WorkoutSpot, an app that lets you pick apart a recorded workout point by point, is listed as free on the App Store. New Mobile Life reported on November 9, 2026 that the app normally costs US $0.99 and is free for a limited time, and the official listing shows the price as Free.
What does WorkoutSpot do?
The app reads workouts that already sit in the Health app, so you do not record anything inside it. A workout can come from the Workouts app on Apple Watch or from any app that works with Health. You pick one, and the app draws a graph of it with a map above.
Zooming and panning the graph selects a segment. The listing says this is how you can see how long a hill took to climb, or how a sprint between stoplights went. A preview graph at the bottom and the map at the top show where in the workout you are looking, and you can switch between time and distance while keeping your selection.
Tap a single spot on the graph and the app shows the details for that moment:
- location on the map
- time of day
- distance
- altitude
- grade, meaning terrain slope
- speed
- heart rate
- power
Select a longer segment and you get a map highlight, duration, distance, climb (ascent), average grade, average speed, average heart rate and average power.
What has changed in recent versions?
The version history on the listing is short but useful. Version 2.1, dated October 31, updated device compatibility. Version 2.0 added running and cycling power data for workouts that have it, plus iPad support. Earlier updates added unit preferences for altitude, distance and speed, support for workouts without location data, and a change that loads your 20 most recent workouts first so recent sessions open faster. Indoor workouts are hidden from the list.
What does it need?
The listing says it requires iOS 16.0 or later on iPhone, iPadOS 16.0 or later on iPad and visionOS 1.0 or later on Apple Vision. The download is 6.8 MB, the interface is in English and the age rating is 9+. The developer says the app is open source and that it does not collect any data, though Apple notes that this privacy information has not been verified by Apple. The listing has only 4 ratings, all 5.0 out of 5, so there is little user feedback to go on yet.
Prices
The official App Store listing shows WorkoutSpot as Free. New Mobile Life says the regular price is US $0.99 and that the app is free for a limited time. The French site iPhoneAddict, which also flagged the promotion, lists a different usual price in euros. The sources disagree on the regular price, and neither explains why, so treat both as unconfirmed and check the price in your own store.
None of the sources gives an end date. That means the free price could end at any time, and the sources do not say whether it applies in every country. The page text we read does not mention in-app purchases either way, so check the listing before you download.
How do you get it?
Open the WorkoutSpot listing in the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, confirm the button says Get and the price reads Free, then tap Get and sign in if asked. Use only the official App Store listing. Once downloaded, the app asks to read your workouts from Health, which it needs to work.
Who it suits
Runners and walkers: If you want to know where a pace dropped or how long a steep stretch really lasted, segment selection answers that better than a single workout summary. Average grade and average speed for a chosen stretch make hill efforts easy to compare.
Cyclists: Climb, grade, speed and, where the workout has it, power are all shown for the segment you select. That suits anyone reviewing a ride after the fact, especially one with climbs.
Apple Watch owners: Anyone already logging workouts to Health gets a closer look at data they own, with no new account listed in the sources. Heart rate for a selected spot or segment is available too.
People who like open source and light apps: The code is public, the developer says no data is collected and the download is small. If you prefer to avoid apps that gather data, those details count in its favour, with the caveat that Apple has not verified the privacy claim.
What should you do next?
Open the official App Store listing and check the current price before you download. If it still says Free, get it now, since no end date has been published. Then open a recent run or ride and try selecting one hill.
