If you have been using Endomondo like me, you might have noticed that the app has been retired from December 31st, 2020. Don’t worry, there is a new app called MapMyRun.
Endomondo becomes MapMyRun
If you, like me, have been happy using the Endomondo app, you might have noticed that the Endomondo app has been shut down at the end of 2020. Endomondo started in Denmark back in 2007. In 2015 the company was acquired by Under Armor for $85 million. The good news is, that there is a replacement app from the owner of Endomondo called MapMyRun. The new app, can be downloaded for free for both Android and iOS. Just like with Endomondo, you have the option to pay for a premium version that has more features.
How about my data from my Endomondo App?
Don’t worry, you can transfer your data from the old Endomondo app to the new MapMyRun app. However, you should not wait too long. The data will only be available to March 31, 2021. After that date, all your data and history will be deleted. You will need to login with your old Endomondo app and connect the MapMyFitness to your account. That will make your data available in the new app.
Is the MapMyRun App just as good as Endomondo
I have been testing the MapMyRun app and I think it is overall, a fine app that gives me the same possibilities that I had with the old Endomondo app. To be honest it almost seems like it is the same apps just with a new look and feel when it comes to the design. If you have been using Endomondo I think you will feel very comfortable with the MapMyRun app. The app tracks distance, time, split time, calories, terrain and many other stats you might find interesting whatever you use the app for running, cycling or just walking. I have been using the app a lot doing the Corona lock down where the local gym has been shut down. If you want to get started with outdoor fitness, this is a great app to make it all more interesting and fun.
Download MapMyRun for your Smartphone
If you are a former Endomondo user or you just want to get starting tracking your outdoor activities, just go ahead and download the app for your smartphone.

Verdict of MapMyRun
At first, I was a bit sad, to hear that Endomondo was shut down, but after I have tried the new MapMyRun app I can see that I will soon forget the old app. The new app can do just the same and maybe even more. I think the apps works great and is easy to use. Many free apps can be full with bugs and enjoying commercials, but that is not the case with MapMyRun.
