Hi guys, at the moment i am using Strava but I have seen advertised somewhere that there is another app where you can save your rides on. But I can't find it, SOooo, am wondering what app (if you use one) do you use when out riding?

Strava is for people who want to race against strangers without ever having to meet anyone or be sociable.
I use endomondo to record routes.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -
I use Cyclometer on my WP8, but will be switching to Strava when I get the iphone running. Other than that, I use a Garmin Edge.0

Used to use Sports tracker, Strava is more 'fun'.....despite what RSC says I usually only compare my times to my mates....Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

Most are free,although some do offer a premium payable version with some added features.
I used sportstracker for a number of years back when it was a Nokia/Symbian only app,since moving to android sports tracker have failed to keep upto date with competion and lacks some newer features,also it has a bug on android versions that allows it to crash on long events and where the old version would save up until the crash pointthe latest looses everything,they have been "fixing" it for the last 2 years with no new updates as yet.
I recenty switched to strava and was able to save all my rides from sportstacker and upload them to strava.
Its good to see all the segment times and tables,but its down to the individual how competitively you use it,I only really pay attention to my time on my local route.
there all pretty much the same, but as far as i no strava is the only one that allows segment times to be compaired.0 -

Well that depends how seriously you take your app gaming0

Ordenance survey do these new fangled things called maps .0

Well, I suppose you could draw your routes on the maps as a way of saving them...0

Depends a bit on your OS, endomondo's available on pretty much everything.Music, beer, sport, repeat...0

Strava is by far the most fun, even if you are racing with strangers and friends it's still nice to move up the table in the challengers in your area/route. I've found myself pushing that bit harder when it comes
to a challenge section on my loop.0 -
This is good, especially the for the fact it uses Open Cycle Map:

They do, but why would you when you have to pay for them.0 -
I just used a garmin edge 500 and Strava. The edge once set to update position every second is very accurate compared to mobile phone apps, also it has a longer batter life and is waterproof enough. I do mountain and road biking.
The good thing about strava is it motivates you to ride faster and other riders times show you what is possible. Also you can see in which sections other riders go noticeably faster than you to improve your skills and really push yourself. Strava showed me the brakes on my road bike were poor and once I upgraded them my times improved no end on the downhill sections.
You can subscribe to ordinance survey and print off their maps as often as you want. It lets you zoom into the section you are interested in.
Just give it a go0 -

Use both Strava and Endomondo and the latter being the best imo. Both good apps but find Endo tracks that little more accuracy.0
