NOTE ON GPS SUPPORT:
Strava depends on GPS for recording activities. In some devices, the GPS does not work properly and Strava will not record effectively. If your Strava recordings show poor location estimation behavior, please try to update the operating system to the most recent version. There are some devices which have consistently poor performance with no known remedies. On these devices we restrict installation of Strava, for example the Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 and the Galaxy Express 2 .

It's great to have such competiton and also Strava helps you a lot in training sessions as it measures all the data you need to know. The app is perfect for everybody who wants to compete, train, relax and enjoy some sport. I strongly recommend it.

Comparison with past runs and rides to track progress is the best. Does not work for other sports though. Segments to compare with others are cool. Being in touch how friends are working out is motivating. The gap is a Google map on mobile. The lack of it's details does not tell where they were. Switch to OSM as on web will help.

Cyclist premium user. Rides with mates and sportives rather than racer. Syncs with zwift and garmin effortlessly. This is my central repository of on road and online riding and training. it costs but, I find it convenient, used by mates and lots of functions to use routes from others, load segments on garmin, look at historic trends on speed and power and potentially follow workouts - though i principally use zwift and gcn for workouts.

Strava is the best app for training, connecting with friends, and staying motivated. However, it always seems to have some issues that are a bit frustrating. My latest problem is that the pics don't all load up at once. If there are three pics, for example, I have to go in and exit out three times so that each picture loads. Is very frustrating, specially when there are tons of pictures.

I like the community aspect of this app. It keeps me going. As far as live recording of activities, the auto pause resume doesnt work as well as I would like and the recording page is not as customizable. I normally use a gps watch, but there are times where I forget the watch and need the app and the strava app is a worthy substitute, but not perfect.

Steve Dankert

As a cyclist and runner I use this app nearly every day. It is great for encouraging my fitness friends by recognizing them for their workout. The KOM's and PR tracking is fun but for cycling it isn't very reflective of individual effort as most of these are set when riding with a group.

It's ok and everyone uses it, but there's a lot wrong with it. There have been no new features for years, the premium subscription is completely not worth it, and basics like accurately calculating calories are broken (it over-estimates by 30%).

Joanna Wassink June 27, 2017

I think this app is great for bicycling. It has a very accurate gps but there are features that are free on other apps that require the premium on Strava. The premium cost is also high compared to others

Eduardo Rodriguez June 28, 2017

I like it very much and I pay for the vip however I find that the cadence sensor gives information that goes not where in the graphs. Before it would show but not anymore. Compatibility with Garmin and fitbit tracker with hr monitor should be implemented.

Steven Townley June 27, 2017

Won't start on Elephone P9000 (Android 6). "Unfortunately Strava has stopped" as soon as I try to launch. Still broken despite latest update. Other P9000 users report exactly the same. Is anyone even looking at this?

Dan Roddy June 26, 2017

So far I have strained my knees, hurt my back and written off a front wheel. All in pursuit of the elusive PB* and kudos. This app gets me going where my inner will just wants to play PS4 . One thing though, could we get a UK English update? It's PB, not PR.! ;)

Ian Yarbrough June 27, 2017

The latest update sucks. I don't need An extra button push between me and a workout, 3 clicks was too many in the first place. Doing away with auto names sucks too

Aruneel Das June 28, 2017

Everything about this app is great. I have used it for sometimes and found this app to be amazing. I can easily see all my previous records and present records. I This app is pretty user-friendly and doesn't take much work to get to be able to use it . The only problem I have with this app is that It doesn't support paring with my - mi smart band. Most of my friends are using the mi smart band and all of them are facing the same issue. I don't know how the business works , or do your company needs to collaborate with the mi company or any other technicalities but it would be very much helpful if this app supports paring with my mi smart band. Other than that this app is the best app for me at least till now.

Matt Stewart June 27, 2017

I use this app nearly every day and I love it! I can see how I'm improving against my previous times on trails I run often. I use the challenges to stay motivated. One of the most useful things recently has been using the search feature to find tracks people have recorded in places I'm unfamiliar with. I recently went to Oahu, HI and found several great runs to try out using this feature.

Praveen Ravindranathan June 28, 2017

Most features in the free version are good. Occasionally the ride data is inaccurate. Auto pause is a little dicey if one needs to walk about, say when shopping. Tracking available only in the paid version.

Frederic Lacroix June 28, 2017

Good app but the ability to upload from my Garmin doesn't allow me to rename my rides meaningfully. That's a shame as otherwise I find it a great training tool.

Andy Giroux June 27, 2017

I love the app. It's simple and easy to use, and they keep adding more features. Love the trends and am excited to try out the training feature.

Sam Dixon June 27, 2017

I have used this app for a few years and loved it! **BUT recently the GPS tracking has become very inaccurate (a 5km parkrun was 1.1km out!) and segments are not being recording.. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!**

AJ Johnson June 28, 2017

Does everything I want. I am considering purchasing the premium edition to get more stats. My only knock is it seems to take away tenths of a mile at times. If my Garmin says 6.2 it will only list 6 miles. Oh well.

Zaan Redelinghuys June 27, 2017

This app has quickly gone from amazing to quite disappointing. I don't remember how long it has been this way, but lately I haven't been able to track cycles. It auto pauses after 10 seconds and don't resume again. Also when I went for a run, it timed my run, but nothing else was measured. I don't know if only I have this problem, but it really annoys me.

Luke Osborne June 27, 2017

Started nagging me to rate it for the first time in years, don't like nag ware. Also listen to your users about feedback on features instead of hiding and failing to communicate on your own forums.

June 27, 2017

Seriously does everything you'd want out of a ride/run tracker and throws in a social media aspect that allows you to connect with other locals. Supports an amazing amount of training monitors as well.

William Thompson June 27, 2017

Great app. even if you have a bad day somewhere on in your work out you will have beaten your time or done well which is a great feature to have :)

Antony Baker June 26, 2017

What an excellent idea, to make s training aid that is part social media site. Although Strava may not have been the first, they have done a good job, this stuff is addictive! The premium membership does look very expensive considering what you get for free, but at least no adverts (yet)

Tyler Schaller June 27, 2017

Huge fan, love the real-life rewards and contests. Encourages you to beat your PR and monitors your progress if you run the same route more than once

Jesse Patrick June 27, 2017

Pretty pushy for me to rate your app. Simple app with basic need to know info without ads. Additional feature for a subscription fee. The push to rate is annoying though.

Jeff Ho June 27, 2017

Great app for cyclists and runners. Improvement can be done to include more of the desktop features (e.g. tracking of form, power curve) on the mobile app. Overall good work.

June 28, 2017

Excellent way of tracking your progress and logging your miles. If you're a runner or cyclist, you need Strava! Don't be a @stravawanker and log your lawn mowing! All it needs to improve is a way of reporting cyclists/drivers stealing segments. Sort it out!

Jonathan Ash June 28, 2017

Conned into an annual subscription after choosing 1 mth free trial. Be careful, you cannot get out of the contract until your 12mths are up and the benefits of a full subscription are pretty limited given the cost.

Jerrett Hansen June 26, 2017

fun app that you can race other people's times that go the same route as you. not one negative comment on any of my posts from strangers lol

Jason Bishop June 27, 2017

Use it daily. Fills a nice hole in SM tools where I don't have to be fully engaged with a million other people's lives but can view and support as needed.

Omid Rahat June 27, 2017

I am using the paid version almost daily for cycling. Won't ride without thus app mostly due to its social aspects. Otherwise there are lots of other apps which offer more for free. Strava needs major upgrade.

Bobsmei Bontilao June 27, 2017

Going great since my last use, which was full of crashes. Now its running glitch free and now has some practical featurea that makes using it easier.

Faye Bailey-Reed June 27, 2017

It's OK, doesn't always track your time correctly, weekly totals don't always show and your activity does not always show in your club leader boards. Has the potential to be a great app but needs some work.

Breno Arantes June 27, 2017

I use a garmin gps to upload data to their website. So only use the app to check out friend's rides, but the service they provide is fantastic anyway

Kenneth Pang June 28, 2017

Love it. Would love even more if we can bookmark favourite sessions, and manually choose to post as public or private. I dont like spamming everyone with my daily commutes

Nattakrit Thewphaingarm June 27, 2017

Best App for cycling! Would be better if I could view laps on the app. Currently I have to look em up from Strava website.

Ryan Stitt June 28, 2017

Great app for tracking workouts for activities generally based on distance. To get the app to 5 stars, I would like the ability to edit workouts more easily from the app.

Joel Stanford June 27, 2017

Indespensible for runners and cyclists! Basically the FB of athletics. Love the app, though I love the website just as much. Wish we could flag activities or crop them in app.

James Staniforth June 28, 2017

Been using the app since 2012 & it's just told me to rate it, so I thought it's the most I could do. Simply it's the best sports tracking app there is!!
