One Tap Record for Strava

About this app

This ultra simple "app" simply starts Strava and begins recording a ride/run using its NFC intents.

I find it to be very useful and I record more rides because of how fast and easy it is to do once its just a single tap.


•NFC intents are a new feature for Strava and they still may have some kinks. I've experienced some issues with them such as ride recording loops(stop recording and it starts up again right after). I've notified Strava of this and I'm sure it will be fixed soon.

Ratings and reviews

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+: App does what is intended with one exception. When the phone is turned on or restarted, the app automatically starts up and begins tracking your ride, even though the phone is not moving. On multiple occasions the phone had been recording my location history for over 600+ hours. There is no setting to prevent the app from running on start-up. When this occurs the battery is drained by 50% in over a few hours with no use at all. As a result the app has since been uninstalled, and will remain that way until fixed.

If you're only going to do one thing you best do it well. Far more efficient than fumbling through my app drawer to find the app and select the proper tab before confirming my ride. One tap allows me to fumble with my phone & begin recording last second rides I might've otherwise missed with relative ease. If pressed, I'd update the app icon/logo a bit as it is a bit chunky looking next to the rest of my desktop apps. Hell I'd happily offer my design services pro bono ;) TY!

Have loved this app for years, so simple. Unfortunately it won't install on my pixel 8. Any chance you can update it?
