Frequently asked questions

iRox brings your HYROX result and your Apple Watch race recording together. Import an official result on iPhone, record a HYROX-format race on Apple Watch, and keep both in your race history.

Official-result import and race history are available in the iPhone app. Race tracking requires a paired Apple Watch with iRox installed. Open the Watch app on iPhone to install iRox on your watch.

Yes. Watch tracking follows eight 1 km runs alternating with eight workout stations. It records the race as one continuous Apple Health workout.

iRox uses workout, heart-rate, active-energy, and walking/running distance data to record your race and show live metrics. Grant Health access before your first tracked race.

Yes. iRox can import a PDF or image of your individual result. A PDF works best because it keeps the full result and split details together. Read the import guide or learn how to export a PDF.

On iPhone, tap Import Race Result, then choose Load from file for a PDF or image file, or Load from Photos for an image in your photo library. iRox reads the source and presents the recognized result for review.

Result layouts and source files vary. Review lets you correct the race name, date, division, athlete details, overall time, ranks, adjustments, and individual splits before the result enters your history.

Fields marked “Not provided” can be filled in before you save. You may save an incomplete result if you choose; missing values stay blank. Times accept mm:ss or hh:mm:ss.

iRox compares a new import with your existing imported races. It will not create a second copy by default. You can go back, or deliberately import another copy with a unique name.

Yes. Images can be imported from Files or Photos. For the most complete recognition, use the full individual result as a PDF whenever possible.

Use View Race History on iPhone. It includes both imported official results and Watch-recorded races, so you can revisit a race after the finish line. Read the race-history guide.

Yes. Open an imported result and choose a recorded Watch race to link. This keeps the official result and your recorded workout connected without treating their timings as identical. Read the comparison guide.

Not necessarily. Watch segment boundaries can differ from official timing. iRox keeps official and recorded times separate, and the comparison uses matching runs and stations where they are available.

Race detail views can show a split timeline, station-time bars, run-time points, and a comparison with another recorded race. For official results, cumulative split totals exclude Roxzone and judging adjustments, so they are not the official finish time.

Imported results can be removed from your iPhone. Watch races can be moved to Recently Deleted and restored there; deleted Watch races are permanently removed after 30 days.

Open iRox on Apple Watch and tap Start Race. Your Watch records one continuous workout as you progress through each run and station. Read the active-race guide.

Runs show pace and heart rate. Stations show heart rate. iRox also shows your current segment time and total elapsed time.

Double-tap to finish the current segment and move forward. Triple-tap to return to the previous segment. Long-press to pause, then choose whether to resume or end the workout.

When GPS is unreliable, iRox uses Apple Watch’s indoor distance estimate. Each run starts fresh and paused time is excluded. It is an estimate, not official course timing, and accuracy depends on Watch calibration and movement.

A cancelled workout is saved as ended rather than as a completed race. It remains visible in your race history with its recorded segments.

iRox is collecting opt-in, reviewed result data to support future Race Search and performance comparisons. Race Search is not available yet. Read how sharing works.

Only the result details you reviewed in iRox are sent. Your original PDF or image and any OCR text remain on your iPhone. HealthKit and Watch workout data are not included in an imported-result share.

Yes. Turn off Share with iRox servers before saving. The imported result stays on your iPhone.

Your imported result is still saved locally. You can retry it from Race History or use Sync all imported races in Settings. Watch races always stay on your devices.

Yes. Settings lets you save races to iCloud Drive. When you turn it off and remove iCloud files, your races and imported results remain on your iPhone.

Your name is optional and is saved on your iPhone. Enter both first and last name, or leave both blank. It can help associate you with race data, but it is never added to a result automatically.

No. The Watch upgrade is a one-time purchase; there is no subscription. Read the Watch upgrade guide.

Open the Watch upgrade area in iRox on iPhone and choose Restore Purchases. Make sure you are using the Apple ID that made the original purchase.

Race Search, automatic workout switching, and Garmin support are planned, but are not available in the current app.
