Fitness tracker app recommendation

I walk and hike for cardio activity. Also lift weight two or three times and take a couple of circuit training classes each week.

Currently using Map My Walk to record distances and workouts. This works ok, but the calorie burns seem high.

Do you have a recommendation for a better app? Are there any appreciable advantages in other apps?

Thanks for your input.

    Do you use a fitness tracker or just your phone?

    If you're just using an app, none are going to be that accurate. I recently got a Garmin Vivosport which tracks heart rate, GPS, and steps, and I'm loving that. FitBit also has some devices that are helpful.

    I like Endomondo for distance walking and running, and have found it to be somewhat accurate. I also use Endomondo with a Zephyr HRM during strength and cardio workouts.
