A new feature has been added to the SportyPal website, which allows you to compare two workouts. To use it, simply select two workouts from the workouts list and click the “Compare” button below the list.
Note that you can also compare other users’ workouts using the same method, although you can’t compare their workouts to your own… yet. If you select more than two workouts and click the “Compare” button, only the first two will be compared.
Comparing workouts shows you the similarity between the workouts’ routes (as a percentage, with 100% meaning that the routes match completely, and 0% that they are completely different), a visual comparison of their velocity graphs, and several bars showing the difference in distance, time, speed, pace, calories and climb.

Upgrading to the latest version fixes this.
UPDATE: This also affects the Java version. Download the latest version from here to fix this.
UPDATE: This also affects the BlackBerry version. We’re working on a fix.

After you’ve labeled the workouts, you can filter through your workouts by entering a tag or location in the workout list.
