Bike computer vs. phone app [View all]

Hi,
I've recently started using mapmyride phone app to track my biking. The thing is screwy, I ride the exact same route to work and home. The two trips end up with different mileage, but not by much. The difference between my bike computer and the phone app is strange too. It is .5 mile off on a 10 mile commute. I do like mapmyride because it uploads it to their website. I may try endomondo app soon and see what the difference is. Anyone have experience with some good free phone apps?

Peace
