Thanks to a variety of useful apps for iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and macOS, you can get more out of your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac. Developers ensure that your Apple devices become more versatile, but discovering new applications is sometimes difficult because the range is so large.
That is why we would like to list some useful apps for you so that you can discover new possibilities. The three apps we are highlighting today have a theme to play sports. Would you like to receive Apple tips? Then it is worth installing the appletips app on your iPhone or iPad.
Sports apps
The App Store offers a wide range of sports and fitness apps. They range from simple tools that track your activity to platforms that offer complete training plans. Some apps require a subscription, while others are free to use. The apps that provide step-by-step explanations of workouts are particularly practical for those who want to train at home. They provide structure, help you perform exercises correctly and make it easier to maintain a steady rhythm.
In this overview we discuss three sports apps that are suitable for working on strength, fitness and flexibility at home. Each of these apps has its own approach, but they share the same goal: making exercise more accessible, even without a gym. Would you rather stick with Apple? Then you can also use Fitness+.
Nike Training Club
The Nike Training Club app offers a wide range of free workouts for iPhone and iPad. Users get access to more than 200 workouts, ranging from strength exercises and HIIT sessions to yoga and pilates, with both equipment-free and simple-tool options. The app includes video instructions with step-by-step guidance from Nike trainers, making exercises easy to perform at home, and integrates with Apple Health to sync heart rate and calories.
On the iPad, the app uses the larger screen for a clear view of workouts, plans and progress tracking, while the Apple Watch version offers additional support for monitoring time, reps and heart rate during training. Additional features include personalized recommendations, reminders and tips on recovery, nutrition and mindfulness, which can be followed across multiple Apple devices.

For Apple users, the connection with the Apple Watch is essential for the user experience. The Freeletics app is available on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, so you can easily start your workout from your wrist, navigate through exercises and track timings and breaks without having to use your phone. The app communicates with your iPhone via Bluetooth, so you can continue training without constantly looking at your screen.
