Runtastic is a really strong competitor, and as I see it, no worse, just a slightly different web interface.
From what runtastic doesn't like: if after completing the workout there is no internet connection, then even when the internet appears, the workout will have to be manually uploaded to the server. This is inconvenient when I ran, came home (wi-fi), and you need to press "download" yourself, Endomondo itself synchronizes immediately when the Internet appears.
And yet, if you set a time target, then Endomondo with each voice notification, say, for each km, tells you what distance you will run at the current speed until the goal is reached, and says when the goal (time training) is completed.
Yesterday I ran with both programs, but I turned on alerts from runtastic (goal - time), and now he didn’t notify when the goal was completed, and didn’t warn me how much I could run at the current speed until the goal was reached.

Back in Runtastic, I don’t understand the logic in statistics when breaking a lap into circles:
if you ran, let's say, 5.4 km, then Endomondo believes that the 6th km is not complete, and does not include it in comparison with the title of the slowest and fastest lap, which is logical, because it is not known how you would run to the end .
Under the same conditions, Runtastic believes that you would have run 6 km at the same speed that was 0.4 km, and when choosing the fastest and slowest circle, it takes the 6th and 400 meters into account. What I think is the height of stupidity, because in the last hundreds of meters people usually accelerate, and if you take at this speed, it often turns out that this is the best lap for training, which is fundamentally wrong!


I think, judging by the settings, Runtastic can do this. In the settings of the voice accompaniment there is the item "Heart Zones", you can connect a sensor, and adjust the zones to fit your parameters.

But as he notifies, the question. Need to try. With regard to the availability of the pulse on the site profile, then here is the same, this feature is paid.

It turns out that even in RunKeeper there are free training programs, before that I saw similar ones in Runtastic, but they are only paid. I just chose one program for familiarization in Runkeper, it was planned on the calendar for several months, and how to delete, I can not find, I chose to familiarize myself with the work.
And how does this work in micoach? I am not registered there.

Choosing the best program for sports

Short description:
Discussion and selection of the best sports program among those listed (or suggest your own)


Description:
1. runtastic PRO(interface in Russian)
2. adidas miCoach(interface in Russian, Russian sound)
3. Endomondo Sports Tracker PRO(interface in Russian)
4. SportyPal(interface in Russian)
5. Sports tracker
6. Strava Run
7. Noom CardioTrainer(interface in Russian)

Of the above, I liked the first 3, the last 3 did not like it even when I got acquainted, I did not deal with them.
The following is the measurement results with some programs. The route is the same, the programs are running simultaneously, also stopped at the same time.
Number according to the program list.
Time: (1) 25m07s (2) 24m58s (3) 24m48s
Distance: (1) 4.32 km (2) 4.30 km (3) 4.31 km
Average rate per km: (1) 5m48s (2) 5m48s (3) 5m45s
Average speed (km / h): (1) 10.3 (2) - (3) 10.42
Calories: (1) 326 (2) 329 (3) 360
The adidas miCoach was pleased with the presence of a sound trainer in Russian. In 1 and 3 English.
In endomondo there is a “beat yourself” mode in which you choose the previous workout, and it will be marked as your desired goal. There are also interval training, you can create your own.
Both endomondo and runtastic PRO are convenient, that when starting, you can set a timer through which to start. There is time to put the phone in a bag or pocket.
In each of the first three programs there is an alert about the distance covered (for example, every 1 km), about the elapsed time and pace of the race.

In general, for myself, I have not yet decided which program I will deal with.
It is necessary to look still from web interfaces and synchronization possibilities.

NEW New programs in the header:
RunKeeper:savagemessiahzine.com, Googleplay.

Endomondo VERY greatly reduced the possibilities of the web interface in free mode. They want people to buy Premium. And this is 100%, that before these functions were, and were free of charge.
For example, they removed the ability to watch and compare training data for such parameters as:
- average lap for training
- average speed
- total workouts.
etc.
They left only the total distance and duration of training, the number of calories burned and weight (2 these points are not particularly useful), and the first 2 too.
The most important thing is to watch the time at 1 km for the workout removed! That is, it is difficult to track visually effective.
Removed the opportunity to watch personal achievements in training at distances:
1, 1.5, 2, 3 km (I am sure that the main fans), and there is an opportunity to watch from 5 km, removed 1 mile, 2 miles, and left to 5 km only 3 miles (!)
Here is a screenshot of what is and what was removed (darkened)


In general, they grieved strongly, there is no desire to pay, there are analogs, you need to look at what runtastic offers, used before, a worthy competitor, but as time passed, it was possible that the conditions changed there.

I look, on PlayMarket, RunKeeper is still very popular.

I agree, I use it too! And before it was 20 seconds, and now today ran from 30 seconds before the start. Winter. While I started, I put the smartphone in my bag, while I put on gloves, just. And yes, I would not want these 30 seconds to have an error!

As far as I remember, in the runtastic settings for the goal of training was more!
I remember exactly, there was a mixed distance mode for a certain time, in the endomondo there is no such thing, either distance or time.

That is, without applications you will be engaged?

Sergioni,
I think there should be no problems with walking, if you choose Strava Run, I remember when I made comparisons, both for running and for the bike, Strava’s accuracy was that all programs underestimated the final distance, but Strava did it least cycling computer.
But to be honest, there were errors in different trainings, somewhere one is more precise, somewhere else.
If you plan to keep statistics, look at the organization of interfaces on the Internet, which will seem to you more convenient.

Sergioni,
in terms of accuracy, thanks to long comparisons of indicators of several programs, such as Strava Cycling and Run, Endomondo, Runtastic, adidas miCoach, SportyPal, Noom CardioTrainer, Sports Tracker, the most accurate measurement was Strava. Data of programs compared with the data of the cycle computer.

Endomondo has a free detailed web interface, they earn, as I understand it, by selling sports equipment and sports sensors.
Strava has detailed statistics on the personal page on the Internet, paid, subscription costs $ 6 per month and $ 59 per year.
Runtastic has a subscription for 3, 6 and 12 months, worth $ 14.90, $ 19.90 and$35.90 $24.90
Without a subscription, only the most basic information is available.
Runtastic has an interesting thing, like “training programs” that will prepare a person for a marathon, half marathon, 10km, there is a program for beginners and a program for actively burning calories. All of them are paid, you can get acquainted with the plans of the programs on the site before the purchase.

Have you tried the online service from adidas? I signed up for FB, tried endomondo service, everything is convenient enough.

Today I also tried the programs Sports Tracker and Noom CardioTrainer. The Sports Tracker did not like that it was not Russified, although everything is clear and accessible, just the native language is closer.
In Noom CardioTrainer there is a schedule, you can create notifications.
In principle, the possibilities of most programs are very similar, they are simply implemented in different programs in different ways, a different approach, an interface.
Counting the distance is different, but very slightly. 50 meters at 4.2 km.
Here are screenshots of the programs in comparison:


Yes, I forgot. In CardioTrainer, it's cool that I clicked on the "start of a workout," and the music starts playing right away. In the program settings, you can select the desired playlist.
In adidas, you can select a playlist to play at the beginning of a workout, and endomondo contains a button to launch a third-party player.
Any of these options is quite convenient if you do not switch tracks during training.

When I used my smartphone on windows mobile, I used the only possible sportypal program there, I had an account with them on the site, so I can just imagine how it was done.

You know what I wanted to ask. You use endomondo, in this application, when you log in there is the item "registration using FB", will this full account be, as well as if you register in the service itself, or is this item just made so that the data from the FB will be inserted into the fields of the new endomondo account?

Why I ask, because many programs offer to log in from an FB account, on the one hand, it’s convenient, 1 profile for many programs, on the other hand, I don’t want to get involved with social services. networks :)

Made a comparison of the window with the results of training for the first three programs:


runtastic PRO
adidas miCoach
Endomondo Sports Tracker PRO
Each of them has an advantage that the other does not have. Hard to make a choice :(
In adidas miCoach, the Russian voice acting is like, it's very cool, believe me. But there is no delay in starting (to put the phone in the bag). The interface is not the best with the results of training, the competing 2 programs are more comfortable to perceive information, it is fuller.

Endomondo Sports Tracker PRO compared with 2 others considers more calories in consumption,
if adidas and runtastic values ​​differ in 1 calorie by 4.2 km, then it is 43 in this distance.

You know, only I have doubts, as in OC Android, and in general, the GPS technology and the transmission of the signal from the receiver to applications are arranged?
If I simultaneously launch 3 programs, which interrogate and write data from the GPS, will it be correct measurements or not?

Apparently weight, height, age, gender begin to be taken into account after registration, while I familiarize myself with all these programs on the smartphone itself. I do not want to produce multiple accounts in these services.
I would have made a "Russian audio trainer" in runtastic and endomondo and I would most likely have chosen from them, and so, in adidas, it bribes.
Now I will go and try again all 3 at the same time, I will look at the measurement results in running.
In the evening I will test all 3 at the same time in a bicycle, in a ragged and fast ride, how accurately they measure in comparison with a cycle computer, and I will make a decision.

The program itself is in Russian, but here is the voice acting in English. When all in the process, straining to listen to foreign speech, to understand the results of the segment.
In this regard, adidas is better. If there was an interface in English - this is not a problem.
