Rather simpler in scope than WorkOutDoors, Strava goes for a more traditional companion app. We particularly like the complication that displays risk ratings for a specific allergen, to help you avoid becoming a sneeze monster.
Air Matters (free) surfaces air quality data in a manner beyond any weather app. Getting outdoors to exercise is great – unless the air has it in for you. (Well, you need a reward after all that exercise, right?) There are loads of features that show what can be done when you’re aiming to make more than an iPhone app’s sidekick: breadcrumb trails multi-coloured speed/elevation/heart-rate trails alternate layouts and zones compass support tons of data options and POIs to help you navigate your way to the nearest pub.

There are loads of workout apps for Apple Watch, but WorkOutDoors does something the others don’t: maps. There’s no login – and no data is shared with third parties.ĭownload Runance WorkOutDoors ($6.99/£6.99) Back on iPhone, you can dig into your workout history and maps. Kick off a workout on your watch and you can gawp at live metrics as you huff and puff, switch between rolling and average tempos, and control music. You might question an indie taking on the terrifying might of the RunKeepers of this world, but Runance deserves a slot on your Apple Watch – at least if you prize privacy and don’t care about leaderboards and the like. Except when your entire body is screaming at you for not initially going for the six-minute option.
When you’re done with a set of reps, you tap the screen. You choose from four workout lengths (30 entirely suitably being dubbed ‘extreme’), and the app strings together simple exercises. All you need is your Apple Watch – loo Workout functions independently of the iOS app – and the will to work up a bit of a sweat. This app broke a couple of the Stuff team, but we nonetheless heartedly recommend it for a quick calorie burn.
