Using Endomondo. Seems good. Others?

I've been using Endomondo to track exercise. Seems like a good tool. Anyone had what they consider better experiences with something else? Just curious.

    I use Endomondo subscription, but Runkeeper is also good. Depending on how serious you are then Strava is good, but a bit expensive.

    Runtastic and MapMyFitness are also recommended on here but personally I don't rate either of them for various reasons.
  • I use Endomondo too, it's the only exercise tracker I've been using. Works well for me

    Endomondo is my favorite as far as tracking goes. I also highly recommend Sworkit. Sworkit is especially great if you don't have a lot of time to work out, and don't have any equipment.

    I use Endomondo and like it except it seems to estimate calories burned at almost double what MFP estimates them at. So after Endomondo syncs my workouts with MFP I come back to MFP and adjust the calories burned down to MFP levels (which are probably still way too high).

    I started to use Endomondo when I got into biking (outdoors) on the mountain bike and it is by far my favorite for biking. I use it which pushes to MFP but I don't bother adjusted the calories as I swap between the mountain bike, a recumbent bike and other stuff. It seems some trackers work better depending on the exercise. What are you tracking with it?

    I go between this and Nike plus. Endomondo works well for tracking by GPS and you can pair a HRM.

    Using it for walking, biking, running. I'm not sure I'm going to worry about the calorie count as long as I lose weight!

    I use iCardio because it syncs with my Zephyr HRM. It has some interesting fitness assessments that I like.

    I use Endomondo as I got a free 3 month trial with my Bluetooth earphones - seems ok, though the calories burned are incredibly enormous!

    I stopped using Endomondo because the calorie counts were too high. It was more work to adjust it to accurate numbers than it was worth.

    I use it and like it, but like others I find the calorie burn to be way too high.

    Thanks everyone, I appreciate the feedback. Sounds like the calorie burn is high, good to know.

    I generally find Endomondo higher but it seems to account for BMR.

    I use Endomondo a lot, for cycling and running. Like others I find that it does overestimate calorie burn, so I mainly use it to track distance/time and work out the calories when I update my diary on MFP.
