Bemerkungen	Have several apps that do almost exactly the same thing. mapMyRun, mapMyRide, mapMyFitness+, mapMyWalk, mapMyHike, MapMyDOGWALK, etc. It is rather confusing to end users. Website divides up Routes vs Workouts a bit oddly. Cannot see all stats/history for a single event in one place.			My Tracks seems good for recording paths, but is not very geared towards the fitness aspect. No calorie stats. It doesn't really have any kid of fitness goals, coaching, training, calendars, etc. Very limited to Android-only. Very detailed control of measurement capture intervals.
Popularity	1,000,000 - 5,000,000 installs for MapMyRun Alone. Difficult to track because of all variations of the same app.	Seems quite popular with iPhone users	More popular in Europe than US. 1,000,000 - 5,000,000 installs		500,000 - 1,000,000 Installs

Not quite the same measurements as RunKeeper when both are used on same course. Not sure which is off.

No issues - runs in background if I open something else up. No crashes yet.

why nothing about runtastic ?

It is going to take a lot of time for me to finish this on my own. I'm hoping others can contribute if they want to try the other apps & fill it out. There are so many features & so many apps!

Good accuracy comparing mapped route vs GPS distance

Route is very noisy, all over map. Ends up being quite longer than actual path.

I have a similar list that looks at many of these - not only Android - assuming same functionality.
