Not strictly a cycling app, but I use cardiotrainer on my android and find that it works pretty well to keep track of my rides. A friend uses endomondo, I think that it may be better than cardiotrainer.

the only one that stands out (because the time on a bike outlasts battery life IMHO) this one that measures angles. If you are into measuring head and seat tube angles then it is for you.

all apps I have come across are great ONCE then done.
 
GPSLogger

GPSLogger!

It has some quirks on a crackberry, but it works great. http://www.emacberry.com/gpslogger.html The java GUI is not sensational, but that's JavaME for you... And it's Free. Software freedom makes it the best.

Nokia has an app called sportsTracker for their smartphones. It does the same thing as gpslogger only I believe the waypoint data is not exportable like gpslogger's and it's written with the native GUI so it looks pretty good. The nice thing is Nokia's uploads are transparent to their site. Gpslogger has an intermediate export step. http://www.sports-tracker.com/

App for Evo 4g

I've been using the iMapMyRide app. It's not bad although there is a little bit of discrepancy between it and my bike computer. I've been pleasantly surprised that it doesn't drain my battery as much as I thought it would. I like that it also records elevation, although I suppose most other apps do that as well.

It's also free, which is a deciding factor for me.
