Hi all
What's the best free Android application to track workouts that can be linked to MFP? Endomondo? Runtastic?
Do you use any applications that you like?

I realized that most of the applications are made to keep track of running/walking plans and I still don't know what's the best among them. And when it comes to keeping track of all the workouts, what's the best?

Thanks in advance.

    I haven't tried runtastic, because I am not a runner. I do like Endomondo. I got a chest strap heart monitor to wear with it, and it gives me a pretty good calorie burn read out. But that's just my preference. :)

    I'm also not a runner, planning to start walking though. I guess I need an app to record logs both for walking/running and other workouts.

    Runkeeper and Endomondo are good, personally I use both of those.

    I wouldn't recommend either MApMyFitness or Runtastic, I've had problems with both of them.

    Strava has a good reputation as well

    I have used mapmyfitness for runs and other sorts of workouts and it syncs with myfitnesspal.

    Runkeeper for cycling, running, and walking. An old fashioned notebook for lifting.

    Zumba is not listed under workout in Endomondo. Annoying!

    I like my notebook because it has all my weight lifting workouts in it, so I can refer back and see how I am progressing, or, when at the gym, if I want to a different exercise I can refer back to an older one to see how much weight I was using, and how many sets and reps I was doing….

    I also do not find it that tedious….

    A good fitness application keeps track of all you just mentioned!

    I use Jefit for my lifting.
