Sports Tracker




Sports Tracker is another great workout tracker. This reliable and quality app will enable you to track your workouts and get stats about the distance, time, pace, calories and your routes. Also there are diaries in which you can register and check out your finished workouts, see the workouts and routes of your friends and share any workout on the social media. The maps are very precise and there are distance and time calculators  as well.

Map My Run




Map My Run is maybe the best looking and the most user friendly app on this list. The workouts are easy to edit and everything is simple and easy to understand. The app will count your miles, pace, speed and calories burned, but there is also the nutrition feature, routes nearby and interestingly you can compete with others and see your overall rank on popular local runs and rides.

Endomondo Sports Tracker




Endomondo Sports Tracker is basically the simplest sports tracker on this list. The sign up is fast and the whole app has one page. From there you can go to your news feed, history, routes, challenges, friends and settings, or go through your music (synced with Google Music) and audio settings. One interesting feature this app has is the pep talk from friends. So basically any friend can write text message to the website and this message will be read out loud to you later. But, if you want info about speed, heart rate and altitude graphs then you’ll have to upgrade to pro.

Run Keeper




Run Keeper is a standard, good looking and quality sports tracker app. You can record various sports activities using the GPS of your phone. Also, you can easily set goals or personal records to motivate yourself, and interact, or compete, with friends. I have to admit that the app is a bit lag-ish at times, though.

Nike+ Running




The developers of this app should’ve definitely implemented a shorter sign up. This one is long, exhausting and boring. Nevertheless, the app is more than solid. It has all the needed features of a quality tracking app. Some interesting features, other than the standard tracking features, are the PowerSongs (in app player to give yourself a boost with one tap) and the in-ear cheers from your friends after you share your workout on Facebook.

Strava RUN




Strava Run is not as popular as the previous apps, but it is surely as quality as them. It has all of their features, and there are interesting challenges to keep you motivated. There are leaderboards on certain roads and you can compare your times to others that run the same track. You can interact with your friends that are using the app, get look of the map while you are recording and find places to run in your city.
