The latest update of The Outsiders app, version 1.7, has been launched today, introducing several enhancements that users have requested. This update comes shortly after the app received a nomination for the 2026 Apple Design Award in the Interaction category, reflecting its rapid evolution since its launch just eight months ago.
The app now features Home Screen widgets, allowing users to monitor key metrics such as “Training Readiness” and “Endurance Fitness” directly from their device's main screen. Additionally, the update includes the capability to import workouts from various platforms, including Garmin and others that provide .FIT files to Apple Health. This expands the app’s compatibility, which now supports a total of 161 workout types, including unique options like “Dog Running” and “Bouldering.”
New metrics have been introduced as well, such as tracking the number of sessions, and the update also adds four new states for users: Active Recovery, On a Break, Injured, and Sick. Furthermore, athletes can now transition from “Training Load Ratio” to “Training Form,” a feature designed to aid those preparing for significant events or races.
