The Jogger Android App by Rootbeer Software LLC is GPS jogging companion loaded with many features for the Android. This app features:

• Automatic shoe mileage tracking
• Current/Average speed
• Minutes per mile
• Burned calorie counter
• Distance calculator
• Color coded jogging path
• Goal tracking
• Reporting

When the app first loads select the Personal Information button and enter in your stats. You can also enter a pair of shoes to record how far you have gone in that particular pair of shoes.  When you are ready, press the Start Run button by either using your finger on the display screen or by using the track ball. The app will then find your location by using the GPS.

The weather had been pretty bad for a few weeks here so when I tried to test it, the GPS could not find my location. Rootbeer Software LLC coded Jogger to grab the most accurate location the GPS unit in the phone is able to provide.  This setting might cause the GPS unit to take a little longer to get a good reading.  The downside to this is that dense cloudy weather can make it difficult for the GPS unit to get a good reading on your location.  They are considering providing a setting on the Settings screen for users to be able to specify the accuracy level.  Outside of that the develoeprs said that they cannot control how long it takes for the GPS unit to respond with the first reading of your location.  Once the GPS unit responds to Jogger with the first location, Jogger will launch into a screen with the map and all the information about your current run.

Overall, this is a great app and if you are looking for a jogging companion with a lot of extras, I recommend checking out this app. At the time of this review the Jogger Android App is $1.99.
