Facts
Endomondo is a social sports and fitness network with community tools that enable people worldwide to engage around their passions for living vital, healthy lives. It centers on activities and sports that unify physically active individuals and promote exercise for recreational and serious athletes alike. The mission is to make fitness fun and engaging.
THE MOBILE APP: A SOCIAL MOTIVATOR ON TOP OF A FULL-FLEDGED PERSONAL TRAINER
Endomondo Sports Tracker turns your mobile into both a personal trainer and a social motivator. Bring your mobile whenever you run, walk, bike or do any other outdoor sport across a distance. While you are out there, your route is automatically tracked together with your distance, duration, average speed, split time, calories burned, and more. The audio coach will inform you about your pace for each kilometer or mile. The app keeps a full history of your workouts.
The social dimension is what really makes Endomondo engaging and sets it apart from other fitness apps. Your friends can follow your workout live and if they think you need their help to give it a little extra, they can send you peptalks that are read aloud to you in real time – a popular feature used for both encouragement and harassment! The app also allows you to race against a friend’s previous workout with help from the audio coach.
Endomondo Sports Tracker is connected with Endomondo.com where users can keep a full training diary, dive into more detailed analyses, connect with friends and challenge them. Users can integrate with Twitter and Facebook to share their activities further.
The app is the highest rated fitness tracking app across major app stores.

Hi!
Can you upgrade the application for symbian like android or ios. It looks like very old and unfashioned..
Thank you in advanced
can I listen to music on my iphone with this app?
Sylvia, I listen to music on my iPhone while I use this app and the coach voice will still talk to you the music will automatically stop an go back to whatever it was playing?
I would like to know how accurate is the calories burned?
When is it possible to use Polar Watches in the import training menu?
I want the ability to add Avg.Heart rate / Max Heart rate notes and manually enter my mobile after a workout.
any clue when the iPhone app support ANT+ cadans and speed sensor?
Love to see HR max min per kilometer, lap, minute etc. Manual or via, Garmin, Polar, ANT+.
On/in the graphs would be perfect! Is it in the pipeline?
Also: connection to a free food-app.
I live in Sweden, but Denmark rocks!
Android. HTC Desire HD
Avg heartrate and max heartrate rased in 10 after upgrade to the new version.
Please can you add Stand Up Paddle Boarding to list of Sports activities…
is it possible to improve the GPS system in the new version for android? After I installed the new version the tracker keeps stopping, and makes it hard to concentrate on running, because I have to check it every kilometer or so to make sure it’s still running. Today this meant my rute of approximatily 7,5 kilometers was tracked in three intervals adding up to 5,9 km. This almost never happened with the old version.
El sistema Android 2.3.6 es compatible con el Polar kit sensores de cadencia y velocidad.
The system Android 2.3.6 is compatible with the Polar kit cadence and speed sensors???
Can you add Treadmill – I don’t know what to use for that. I bought the steps thinking i could use walking with steps – but the step don’t seem to work on the treadmill
Also can we have a forum so we can ask questions like this ?
Hello, we do have a forum: https://getsatisfaction.com/endomondo Treadmill as a sport should be added soon, but please use Running or Fitness Walking in the meantime. Thanks
Really need a update for the Black Berry version
need a update for symbian – flere sportsgrene at vælge imellem
Just a note to suggest you to please include on your sports table of your app, standup paddle. It would make good friend Tere Bajandas very happy and if she is happy am happy.

wie kann ich meinen Polar Wear Link Sender (Brustgurt) verbinden?
Need Blackberry Z10 app please. Last one you show is 7.0.
Some more skiing sports: Split cross-country skiing into classic and free-style (skating). And add ski-hiking/randonee.
Thanks a lot to the app developers!! You guys have truly made our (referring to all sports enthusiasts) life easier.. tracking our workouts to a fair level of accuracy is motivating.
Could you please share how the hydration is calculated? The app in my mobile is showing a different value than the one which appears on this site “Training Page”.
Hey, Really enjoying using Endomondo to track my cycling. One thing that would be a huge help is for the GPS to include satellite navigation with a map and turn by turn directions that update automatically. Having this would put it in good competition with Garmin Edge type cycling computers, and I’m sure that many (like me) would be happy to pay a premium for this type of service. Thanks and keep up the good work!
