APP recommendations for Android

I have recently started trying to run/jog (using Couch to 5K -- up to week 6 day 2). Could someone recommend good Android Apps (free or cheap preferably) that I can use while I'm running?

I'll go out to run and then map it when I get home, but once I was at .72 and could have gone to at least .75 (a nice round number) if I had realized how close I was. Most recently I made it 1.23 and again, would have gone that extra short distance to at least make 1.25. I'm looking for an app with reliable GPS so I can take a peak when I start to get tired and push through to at least the next quarter mile mark.


Thanks in advance!
 
Since I didn't receive any responses, I decided to go with an App I knew of (but wanted some feedback on). I've used it twice and it seems pretty reliable.


[I guess I should have said "legitimate" responses] :)
 
Unfortunately, it looks like you did have some replies, but they were all from spammers. What is the name of the App that you ended up using? One that I use is called RunKeeper and it seems to work well.
 
Yeah, I saw those and just ignored them. I am using map my run. I've used the website before but it is very tedious so I was hesitant about the app. I also live in a rural area and it is difficult for GPS to work out here. I've run with this twice and so far it's been reliable. I was able to do 5K yesterday. I've only recently started running and I'm still nearly 230 pounds, so I was pretty pleased with myself. It was slow, but I didn't walk any of it. I am signed up for an official 5K at the end of October so I knew I needed to be ready. I am excited that I was able to complete it now so I still have several weeks to work on my speed.
