    iRunner app, it’s served me well with consistent results for about 5 years now.

    Strava defaults to moving time for both running and cycling, which is annoying and unchangeable. (I think most cyclists prefer it, as do I; but many runners, myself included, do not).

    ETA: exception being for workouts tagged as a race... it properly defults to Elapsed time in that case.

    Run keeper

    Strava doesn’t give real time pacing

    I use MapMyHike just for the fun map and distance, not for calories. I don't have it synced to MFP. I think the crazy high calories I see in the app are due to it including my BMR (?)

    It uses GPS so if I lose the signal in the woods I get odd results.

    I’ve been using MapMyRun / MapMyFitness (main activities walk/hike/run) for the past 6 months. I started going to the gym 2x a week to add exercises.
    Tried Strava, didn’t like it although it seems like a favorite here. Recently started Runkeeper and like the User Interface better but not sure which is best for integration with MFP and iPhone Health.

    Garmin linked to Strava (I have a Garmin watch). But if for some reason I don't use my watch that day then I use MapMyRun/Fitness. I mainly use Strava for Strava Summit to track my training progress.

    Can't imagine why time would be so far off, unless one program stops when you are not moving. My Garmin reports this separately, total time/moving time. Mileage is probably just inaccuracies in the device, which is why I get a different distance for the same route. Calories are pretty much guesswork from any device or program. The mileage and calorie differences are pretty minor.

    I did discover the other two apps do have an automatic pause function so I turned that on. I had to stop and retie a lose shoe and pace at 4 intersections, so that might have impacted time.

    Like I said, just my personal OCD.

    Running multiple apps is part of the source of error. They're competing with one another for processing capacity.

    Personally I use Garmin devices and use the Connect app for analysis
