I put my cardio in this app and it said my calories burnt at 340 but my UA RECORD app tracked my steps, mileage, speed, and calories it said I burnt 398. Which app is more accurate? Which one should I use?

    I'd use the ua record stats as its taking more into account than just a flat rate of calories per minute.

    Neither is all that accurate. Choose an average of the two if you want. Or use one for one month and then try the other for the next month.
