Hi all
What's the best free Android application to track workouts that can be linked to MFP? Endomondo? Runtastic?
Do you use any applications that you like?

I realized that most of the applications are made to keep track of running/walking plans and I still don't know what's the best among them. And when it comes to keeping track of all the workouts, what's the best?

Thanks in advance.

    I haven't tried runtastic, because I am not a runner. I do like Endomondo. I got a chest strap heart monitor to wear with it, and it gives me a pretty good calorie burn read out. But that's just my preference. :)

    I'm also not a runner, planning to start walking though. I guess I need an app to record logs both for walking/running and other workouts.

    Runkeeper and Endomondo are good, personally I use both of those.

    I wouldn't recommend either MApMyFitness or Runtastic, I've had problems with both of them.

    Strava has a good reputation as well

    Runkeeper for cycling, running, and walking. An old fashioned notebook for lifting.

    Zumba is not listed under workout in Endomondo. Annoying!

    I like my notebook because it has all my weight lifting workouts in it, so I can refer back and see how I am progressing, or, when at the gym, if I want to a different exercise I can refer back to an older one to see how much weight I was using, and how many sets and reps I was doing….

    I also do not find it that tedious….

    A good fitness application keeps track of all you just mentioned!

    I use Jefit for my lifting.
