Best simple cycling app for Android
I have been "cycling" through the multiple app for my Note 5 to help track distance, Cal, speed etc.
Something reliable & basic will suffice
Can't choose between
Map my ride
Endomondo
Runtastic
Strava
Google fit
Any recommendations?

Any of them would be good for guesstimates. I used to use My Tracks from Google, but they pulled the plug on it 
Might look into https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....android&hl=en

... Has a dedicated cycling layer showing trails, paths and bicycle friendly/designated roads. Its much better than google's cycling layer in my city, significantly more complete and accurate.
I've discovered and linked up some really nice 30-40km routes in my city with out ever having to hit any kind of major roadway.
Runtastic is the only app that I've tried out of 4 or 5 that has the OSM map layer. Fortunately, I also found that I liked Runtastic's features and interface much better than all of the others too. I use the "road bike" version, but you can use any of the versions, (standard, mountain bike), they all seem to be exactly the same to me just with a different colour interface.

I've used RunnerUp in the past, and still would for running, as for me the key functionality is interface with my training log on RunningAhead

I'm a Strava user. It's nice to pull up others' rides and generate a route based on their routes. And then crush a KOM (someday...)

I use Strava and Map My Ride. I liked Map My Ride when it first came out but not so much anymore. You have to get the premium version to see all the cool stuff. I like Strava and I also have Garmin Express with my Vivioactive. The only reason I still have Map My Ride is because I have a lot of runs/rides that I need to transfer to Strava but can't unless I get the premium version.
