Real time view of steps and heart rate on iphone

These apps track training history, any app can do this. We are looking for an app that shows hr, speed and miles details in real time, while we are on the treadmill, as the Fitbit app can.

If you start a workout from within those apps, they show you real-time data. Before the Apple Watch existed, I used Runkeeper all the time.

There is also an option to connect it to your Apple Watch. I admit that I haven't used it in a while as the information on my Apple Watch in real-time and that works for me. So, I can't be 100% certain that it will do what you want. But, Runkeeper does more than track training history.

1. You cannot view steps in real time on either device, you need to wait til the workout ends and then some.
2. All standard workouts show heart rate in real time on the watch, or to see it on the phone you need to mirror the watch on the phone. this is not available on SE watches.

Hello alfromhere,

If you're looking for an app that may support this, we recommend searching the App Store on your iPhone with the steps in Download apps and games on your iPhone or iPad.

"How to get apps

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the App Store app.
2. Browse through the Today, Games, Apps, or Arcade tabs to find apps you like. Or tap the Search tab to look for something specific. If you find a game that says Arcade, subscribe to Apple Arcade to play the game.
3. Tap or click the price or Get button. If you see the Open button instead of a price or Get button, you already bought or downloaded that app."

If you'd like to submit feedback to Apple about this, you can share that using their Product Feedback page.

Take care!

I don't know of any personally, that record steps as miles is the more usual metric. However, some apps to start looking at might be Strava and Runkeeper. There are lots and lots of iPhone workout tracking apps.

Regarding indoor miles and speed, many indoor Watch workouts do not do that (no gps) unless you can detect and connect to compatible gym equipment such as an advanced treadmill

otherwise most indoor workouts measure only heart rate and calculate Kcalories.

Have you looked at the apps I suggested?
