I have been using Endomondo for tracking my walks but I feel the calories burned is really high. I walk around 3.5-5mph for about 20-30 mins and I sometimes get between 400-600 calories burned. This seems high does anyone know of more accurate apps that sync automatically

    I've been using RunKeeper and it seems to be tracking my runs and walks pretty accurately.

    I use mapmywalk. I love it. It tells you how far you've gone and your speed and average and all sorts of stuff plus you can play your music along with it and automatically logs it into mfp. You can also use it to count other forms of exercise.

    Endomondo includes BMR. I have fonud it slightly higher in terms of calorie estimation, but the mapping is more accurate than other apps.

    Swings and roundabouts.

    Strava is a bit more conservative, as is Runkeeper.

    I have digifit I guess it works ok? The calories are pretty close to mfp. I just log the number of minutes in mfp and let it calculate the calories.

    I use S health on Samsung. I've compared it against a few others for average cals and it seems pretty accurate.

    Use a HRM with it.

    I've been using this almost since it came out. They've really cleaned up some of the early problems and it works very well. The free version should be more than enough for you but the pay version has some nice extra features and is only about $20/yr.

    I use runkeeper and love it! It seems accurate when comparing it to my HR monitor in regards to calories burned.
