    jason_adams: I looked into it during my cool down and my auto pause is turned off. Not sure what the culprit is though.

    What do you like about Endomondo?

    I like the MapMyRun site. I track all my workouts on there because it can show me reports in different ways, and I like that. And it has routes from the last 6 or so years on it, which is great. The phone app is good, but will often run a little short (as much as .05 per mile, but usually around .02). I usually run with my Garmin watch and then log workouts afterwards.

    It runs on my Blackberry and works well. I can go for long runs (~ 2 hrs) with tunes on, get coaching feedback from the app and still have battery power at the end. Accuracy is quite good.

    On the Endomondo site, I get good reports on my exercise, distances, best times, etc, and can compare with my friends.

    Holy. Approx 2 hour runs? My run seems more pitiful than I previously thought

    MapMyRun doesn't have a countdown feature which kind of sucks. At least I have the iPhone timer

    Haven't used the others, but only cause I haven't found a reason too. I find mapmyrun to be accurate, I love that it synchs with my playlists, as well as fitbit and MFP.

    Stats are ok... Would definitely like more there, but on the whole, I'm a fan.

    I've had 2.5 - 3 hours on a Galaxy S4 running Runkeeper and Endomondo. Runtastic trashed the battery in an hour :(

    Runkeeper has access to trail information, so useful for planning. That lack of trail information is a real frustration with the Endomondo site, and since they're accessing the same mapping databases it's curious that they don't display that layer.

    I like it so far. I don't like syncing it to MFP. Has anyone bought a Bluetooth HR monitor to work with the app.

    I just learned to sync my MapMyRun+ with MFP. I thought it automatically updated when you completed a run...... I don't think it does.

    i don't necessarily need pre-planned trails, just something to keep track as accurately as possible. My co-worker used Endomondo and told me to try it.

    nyiballs: Fitbit. I hear mixed reviews about it. What do you think of yours? What do you use it for?
