Favorite iPhone application for cycling?
There are a bunch of cycling-related aps on iPhone. Anyone use them? I'm interested in something that tracks all the key stuff. I have MotionX GPS and GPS Drive...but neither are very reliable.

Cyclemeter is working great for me. $5 and it uses GPS to track total and per-mile splits with max speed, average speed, distance, etc. All the essential values are recorded. It'll also recognize when you're stopped, so you'll get ride time and stopped time. It tracks elevation and puts it all in a nice Google map so you can track where you went. It also saves all your data locally and lets you export it whenever you want as a CSV (comma separated value) file for importation into Excel or another spreadsheet application.
I hope it's okay to link to the site. I am not affiliated with the developer in any way. Here's the site, you can get the app right on your phone through the app store: https://www.abvio.com/cyclemeter/

IMapMyFitness (any of them) all do a good job, plus they finally have Max Speed included. Would be neat if they could calculate cycling calories based on speed and slope instead of time and distance.

I used to use iMapMyRide, but the GPS proved to be quite unreliable, and additionally I had to go in and correct a lot of things when I logged it on the computer. Maybe I should revisit since it's been a while and new versions could have corrected said errors.

I like daily tracker, I use it to map all my workouts and rides, and it shows them as graphs and stuff.

I use Sportypal for my Java-based phone. It works very nicely tracking riding data. They also have the app for android and iphone.

And it'll send email updates, and update your twitter or facebook. If you update your facebook wall, the responses to your post can be spoken back to you.
It's the only app I've paid for since owning the iPhone 2g, and now 4g. I'm not jailbroken.. just cheap.

I run it and Pandora in background on 3 hour rides with plenty of battery left...never had a problem of it shutting down.
I had a few issues with google thinking the email alerts were spam...sent in question and tech support was back same day...
will email progress to whomever at time or mileage intervals.....for the price, it's just amazing!

Yes it does run in the background if your phone supports multitasking.

I'd like to throw Cyctastic into the mix. It supports heart-rate sensors, monitors elevation through GPS or via a pre-compiled database; It runs in the background, includes workouts (time, distance, intervals) and you can race LIVE with other app users all over the US.
I only wished it sensed stops and paused recording.
