I love endomondo, I just want it to have a graph of your improvements/progress over a month and also have some kind of activity level and reward system / motivator. I'm really disappointed that to join the lounge for free, I have to provide my credit card details.

"why can't one of these just be good at everything?" -> to answer my own question, last night i found sportstracklive (app is called SportsTracker Pro).... hands down best app and best website. i'm in love. (still going to use mapmyrun to create and export my routes)

[craigjpotter]

it doesn't. it doesn't even know if you're running in circles in your living room as far as i know.

[craigjpotter]

for creating a route, mapmyrun.com has by far the best tool i've seen, although the website and app aren't as sexy as endomondo, so it's a toss-up. new mapmyrun website is still beta though, so it kind of depends how that goes.

SportsTracker is another one i'm still looking at, website not as sexy as endomondo, but better than mapmyrun. it lacks a mapping function, but you can import routes you export from elsewhere.... why can't one of these just be good at everything?

[craigjpotter]

the auto-pause doesn't work for running, because it kicks in at a relatively high speed so, unless you're running pretty fast, it will keep pausing and unpausing and screw up your results. he blows off the countdown, but that's a great feature that not all apps have. it gives you time to get your phone in your pocket/strap, get your gloves on or whatever else you have to do. also, when running a route, it doesn't check if you're actually on the route, it goes by time and distance.

Everything is done with internet nowadays ...

Nice review! I'm a fat guy and I'm just starting out walking about an hour a night, doing about 6km. This ap seems really interesting cuz I like graphs and stuff and I like to look at my stats lol.

At 9:38 my heart started pumping faster (i use app) rev-ed into gear.

AT 9:43 why do you run with a stick? Is it to fend of the rapists in woodland areas?
