When Strava connects and stays connected, it is great. That being said, when it doesn't connect, it is extremely disappointing. Two recent examples. In August, I did a Mammoth March, granted I was out of a service area for part of the hike, but it picked up NONE of it. My Fitbit picked up a portion, but not Strava. More recently, Strava picked up my .85 mile walk home from work. The next day, I did a 16 mile hike. Again, Strava picked up nothing. These are just 2 examples which is why I cancelled my subscription. I will say, I did not have any trouble cancelling my subscription.

Used the free version happily for many years until Strava threatened to wipe out years worth of data unless I subscribed. Since I had a good experience and shouldn’t expect free service forever, I signed up. Mediocre experience since. Can’t keep Apple watch, iPad and phone in synch (never an issue before), wants an emailed code that never comes before I can log in on my iPad, often fails to send a beacon, and has become a vehicle for scammers looking to follow me (which Strava looked into when I responded to its reporting link. Can’t comment on customer service because I can never figure out how to contact them. Bottom line: great data recording, if you can find it. Good product that gas deteriorated over time.

It feels like all Strava want is cash. They need to remember that the competitiveness and motivation which PUBLIC leaderboards produce and give each user are critical to using the the app. Instead they implement yet another paywall.

Really frustrating trying to feed back about issues when AI wants several levels of explanation before you can get to a person, and keeps evading direct requests for an actual person. For about the past two years Strava loses signal halfway round many of my activities - hillwalking, cycling, paddleboarding, walking - doesn't seem to matter whether I'm up a hill or in a city. Now looking for other options to track activities and log routes - certainly other options that do NOT use AI for 'chatting' and cannot seem to solve even the most basic request. Human contact should not be gatekept by a programme that clearly doesn't understand the advantage of human intelligence.

There's no doubting that Strava has helped tens of millions of athletes record & analyse their activities, helping with training & enjoyment. The mainstay has been the leaderboards, which they have now monetised by making them subscription only. It's a shame then that they don't use the reported $500 million in annual recurring revenue, to invest in decent customer support and improve their dreadful sub-par AI Athlete Intelligence programme, which can't even count or recognise KoM achievements!

For what it has in terms of social it lacks in actual practical mapping and pre planning routes. Not worth paying for for myself but different strokes for different folks.

egentlig en rigtig god app til løb og cykling, som jeg bruger det til. Det er dog alt for dyrt.
