Can I use strava and another bike app at the same time?
I use motifit ride as my main app, I just downloaded strava, both apps use heart rate, both apps use gps. I was wondering if I can use them at the same time? Also, how do you enter your data in strava like age, weight, etc?

Interestingly, Strava processes the raw GPS data differently calculates different distances & average speeds. These seem to be closer to my Garmin GPS unit, so maybe Strava is more accurate than Cyclemeter?
You can add your profile data into Strava from the web site. Log in, then find your user icon on the top right, and select "settings".

I think I got it figured out, thanks. I also exported my rides from motifit to strava, the elevation is about right in strava, it's way off in motifit. Also, even though I have the same number of rides in both apps, my distance is about 2 miles different.

I often run three apps simultaneously on my older iPhone 4s. Typically Cyclemeter, Strava and Charity Miles. No problems. I like to compare Cyclemeter and Strava because they often differ slightly. And maybe once a month one will lose GPS sync but the other usually doesn't.
No problems until I use the camera or map app, then I need to restart the cycling apps where they paused. No loss of data. Strava and Cyclemeter just pick up where they paused.
I haven't tried running those and Ride With GPS or Map My Ride simultaneously. Not familiar enough with either to use 'em yet.
