There are over 100 different fitness apps available. That’s a lot! With so many to choose from, it’s tough to know which ones are the best. We’ve narrowed down the search, trying to specifically select easy-to-use apps that are free and available for both iOS and Android – oh and we’ve also categorised them into different sports to help you get started.
Running
Track your route, distance, pace, time, calories and NikeFuel to run smarter. Receive personalized coaching and real-time audio feedback to run better. And share photos, compare progress and get in-run cheers from friends to motivate you to run more.
This app puts all your running stats (pace, distance, and time) at your fingertips. It is ideal for treadmill running. It also organizes the data into neat charts so you can track your progress during your cool down walk.

The latest Google Maps app, although still in beta for cycling, is the world’s best navigation tool for your phone.
