What are your fitness apps?

With so many fitness apps on the market, it's hard to really search for reviews on each of them. I'm curious what you guys use to keep track of your fitness, diet, etc.

I use MyFitnessPal for logging my food, and I think the restaurant feature will help out too. I've tried logging my foods before but it gets tedious and sometimes complicated when my mom cooks food for me (and she cooks a lot.) Anyways, the app works great for logging what I eat daily. I don't log my exercises through MyFitnessPal because I use another app for that.

MapMyFitness works well with MyFitnessPal, and it's because they are both Under Armour. I use this app to track my runs. Trying to reach a goal of 3 miles since I haven't ran in a while. (I still don't know the difference between MapMyFitness and MapMyRun, so if anyone is familiar with those apps, please let me know.)

I have recently downloaded UA Record to act as a "central" app connected to MapMyFitness and MyFitnessPal. I think these will work nicely with each other, so I'll give it a go. I was going to originally buy Under Armour's Healthbox, which includes a UA Band fitness tracker, scale that also measure body fat percentage, and heat rate monitor. Maybe once I get consistent with tracking my routines, I will consider it.

I use an app called Workout Plan to log my weightlifting and strength training sessions. Very simple app and I like that I can set a specific workout with a day (example: Chest and Triceps on Monday). MyFitnessPal lets you log workouts but I will have to input each exercise every time. Workout Plan already has my schedule and I just put in the weight and reps for each set. I'm still looking for an app similar logging workouts into a journal, so I would like some recommendations please.

I just recently bought a Garmin Vivosmart HR to track my heart rate and calories. Not really expecting it to be accurate but I like to have a general range of where I am. I am going to try to integrate the Garmin Connect app with my other apps and see how that goes.

Anyways, that's my fitness app suite. Would love to read about what other apps I could use! So far, the only apps I enjoy are MyFitnessPal and Workout Plan, but I am open to suggestions on other similar apps. I am also planning to download a Sleep Analysis app, as well.
