Hi

I've just downloaded the app and seen that you can add your exercse on here and link it to mfp,I have some questions about runtastic as there doesnt seem to be a help bit on their website.

Does it automatically work out cals burned from your data?
Is it useful for logging exercise not done in distances ie aerobics,zumba?

I've signed up to do my first 5k in June and thought this would be good to help log runs etc.

Anyone have any tis or advice for using this app alongside mfp?

Thanks in advance

    The Runtastic app is good for tracking running. Once it picks up GPS signal it is fairly accurate although I would recommond checking distances just to make sure. i have never used it to track anything other than running. I don't sync the calories with MFP as the calorie calculations are different to the calculations provided by my heart rate monitor.
