I use Cardio Trainer and have had pretty good luck with it. Been using it since my Eris. I did notice, however, that you should only use the standalone GPS. The first time I tried it on the TB I turned on both standalone and verizon GPS and they seemed to cancel each other out and it wouldn't track me. Now everything is A-OK! Also discovered the app doesn't like me running into the wind...it screwed up my tracking and not sure why...must not like cold, windy days.

MyFitnessPal is great for calorie tracking. Tried it, but just couldn't stay commited to it, but it was an easy app to navigate.

I looked at CT but opted for Endomondo since it was cheaper and had a great online community. I did like the graphics of the CT though, nicely done... along with it's widgets.

I didn't see much of an online community for CT, am I wrong?

I like the fact that Endomondo uploads my workout to my online Endomondo section, after I'm done. I can then challenge others to match or beat my workout... Which to be honest a dog with no legs could do...

Does CT have an online presence that I didn't see?

Thanks,
Dennis

CT does have some online support, but I haven't really looked into it:

www.worksmartlabs.com/cardiotrainer

It is also connected to google health and uses my gmail account... Guess I should look at it sometime. I know you can pay for a separate app to race with others. I am still using the free version of CT, at $10 for the full version I wanted to make sure I would like it first. It is also integrated with the Calorific App, but I didn't care for that one.

I'm using JogTracker. The free version seems pretty basic but I think it's enough for me. It just track your running route and it uploads it to the site. I think the most I like about the app is how straightforward and simple it is. The site seems good. It's like a jogging journal for me, where it shows more detail of my run, like distance, time, average speed and calories burnt. It does averages of how much you've done over a week, a month and total since you've signed up. I'm not too sure about online support. I believe it has one since you can find 'friends'.

I might try some of the other apps you've mentioned, Dlt. I used cardiotrainer before but had some issues with it. I don't remember why I stopped using it though, lol. Oh, after reading the comments in the Market for CT, I remember why I stopped using CT last year...the GPS wasn't tracking my route accurately, lol. This is basically the main thing I want a tracking app to do XD

I created a weight loss app (more of a weight tracker) for teams.

It's ideal for partners, families or friends wishing to lose weight together.
