Map My Ride/Run App

Anyone have any experience with this app?  I used both map my ride and map my run today, with varied results.  First 'problem' was that the run pace was no where near my footpod reading.  That was very interesting to me, up to even 45 sec off.  Maybe I have been running a lot faster than I knew?  I figure that the GPS will be more accurate than the footpod.  The ride 'problem' was that it seemed to shut off during the ride.  I went about 25 miles per bike computer but only recorded 9 on my ride?  Any suggestions or is this just how the software works?

    I was using the run app last summer with mixed results. It often would shut off or give really wacky readings. Ive ditched it in exchange for the garmin and footpod due to better reliability and (more importantly) i want the data to upload to wko+

    I tried it last year and gave up. I was really looking for an app that I could preload courses into and go for a ride with turn by turn directions. I just couldn't get it to do that. If I get lost, I just pull out Google maps, have it find me and I either just do a quick look at the map to get me back on track or I input a destination and ask for directions. I'd love a turn by turn app for my phone.

    For power / pace I'll use the tools I already have.
