    MapMyRun, free, it does give you the splits at each mile on the free version.

    RunKeeper - I've been using it for about 3 or 4years.

    I never got the GPS for MapMyRun to find me no matter where I went so I bagged it for RunKeeper. Haven't looked back.

    I really loved endomondo but found it to be a total battery drainer.

    I've been using runkeeper lately and so far so good, but unlike with endomondo you have to be careful to "save" the run. I lost my first real 10k using runkeeper because I hadn't worked this out beforehand, alas. I do like the way it tracks your progress though.

    Odd. I have sometimes forgotten to exit Endomondo and left it running overnight. Seems to have only a slight effect on the battery. I have a Droid Razr M and the battery is only good for maybe 36 hours top even using a battery extending app, so I charge pretty much every day anyway. Endomondo use doesn't make me have to charge any more often.

    ETA - I usually run every other day about 90 minutes. I ran last night and I just plugged my phone in to charge. It had 55% left, which is pretty close to normal for a day with or without having used Endomondo.

    I have been using MapmyFitness, but several people have told me to try Endomondo so I'm trying it starting today...

    I've just started using RunKeeper. I'm still figuring it out but so far I like it.

    I LOVE RunKeeper. Its awesome! You can set it to tell you how far you've gone based on time or mileage and when you're done it shows a map of where you've been. You can sign up for different training plans too. Right now I'm doing the half marathon plan. Almost all the training plans are free too.

    Another great point - RunKeeper updates to MFP for you with the time you ran and how many calories. Its so nice!

    Used runkeeper for over 6 months to track my bike rides and walks. But always had to manually put it in to MFP although they're linked. Runtastic does a much better job (even my squats and crunches ;))
    Though not sure about it on android as I'm on iPhone.

    I have tried several apps. My favorite by far is Adidas MiCoach. Not only is the GPS great, gives you maps, miles, calories etc but if you want, it has an actual Coach telling how fast or slow you should run along your route. It's fantastic. Moreover,,it's free. It's great on Android or Apple phones. Check it out http://micoach.adidas.com/

    It is a bit different from the other apps but my favorite is "Zombies, Run!"

    I actually hate running but I tag along while my wife is training for a marathon. This app has kept me going far more than anything out there.

    So instead of just tracking mileage/mapping your runs/reporting along the way it does something far different. It is basically like a run through story where you are the main character. In a post apocalyptic world where zombies have taken over, you are part of a settlement in which you are a runner. Your main task is to go out on missions from getting supplies to saving people to well...it is kinda endless and a great plot. It uses your headphones like you were wearing a headset and communicating back with your base.

    So you start your mission, You hear basically the plot start to unfold about your mission along with some awesome sound effects around you like you really were in the situation ( like gates raising, zombies maoning around you, other teamates talking to you). Once the little piece of the story is done playing then your running playlist turns on. In between songs more and more of the story unfolds. It has all the features like the more popular apps like mapping your run, logging statitics about each mile, readouts of mileage while you are running, even can import the data in stuff like mapmyrun if that is what you mainly use.

    It's not free, I believe its around 4 bucks but seriously the best 4 bucks I've spent in awhile. I would easily pay double that now I know its worth to me. Just a suggestion of an app that I really love.
