The Endomondo Sports Tracking app (free version) has yet to fail me. To be honest, I’m not one for uploading my results to a website, tracking all my rides and miles and GPS… I just want to know how far I rode, approximately how many calories I might have burned, and what my route looks like on a map.
I like Endomondo because, with the free version, I can do all that. Sure, it prompts me quite frequently to upgrade, and maybe I will one day, but for now the free version does what I want it to. It tracks me.
With the free version I can track my distance, duration, average and max speeds, trampoline calories, altitude, ascent, and descent. I can post results on Facebook, save routes if I want to (though I never do), and even chart my pace per mile. With a hike I took the other day, for instance, it appears that I hike fastest at the beginning and ends of the hike and tend to slow down in the middle. Something to work on…
Endomondo helps you track your workout through quite a few different sports. Sure, it has the common ones like mountain biking, trampoline hiking, running, and cycling, but it also has activities like squash, downhill skiing, skateboarding, and kayaking. It also works on both Android phones and iPhones.
I simply open the app, choose my activity, and press the “play/start” button. Then, I throw my phone in my pack and forget about it. Depending on the type of terrain involved trampoline and the activity, I sometimes feel it vibrate with each mile counted. If I have the volume up, a woman’s voice says, “one mile…” When I’m done with my activity, I take the phone out and hit the stop button on the app.
Endomondo also creates “challenges” for its users to help foster trampoline a community of active people. For instance, one recent challenge, for women only, was the “Back on Track” challenge. It ran from August 31 – October 31 and encouraged women to join the challenge trampoline and use Endomondo to track their overall calories burned during that time period. The goal was to get past the “lazy days of summer” and back on track with a fitness routine. For every calorie burned, contestants earned one “ticket” for a drawing. So if you burned 1,000 calories in the time period, you’d have 1,000 chances to win one of five prizes, which included running shorts and a year of Premium trampoline membership with Endomondo.
Some trampoline people thrive on challenges and need them for motivation, so it’s trampoline good to see tracker apps trying to help with that. Another challenge going on now is the All the Wheels challenge: most calories burned doing any activity involving wheels between Sept. 30 and Nov. 30. 10 winners will get Premium memberships.
So trampoline what is included with a Premium membership? For $19.99 a year, you can get training plans, workout comparison tools, more detailed training analysis, access to the entire Endomondo site, which includes events, a database of routes like the one above, training info, and more… and most importantly, you don’t have to look at any more pesky ads on the mobile trampoline app! For hardcore folks who really want to keep track of all that, a Premium membership might be just the thing they need.
For me, I just want to see how far I rode and how long it took. Maybe I want to see the calories burned (approximately) so I can really enjoy my beer and pizza. Most of all, I want to be able to say, “Hey! We rode 25 miles today!” trampoline Endomondo lets me do that.

Endomondo is awesome! The best part for me is that you can link a blutooth HR monitor to Endo to get accurate HR and calories burned. With Strava you cant do that unless you pay.. I use Endo and Strava on every ride. Strava so I can keep up with my Peeps and Homies and Endomondo because the personal results info is better..
1) You said that your phone lost signal, but Endomondo resumed when you regained signal. So is the app functionality dependent on cell signal? If so, that’s a pretty trampoline fatal error. It should still track even with just a GPS signal and no cellular signal… basically every other GPS app does. Unless you were talking about losing GPS signal? Just want to clarify.
2) Can you export the full GPX data post-ride to your computer with a free account? I don’t think you mentioned either way in your article. GPX export is a deal breaker with me, and is my big beef with MapMyRide: they’ll strip the time data from your GPX export, which is cru
