What Workout Roadbook does
Workout Roadbook lets you import a GPX track, create GPS waypoints, and follow a route.
With a paired Apple Watch, the selected plan is installed on the watch. Roadbook follows GPS waypoints while Apple’s Workout app manages the workout session.
When no Apple Watch is paired, Other Watch mode follows the route on the iPhone you carry. It creates ordinary iOS notifications that a compatible connected watch may relay, depending on its settings. Roadbook does not provide a Garmin, Suunto, or other third-party watch app, and does not provide independent GPS tracking on those watches.
Workout Roadbook is not a medical, training, nutritional, safety, emergency, or turn-by-turn navigation service. Always use appropriate preparation, equipment, and judgment.
Data processed on your devices
Roadbook processes GPX tracks, route plans, waypoints, route progress, and temporary technical records locally on your iPhone and Apple Watch.
The app uses this information to:
display and edit routes;
prepare supported Apple Workout configurations;
install a selected plan on Apple Watch;
estimate route progress;
trigger configured waypoints;
manage transfer acknowledgements, deletion requests, and temporary tracking state.
Roadbook has no user account, no developer-controlled cloud service, no analytics service, no advertising SDK, and no tracking system.
Roadbook does not upload your GPX files, plans, or live location to the publisher’s servers.
Location and notifications
In Apple Watch mode, Roadbook requests precise location permission on Apple Watch when you prepare to start a plan. Plans with waypoints also require notification permission. During a plan you start, including when the display is off or the app is in the background, the watch’s location is processed locally to estimate progress and determine when a waypoint is reached.
In Other Watch mode, Roadbook requests precise location and notification permissions on iPhone when you start tracking. You must carry the iPhone. Its location may continue to be processed locally in the background while tracking is active.
Roadbook creates ordinary iOS notifications in Other Watch mode. A compatible connected watch and its companion app may relay their text according to their settings. Roadbook does not send your GPX route or live location to the watch manufacturer and cannot verify that an alert was seen, heard, or felt.
Focus modes, notification settings, silent mode, GPS conditions, and connected-watch settings may affect notifications. Force-quitting the iPhone app stops Other Watch tracking. Interrupted GPS tracking is not resumed automatically.
Apple Watch, Workout, Health, and Fitness
In Apple Watch mode, Roadbook can open a configured workout in Apple’s Workout app when you request it.
Apple’s Workout app manages the workout session and its Health and Fitness data. Roadbook does not read or write HealthKit workout data, and deleting a Roadbook plan does not delete workouts saved by Apple.
Other Watch mode does not start, control, or save a workout on a third-party watch.
App Store purchases and reviews
Workout Roadbook is purchased when downloaded from the App Store. It has no in-app purchases, subscriptions, paywall, or free trial.
Apple processes payment information under its own terms. Roadbook does not receive your payment details.
The iPhone app stores local counters, dates, and an app-version value to avoid asking for an App Store review too early or too often. These values are not sent to NeoStudent or to an analytics service.
If Apple displays its review sheet and you submit a review, Apple handles that submission under its own terms. Roadbook does not collect your rating or review text.
Data retention and deletion
Imported GPX tracks and plans remain on your iPhone until you delete them or remove the app. They may be included in device backups according to your Apple system settings.
The selected plan remains on Apple Watch until it is replaced, deleted, or the Watch app is removed.
During a run, Roadbook may retain a minimal local execution record, such as timestamps, route progress, triggered waypoints, and delivery state. This supports reliable waypoint handling while tracking is active or while pending alerts are being processed.
In Other Watch mode, the temporary iPhone tracking checkpoint is excluded from device backups. It is removed when tracking stops, when the route finishes, or when the app handles an interrupted run. If storage is temporarily unavailable, cleanup is retried before another run can start.
You can delete plans in Roadbook, stop tracking explicitly, and withdraw location or notification permissions in iOS or watchOS Settings.
Sharing
Roadbook does not sell, rent, share, or disclose your GPX routes, plans, or live location to advertisers, data brokers, or the publisher’s servers.
Apple platform services may transfer the selected plan between your paired iPhone and Apple Watch. Your device backups, App Store purchase, connected-watch notification relay, and any review submitted through Apple are governed by Apple’s terms and settings.

This policy may be updated when Roadbook changes. The current version is published on this page.

What does Workout Roadbook do?
Workout Roadbook helps you prepare GPX tracks and GPS waypoints for Apple Watch, or follow them on a carried iPhone in Other Watch mode.
With Apple Watch, Roadbook follows the route and waypoints while Apple’s Workout app manages the workout session.
With Other Watch mode, GPS tracking runs on the iPhone. Roadbook sends ordinary iOS notifications that a compatible connected watch may relay, depending on its settings.
Why can’t I import my GPX file?
Export the file as a GPX track with geographic coordinates. Roadbook does not import routes containing only route points or waypoints.
Roadbook accepts one track per file. If a file contains several track segments, you can choose the segment to import.
The file must be no larger than 10 MB and contain no more than 100,000 track points.
Try opening the file again from the Files app. If the issue continues, contact support with a non-sensitive sample GPX file that reproduces the problem.
Why did a waypoint alert not appear?
On Apple Watch:
confirm that the Roadbook plan is running;
allow precise location permission;
allow alerts and notifications for Roadbook;
check GPS reception and test the setup before an activity.
In Other Watch mode:
carry the iPhone;
keep Roadbook tracking active;
allow precise location and notifications on iPhone;
configure the connected watch and its companion app to relay iPhone notifications;
use Roadbook’s test notification before an activity.
Focus modes, silent settings, disabled notifications, GPS conditions, and watch settings can affect alerts. Roadbook cannot confirm that an alert was seen, heard, or felt.
Force-quitting the iPhone app stops Other Watch tracking.
Does Roadbook upload my GPX files or location data?
No. Roadbook does not upload GPX routes, plans, or live location to NeoStudent’s servers.
Processing takes place on your devices. In Apple Watch mode, the selected plan is transferred between paired devices using Apple platform services. In Other Watch mode, Roadbook creates iOS notifications that may be relayed by your connected watch and its companion app.
Imported plans may be included in your Apple device backups, depending on your system settings.
Can I use another watch?
Other Watch mode is available when no Apple Watch is paired with your iPhone.
It uses the iPhone you carry for GPS tracking and ordinary iOS notifications. Whether another watch displays them, and how they look, sound, or vibrate, depends on that watch, its companion app, and its settings.
Roadbook does not provide independent tracking on Garmin, Suunto, or other third-party watches.
Does Roadbook record my workout?
No. In Apple Watch mode, Apple’s Workout app manages the workout and saves it in Apple Health and Fitness.
Roadbook follows the GPX route and triggers configured waypoints. Other Watch mode does not start or save a workout on another watch.
How do I stop tracking?
Use the stop control in Roadbook and confirm the action. In Other Watch mode, force-quitting the iPhone app also stops tracking.
You can remove location and notification permissions at any time in iOS or watchOS Settings.
