Endomondo vs. Map my Fitness App

NurseKristi81

Anyone use either or both of these to track fitness? what one works best and why or why dont you like them? I have used endomondo for years and discovered that map my fitness was a free app also and downloaded it:) I am thinking I kinda like the map my fitness app better, but I am not sure I think that ONLY because its new! lol

I used MapMyFitness in the past but found it unstable and unreliable. I now use Endomondo and Runkeeper in parallel, with a premium subscription to Endomondo.

Unstable as in? GPS?

I use Endomondo and Strava to track my rides.

Endomondo because I've used it for years and it covers a huge amount of activities, and also because it links so easily to MFP.
Strava because I like to see how my times are compared to others (sad but true)...

I run them both on an iphone 4S and never had any issues with them dropping or being unstable.

I used MapMyFitness when I still had an android phone. It would lock up or not connect to the gps pretty often. I thought it was the app, so I switched to endomondo and never had anymore problems.

Now I have an iphone and still use endomondo with no issues, but I haven't tried to use mapmyfitness since then. Not sure if I had issues because of the phone I had or not.

Problems uploading from my phone to the web service, and inconsistent tracking, although that's as much a function of the phone that you're using it on than the app. I've found it the least tolerant of poor quality GPS signal of the five main apps.

It seems that when I run them together that Endomondo has a significant increase in calories burned compared to Map my fitness...hmmmm
