛
I don't think anyone has suggested that before but it makes sense. I will bear it in mind but, as you say, I am deep in the AOD rewrite at the moment so it won't be high priority. Sorry about that.
In the meantime you can configure screens to show previous lap or interval metrics, so you could configure a screen with the details of the last lap or interval. It's not ideal but may be useful.
This is the sort of feature that will be included in the improved navigation: an elevation profile with your location and metrics for remaining time/distance/ascent. I may not include any clever zooming in for single climbs in the first version with nav improvements, but probably will add it after that.
I think it would have to be a manual process. I don't think anyone has asked about exporting a workout to AllTrails before but from looking at their site you would need to upload a file manually.
