Fav app for jogging?

Is there an app that can separate running from walking? I can't consistently run for the entire route and would like an app that shows how much actually jogging I do.

I use Endomondo and it has the walking, jogging and running break down.

Is that only in the pro version? I use the free one and I don't see anything like that.

I used that feature in the free version since I switch between jogging, running and power walking when I do my circuits. Did you select on the word 'running', it should give you a slew of activities to choose from.
 
Is there an app that allows you to enter your exercise log with some alerts and reminders. As well as having a depression scale?
 
Bringing this thread back to life after finding it in a Google search for inaccurate Endomondo. :D

I started walking on Monday this week and had installed Endomondo free version to track my walk distance, speed, etc. I took the exact same route on Tuesday, except added at least .15 to .2 of a mile and the distance came in at .2 mile LESS than the previous day. I walked the same route Wednesday as I did Tuesday and it seemed to get the distance correct that time by showing .22 mile more. I then added I'm guessing .7 to .8 to my route on Thursday and Endomondo showed an extra mile. Took the exact same route this morning and it showed .5 mile less. It seems to be all over the place with distance. I don't even trust it any more. I see that the reviews for Runkeeper are pretty bad lately for inaccuracy as well. I had a very strong GPS signal with 8-10 satellites when checked with GPS Status, so that's not the issue.

I will add that on Monday through Wednesday, Endomondo was version 7.xx and then I got the update to version 8 on Thursday. I don't even know what app to use now as there seems to be a lot of accuracy issues lately with these two.
 
This isn't an app per se, but I don't think it's off-topic. My wife has a MOTOACTV, and it is an excellent device. It's usually spot-on with the dedicated running GPS's others in our group have, it has a great display with big numbers and a lot of customization. Being able to sync to the MOTOACTV android app after a workout is cool too, as it shows more info that the wrist unit. We haven't hit distances that cause battery life to be a problem yet, but that's coming later this fall. We also haven't tried it as an MP3 player.

If you're serious about accuracy I would recommend it. I've stopped running with my phone and just let her tell me our distance and pace. ;-) I think Moto is dropping the price, too.
 
Hi all,
I'm the developer of a app for running, if you want to ask me something related to the development of such apps (I read discussions about how to work the gps, etc.), I'm here!
Also if you want to suggest me some features you like, I'll include them in the to-do list.

This is the app:
Everywhere Run!

N.b.: it is FREE and it's only for Android
